When enterprise search has a strong emphasis on knowledge management, intellectual property, e-discovery and compliance, it becomes the foundation for comprehensive risk management.

Avoiding Legal Pitfalls Through Savvy Data Governance

Knowledge gaps are a moving target, and companies must institute continuous improvement procedures to keep up. Numerous avenues exist for detecting knowledge gaps, including employee assessments and technology-derived metrics.

Navigating the IT Landscape: Balancing Hybrid Cloud and Cloud Repatriation to Stay in Control of Your Infrastructure

To secure their data, certain industries have strict regulations regarding data storage, requiring data to be kept in specific geographic locations or under stringent security measures. This is yet another reason for organizations nowadays to switch back to on-prem resources.

Experts predict AI will continue impacting KM in 2025

AI continues to disrupt the knowledge management space and experts in the field predict that it's a trend that still hasn't reached its full potential, yet. In 2025 there's more room for improvement.

The Long- and Short-Term Impacts of AI Technologies

A much less-known but arguably more critical tech law is Amara's Law, which states that we tend to overestimate the short-term impact of new technology while underestimating its long-term effects.

On Chat AI and BS

So, I'm sticking with hallucinations for all of chat AI's statements, true or false. But that leaves us with a question: Why isn't there a word that perfectly expresses this situation? The answer is easy: LLMs are doing something genuinely new in our history. Our lack of a perfectly apt verb proves it.

Inefficient at the speed of light

While process mining started years ago as a mainly data-driven exercise, its stated goal is to be knowledge-driven. Given KM's multidisciplinary scope, we can play a major role in achieving that goal. Any process, no matter how simple, has the potential to reach across an entire business ecosystem, including all stakeholders. This seems like a perfect match for collaborative workflow, AI/ML, knowledge graphs, human sensemaking, and many of the other arrows in our KM quiver.
