What’s next in KM: All roads lead to AI

KM and AI are a natural team—their combined value can only be expected to increase in the future. As AI-powered technology becomes more integrated with both daily work functions and strategic planning, enterprise knowledge will come closer to achieving its full potential.

Navigating the risks and challenges of AI (quickly): Create an AI governance program

A strong AI governance program is essential to ensuring compliance and reducing risk. An equally important benefit is that by developing the governance program at the same time the AI application is being developed, issues can be identified early, thus avoiding system redesign or rework on the tail end.

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.

The rise and potential fall of the citizen developer

The citizen developer movement was heralded as a revolution. Like most revolutions, things have sometimes gone differently than planned. The logic is sound, empowering those who know the business best to build the tools and systems needed to do their job. Ah, if only things were that simple …

What is Bharat and why should you care?
