Beyond knowledge management to better management
A conversation about responsible AI, machine learning, ethics, and knowledge management. Boinodiris and Snowden discuss the differences between human and machine intelligence and what happens when we blindly rely on machines.
Rewilding is about restoring the balance in nature by reintroducing both prey AND predators in an area. We have lost balance in KM by focusing on technology at the expense of people and how they work. So we now must rebalance KM.

At this point, most firms... Continue Reading →
One of the thorniest problems we've faced in knowledge management has been how to explain what we do. Ray Sims set out to determine if there was a definition of knowledge management that could help with this. What he discovered was not one or two, but rather 62 definitions of KM. That's more than one... Continue Reading →
