Content Management Systems are a great tool that allows people to find relevant information regarding their questions. Most are structurally built for the English-speaking world and their cultures. They are formal and outlined properly. Many companies have won awards based on how their systems work and decrease the number of questions being asked to their employees.

When organizations start or relocate to other countries and cultural areas, they bring award-winning systems to speed up the employee’s transition to the new organization, or so it is believed. Without regard to culture, this movement fails.

Does your knowledge organization struggle with cumbersome, time consuming and ineffective knowledge capture and sharing processes? Intelligent use of modern, configurable technologies can transform knowledge flows and reimagine the knowledge worker experience in a matter of weeks instead of months or years for custom development.

At Grant Thornton, we have orchestrated simple, modern and secure knowledge flows by leveraging low-code/no-code solutions, analytics and smart design principles. By focusing on the employee experience and right uses cases, we have several practical and high impact knowledge flow transformation stories we can learn from as a community.

13:31 – 14:01: How Knowledge Graphs are Fueling the Rebirth of Knowledge Management Read More & WATCH VIDEO
Lulit Tesfaye, Partner and Division Director, Enterprise Knowledge

Lulit Tesfaye, Partner and Division Director, Enterprise Knowledge

The mission of Knowledge Management is to link all of an organization’s knowledge, in all its forms, making it not just findable, but understandable and actionable. Organizations have for years struggled to achieve this mission, stumbling through a host of issues that resulted in lack of adoption or outright failure to “make it work.” With the dawn of knowledge graphs, however, many organizations are unlocking a critical key to successful KM transformations and are finally realizing their KM goals for the enterprise. Knowledge Graphs, when designed and implemented properly, can connect all of an organization’s knowledge assets, both structured and unstructured, creating a logical and intuitive web that can drive relationships, make connections, ensure the right information gets to the right people, and even drive artificial intelligence for the organization.

In this presentation Lulit Tesfaye will answer these questions:

– What are knowledge graphs, how do they work, and what can they do for your organization?
– How do knowledge graphs fit into the KM landscape?
– How can organizations get started harnessing the power of knowledge graphs?
– How are knowledge graphs used to achieve Enterprise AI?

14:04 – 14:34: Why Augmented Intelligence is a game-changer for Knowledge Management Read More

Augmented intelligence is a partnership model of people and artificial intelligence (AI) working together to enhance cognitive performance and make Knowledge Management understandable and actionable. Since 80% of enterprise data is available just in an unstructured format, NLP and Machine Learning are heavily applied to support this. But Machine Learning is not enough to provide explainable decision models and to incorporate domain knowledge for higher precision. Applying Composite AI techniques help us to overcome these shortcomings for better Augmented Intelligence which is able to connect KM outcomes to business outcomes.

Stephanie Barnes, Chief Chaos Organiser, Entelechy

Radical Knowledge Management advocates that creativity, specifically arts-based interventions, is the missing piece of the KM puzzle. Most people treat KM like it is a wired computer network: they can see all the bits and pieces (documents and repositories are the servers, cables, and desktop computers) but the real value in in going wireless–tablets, phones, and laptops and that is Radical KM; creativity is like wifi. Creativity, like going wireless, allows people the flexibility of looking at the world from someplace different, it enables innovation, and challenging the status quo.
