From Information Chaos to Curated Knowledge : Accelerating Impact via AI-assisted KM

For decades, a substantial part of KM has focused on capturing and organizing what we already know. The advent of sophisticated AI compels us to ask a more powerful question: How can our knowledge assets be used to anticipate what we need to know next and to mitigate the disruption of the unknown unknowns?

This round table moves beyond the operational efficiencies of AI in KM. It reframes the discipline as a core strategic intelligence function capable of generating foresight and driving competitive advantage. Drawing inspiration from the cognitive architecture pioneered by the GGKP, we will explore how to build a proactive knowledge ecosystem—one that doesn't just answer queries, but surfaces opportunities, identifies risks, and contextualizes emerging trends.

This is not a technical showcase. It is a strategic dialogue for leaders, culminating in a hands-on "Cognitive Lab" where participants will use AI as a cognitive partner to synthesize conflicting information and derive strategic insights. The goal is to equip attendees with a robust framework for evolving their KM function from a passive repository into the proactive, intelligent engine of their organization.

This event will be in English

KM Storytelling Canvas – when a lack of knowledge results in business failure

In short: The KM Storytelling Canvas is a new tool for showing executives the value of KM projects. It does this by visualizing the relationship between a business problem and a lack of knowledge. The advantage is that it provides a solid factual basis for a story that will convince executives.

Join this SKMF Roundtable and use the KM Storytelling Canvas to solve a real-world business case:

Case description
Research and development of a medical product critical to saving lives failed technically and financially. We look at the causes from a KM perspective and how failure could have been avoided. You will then be able to apply what you have learned to your own KM work.

The KM Storytelling Canvas is a new tool to clarify the direct connection of how knowledge management can impact important organizational targets like productivity, financial performance or efficient collaboration.

This is achieved by visualizing the relationship between the business problem and the lack of knowledge, and vice versa. This interrelationship is constructed on the basis of known real events within the organization.

Its benefits are first a sound fact base for a story that convinces executives to seriously consider knowledge management as a strategic and operational function and second a way to strengthen the position of knowledge managers.

Join this roundtable as we participate in the discussion between the Senior Account Manager and the Head of Knowledge Management.

• How did these problems originate from a knowledge deficit perspective?
• How does the KM Storytelling Canvas help solve this dangerous situation?

"Thoughts on Knowledge Management" Discussion

This Roundtable is based on the bi-weekly published "Thoughts on Knowledge Management", which can be found on LinkedIn and here. We will randomly select appropriate statements from the following areas:

• Knowledge Management (KM)
• Definition of Knowledge
• Learning and Collaboration
• Change

For each selected "Thought" we will discuss various questions, e.g.: What is my opinion on this? What does this mean for my work? How can I make use of this "Thought"? What can I learn from it? Other questions that arise are also welcome.

This Roundtable is therefore 100% interactive and requires everyone to participate. It aims to provide all attendees (including the facilitator himself) with new insight. Depending on the audience, the discussions will be in German or English.

The discussions will help you see Knowledge Management and related disciplines from a different perspective and discover new aspects. Furthermore, you'll realize how some Knowledge Management principles apply not only to the professional context, but also to the everyday life.
