Tacit knowledge sharing with voice recordings - an AI function for easy capture and exchange?

Friday, 18.10.2024 - General Assembly (GA) for members only at 5:30 pm - Focus Discussion at 6:15 pm

You are warmly invited to participate at our special Focus Discussion after the annual SKMF General Assembly.

In 2024, SKMF participated in the industry leading European Conference on Knowledge Management (ECKM) in Veszprém, Hungary. We will introduce the new ideas from ECKM on how to improve the tacit knowledge sharing. Easy knowledge sharing has always been the dream and constant challenge for KM professionals. Digital technology now promises a solution, as demonstrated at ECKM 2024 and now shared with you.

We’ll explore how to design efficient knowledge sharing processes, identify best practices from industry experts, and discuss how technology and AI can streamline voice processing.

Join this FocusDiscussion and share your expertise. Take away insights and tools for your professional work, such as a workflow to process voice recordings.

The link to GA documents can be found in the member area after login.

Knowledge Management & Human Rights: a policy round table

In today's complex world, effective human rights policies are more crucial than ever. Yet, how can we ensure these policies are built on a solid foundation of knowledge and evidence, and implemented taking into account all the relevant local perspectives?

This pressing question is at the heart of the conversation hosted by the latest Swiss Knowledge Management Forum (SKMF) Round Table in Geneva and promoted by Diego Costa Fernandes, Founder of Planetary Collaboration.

Drawing from his wealth of experience, Diego will guide us through the labyrinth of modern policy-making, showing how knowledge management can be the compass we need to craft more effective, evidence-based policies.

With the help of two facilitators, the participants will engage in rich discussions and interactive "policy making" games, sharing their own experiences and challenges.

Digital Knowledge Management at Siemens

"Siemens References" is an innovative web platform designed to facilitate the worldwide exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices across the Siemens company. This platform connects and stimulates direct exchange and communication amongst employees. Observations have shown that the resulting knowledge transfer takes place not only via the application but also, in tandem, through bilateral channels.

During this roundtable, participants will learn about the “Siemens References” platform and explore interesting questions about how to engage people in internal collaboration platforms and how to motivate and sustain the surrounding communities – and linkages to performance and knowledge management.

Forgetful knowledge: how memory rewrites what we know

Under the guidance of distinguished neuroscientist Dr Marc Turiault, the roundtable will take participants on a journey through the fascinating intersections of memory, creativity, and knowledge management.

We will explore the impact of memory’s malleability on our understanding of the world as revealed by groundbreaking experiments and dig deeper into how memories shape and reshape our knowledge and perception.

Seize this chance to be part of a critical conversation that bridges theory and practice, illuminating the pathways through which memory continuously rewrites what we know.

Roundtables

The round table is a semi-structured discussion designed to informally gather people who share an interest in Knowledge Management, IT and life in organizations.

The languages of the roundtables are German, French or English depending on the location
