Artificial intelligence has officially crossed from buzzword to business imperative. Across the Fortune 1000, AI is reshaping how organizations manage knowledge, drive innovation, and make decisions with speed and confidence. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in knowledge management (KM), where generative AI is reducing time-to-insight, boosting research reuse, and making strategic content instantly actionable.
Disconnected systems, duplicate research, and fragmented access to insights cost enterprises millions in lost productivity, delayed decisions, and missed opportunities. Traditional knowledge management platforms were built to store information—not to surface strategic insights or drive timely action. In today’s dynamic environment, storing knowledge isn’t...
The pharmaceutical industry faces a paradox: more data and opportunity than ever before, yet more pressure to innovate quickly, reduce costs, and beat the competition. In a heavily regulated, research-intensive environment, innovation is often slowed by inefficiencies, duplicate work, and siloed knowledge. The solution isn’t just more information; it’s...
Poor visibility can be a problem. Meteorologists talk about it frequently, and we've all experienced it at one time or another -- say, when you're driving down a narrow, winding, country road... at night... in a blizzard.

Branding is an industry unto itself. More than a name, a logo, or a slogan, modern branding means creating a culture that can be as important to a company’s success as is its product/service design, price point, distribution, or even reputation. Just think about the almost cult-like status companies as diverse as Apple, SpaceX, Ferrari, Amazon, Coca-Cola,...
“What’s in a name?” Juliet mused to Romeo centuries ago. While Shakespeare’s question is still profound, in the 21 st century we’re far more likely to ask, “What’s attached to a name?” – what personal data related to my health, or finances, or friends and family, is being shared electronically, by whom, with whom?

Remember math class in elementary and junior high school? (Sorry to dredge up particularly painful memories. It will be over in a moment.) When you took a test, your teachers probably insisted you “show your work.” They didn’t want you to just dash off an answer. They wanted you to demonstrate how you arrived at your answer -- in detail. “Showing your work”...
It’s not easy being a subject matter expert (SME for short). And not only because it takes considerable time (likely many years) and effort to master a discipline, skill, or field to a degree that justifies the SME designation. It’s also hard because, as a SME – defined as an authority in a particular area or topic – it can feel as if everybody wants a...
