Past Events

Zurich | 30.09.2026

Some views can change your perspective. What form do thoughts take? Can they be visualized?

The interplay of arguments in discussions can be visualized.

In this roundtable, you’ll experience how perspectives and arguments can be linked in a new way. While you discuss a specific topic, we’ll simultaneously build a “View” in LD Cards—a visual representation of the arguments and their logical connections. It’s as complex as a force diagram with multiple perspectives, yet as simple and visually accessible as a mind map. Connections extend from the arguments in the view to other LD Cards and to the internet.

You’ll take away a new method for connecting ideas and making knowledge sharing possible.

SAQ Central Switzerland with SKMF: Quality Management and Knowledge Management in Practice—Two Sides of the Same Coin?

 SAQ SKMF Partner Event (in German)

SKMF is organizing this event in collaboration with the Swiss Association for Quality (SAQ) Central Switzerland.

Both disciplines share a common goal: the sustainable performance of organizations. But how can we not only document knowledge but also effectively integrate it into processes, decisions, and daily workflows?

What changes are necessary to ensure that knowledge is available where it’s needed? And how can we inspire leaders to embrace the benefits of knowledge management?

Knowledge management is often viewed through rose-colored glasses. People imagine that a magic fairy in the form of a tool will do the work for them. At this event, we’ll explore both best practices and gaps in knowledge management through three concrete case studies.

We’ll examine the perspective of large companies as well as the unique challenges and opportunities faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), where knowledge is often closely tied to individual employees. We’ll come to understand knowledge management as an essential prerequisite for effective quality management.

Look forward to concrete practical examples and real-world experiences from everyday business life. In discussion sessions, we’ll delve deeper into the case studies and apply them to our own organizations. You’ll return with a fresh perspective on your processes. 

Because one thing is becoming increasingly clear: Excellent processes alone aren’t enough—it’s the right knowledge that makes them effective.

Lean Information: Building information quality cultures in AI-driven organizations

Quality information is essential for successful Knowledge Management (KM). Organizations invest significantly in managing their information but much less in optimizing the information itself – despite its intrinsic value for improving results.

Welcome to Lean Information! With roots in lean manufacturing and information science, information is “lean” when it is free of waste for its audience. Wasteful information costs time and money, and poses risk.

Join this session to learn how optimizing information from a waste vs. lean perspective offers advantages such as useful metrics, engaged managers, and motivated employees.

Through two customer case studies, you will see how Lean was used to improve information and data. See how this approach can support new employee competencies that build information quality cultures and improve AI data readiness.

After this session you will be able to:

• Understand lean information principles

• Recognize how they could be used in your KM work

• Apply a key process step to help build your information quality culture
