Program

18:30 Focus Discussion – AI and KM: How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing the Role of Knowledge Management

Many organizations are deploying AI tools, yet adoption and real business value often remain limited. At the same time, AI is exposing long-known information and knowledge management (KM) challenges such as fragmented knowledge, outdated content, unclear ownership and missing governance.

In this interactive focus discussion, we will explore how AI may reshape the role of KM: from content management toward knowledge flow, governance, trust, organizational learning and change enablement. Together, we will discuss what “AI-ready knowledge” could mean and which KM capabilities may become most important in the coming years.

The session is designed as an open peer exchange for KM professionals and will focus on practical experiences, questions, opportunities and concerns rather than technical deep dives or vendor solutions. The discussion will be held in English.

We look forward to seeing you on 10 June. Let’s share our knowledge in person.

27.01.2026 | "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.

Facilitator

Johannes ("Jonny") Müller works as Senior Manager Knowledge Management at Siemens, Smart Infrastructure Headquarters in Zug, Switzerland. Among other duties, he is responsible for the knowledge platform "Siemens References". Jonny is also a Board member of SKMF. Every two weeks, he posts a so-called "Thought on Knowledge Management" on LinkedIn with the aim of discussing and challenging KM aspects from different perspectives.
