From Creative Friction to Living Ecosystems

From Creative Friction to Living Ecosystems: Transforming Knowledge Management from Competition to Collaborative Innovation

This Round Table addresses the fundamental transformation occurring in knowledge management, drawing from the KMGN 2025 curriculum's most innovative concepts. The session provides Swiss organizations with practical frameworks for evolving from traditional knowledge repositories to dynamic, collaborative ecosystems that generate sustainable competitive advantage through knowledge positioning rather than resource competition.

Participants will explore how creative friction between different knowledge domains generates innovation, examine real-world cases of organizations that have successfully transformed their industries through knowledge assets, and develop actionable strategies for implementing these approaches within their own contexts. The session emphasizes practical application through structured exercises and provides tools that can be immediately deployed in organizational settings

 

Refreshments will be served in the location, 30 min before start.

17.10.2024 | 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.

13.06.2024 | 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.

06.10.2023 | Trust in the age of AI

What impact is AI having on our work, and what should we do about it?

This is one of the exciting challenges raised by our SKMF Geneva Community at our past round table event. The roundtable will be led by Sarah Schwab and co-facilitated by Gianguglielmo Calvi.

What implications has AI technology within the context of knowledge management for global and decentralised organisations? At the center of our conversations will be questions of trustworthiness when comparing AI powered tools with our existing systems.
