From Information Chaos to Curated Knowledge : Accelerating Impact via AI-assisted KM
For decades, a substantial part of KM has focused on capturing and organizing what we already know. The advent of sophisticated AI compels us to ask a more powerful question: How can our knowledge assets be used to anticipate what we need to know next and to mitigate the disruption of the unknown unknowns?
This round table moves beyond the operational efficiencies of AI in KM. It reframes the discipline as a core strategic intelligence function capable of generating foresight and driving competitive advantage. Drawing inspiration from the cognitive architecture pioneered by the GGKP, we will explore how to build a proactive knowledge ecosystem—one that doesn't just answer queries, but surfaces opportunities, identifies risks, and contextualizes emerging trends.
This is not a technical showcase. It is a strategic dialogue for leaders, culminating in a hands-on "Cognitive Lab" where participants will use AI as a cognitive partner to synthesize conflicting information and derive strategic insights. The goal is to equip attendees with a robust framework for evolving their KM function from a passive repository into the proactive, intelligent engine of their organization.

17.10.2025 | From Creative Friction to Living Ecosystems
What happens when your best experts retire, your teams work in isolation, and breakthrough ideas die in meeting rooms, or worse, in forgotten databases?
Most organizations treat knowledge as something to protect and control, yet the companies creating real innovation today do the opposite - they turn knowledge into a living ecosystem where ideas flow freely and multiply through collaboration. This session, inspired by the most compelling insights from the KMGN - Knowledge Management Global Network 2025 Course, will reveal to participants how sustainable competitive advantage comes from connection, not protection.
Drawing from KMGN's breakthrough frameworks, we explore Arthur Shelley's Creative Friction model showing how controlled collision between different expertise domains sparks innovation. You will discover three powerful methods for transformation: KISMET (how Knowledge, Intelligence, Skills, Motivation, Environment, and Tenacity combine for innovation), the One Degree of Separation approach (connecting everyone in your organization directly), and Deliberating Structures that turn conflict into creative solutions.
We examine two transformative cases: Bergen's Hanseatic traders who created Europe's most successful trading network through radical openness, and Krasnoyarsk's restaurant community where competitors discovered that sharing their best recipes and techniques elevated the entire regional cuisine, attracting more customers for everyone. In structured table workshops, you will select and apply one of these methods to your organization's actual challenges, evaluating both the opportunities and the realistic barriers to implementation in your specific context.

more13.06.2024 | 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.
