04.06.2025 | Engaging AI to Leverage Your Tacit Knowledge

Every time you prompt your Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tool online, it is updating its profile about you. 

What does it mean to be profiled by AI as an individual or as an organization? Imagine the social, economic, and political profiling differences among people. For example, a pharma scientist versus an environmental activist. As a society, we are just beginning to understand the implications of these biases.

At this roundtable, we will discuss how GenAI captures and structures tacit knowledge from individuals and organizations during prompting.

The speaker, Manfred Bornemann, is the former president of German Society for Knowledge Management (GfWM) and an expert on AI promoting. Manfred will begin with a brief overview of leading GenAI platforms and how they mine user prompting data. He will then explore the impact of GenAI on leadership and tacit knowledge. 

Key takeaways:

• Impact of prompting on our GenAI outcomes and knowledge work
• Leveraging bias in the use of AI
• Improving the value of our GenAI outcomes

A use case will invite you to challenge these ideas and share your experiences. The roundtable will be held in English.

21.01.2025 | Knowledge Management challenges and solutions seen through research: past, present and future

Patricia Wolf will present a historical overview of the evolution of knowledge management research, with a particular focus on the most persistent knowledge management challenges and proposed solutions over the past three and a half decades (1991-2023). Her work points to three recurring fundamental challenges over these decades:

1. organizational antecedents for implementing a knowledge sharing culture,
2. the use of ICT for knowledge transfer, and
3. knowledge transformation.

She will show how related challenges have evolved over time and look back at their impact with the audience. In the second part, she will present emerging challenges for the last decade to stimulate a discussion on what will be the key KM issues to prepare for in the future.

26.09.2023 | GfWM - KnowledgeCamp: Lean Information - An introduction

At the KnfowledgeCamp of the Society for Knowledge Management (GfWM) in Cologne, Ron Hyams presents how organisations can use lean information (consistently actionable) to save time, increase revenue, and reduce risk.

During the first session on 26.09 at 11:00, Ron’s focuses on what lean information is and how its skillset is a foundation of Knowledge Management.

During the follow-up session on 26.09 at 13:00, Ron applies a recent case study from the City of Bern to focus on some of the change competencies needed for teams to use lean information.
