Knowledge-as-a-Service
I present a relatively new concept of Knowledge-as-a-Service (KaaS).
KaaS is a blending of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Knowledge Management (KM) that will effectively be achieved by connecting content with content, content with people, and people with people. I demonstrate how the blending of AI and KM processes can scale the volume and effectiveness of knowledge within an organization.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) covers several sub-areas which include, Machine Learning, Expert Systems, Robotics, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to name a few.
As with all emerging technologies I work to demystify AI in order to make it real, achievable, and implementable.
Information Architecture
I present a practical and pragmatic approach that demonstrates how Information Architecture (IA), connects people to content and content to content that provides context to consumers of information.
Knowledge Management
I demonstrate the power of Knowledge Management (KM) by showing organizations how to capture, codify, share, use/reuse, learn, and govern their knowledge for a competitive advantage.
