A Technology Broker and Management Company Specializing in KM Systems
Favorite If we liken KM implementation to a business start-up, there are many lessons we can learn and apply. Image by www.inkmedia.eu on Flickr In many ways, the initial implementation of Knowledge Management within an organisation is like the launch of a new product into a market by a start-up

Favorite The Earth’s climate is a highly complex, dynamic system. It is difficult to understand and predict how different climate variables interact. Finding causal relations in climate research today relies mostly on expensive and time-consuming model simulations. Fortunately, with the explosion in the availability of large-scale climate data and increasing

Favorite Interpreting 3D seismic data correctly helps identify geological features that may hold or trap oil and gas deposits. Amazon SageMaker and Apache MXNet on AWS can automate horizon picking using deep learning techniques. In this post, I use these services to build and train a custom deep-learning model for

Favorite In a 2015 video reprise from Edward Rogers, CKO of NASA Goddard, he explains what he sees as the 5 most common mistakes in implementing KM. All of these stem from one reason, which is that KM people too often fail to learn from the experience of the past.

Favorite The best definition of a Knowledge Worker is “someone who knows (or learns) more about their job than their boss does”. So how does this work in a hierarchy? Percentage of people in each country who agreed with the statement “It is important for a manager to have precise

Favorite People often ask us “how do we incentivise knowledge sharing?” I often answer “don’t bother. Incentivise knowledge seeking and re-use instead”. I give this answer, because knowledge sharing in itself achieves nothing. Knowledge needs to be sought and re-used before any value has been added, and re-use is often

Favorite Amazon Polly turns text into lifelike speech, which allows you to create voice-enabled applications. AWS is excited to announce the general availability of all standard voices in the Middle East (Bahrain) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Regions. Customers in these Regions can now synthesize over 60 standard voices available
