Earlier this month, Kelle O’Neal and John Ladley took a fresh look at the topic of knowledge management, covering its history and how it applies today to Big Data and analytics in a Data Insights & Analytics webinar, a partnership with DATAVERSITY.
What follows is a brief recap of the Big Data as a Gateway to Knowledge Management webinar. To hear the full one-hour educational program, visit DATAVERSITY’s webinar archive. Our presentation material can be found here on SlideShare.
Knowledge Management Webinar Highlights
- Knowledge management, the process of creating, sharing, using and managing an organization’s knowledge and information, is again at the forefront of data management. It’s a concept that was a hot topic back in the ’90s, when data volumes began to grow and the potential of data warehouses and business intelligence were getting a lot of focus in the industry.
- Business drivers that support knowledge management are:
- the overwhelming wave of data volume
- unstructured data (email messages, survey responses, call center transcripts, social media conversations, etc.)
- a loss of organizational knowledge and wisdom via an aging and transitioning workforce
- the need to reuse valuable knowledge and stop reinventing the wheel
- Today’s technology supports knowledge management via advancements in technology — e.g., AI, machine learning, linguistic analysis, text mining, etc.
