Many thanks Dennis for your comment. A more up-to-date summary of emerging initiatives that are shaping the future of KM can be found in the comprehensive impact story we published earlier this year.

In regard to technology, the views that are most strongly expressed to me actually put forward the opposite viewpoint. They argue that too much of the focus in KM is on technology. For example, see the “Are these really KM trends?” item at the end of the latest “In the know” article. However, your comment suggests that understanding and integration could be enhanced both ways.

What you call knowledge science is already well advanced: that is, knowledge management as an academic (or scientific) discipline. Promoting this KM research to the KM community is the founding purpose of RealKM Magazine, and we’ve now published many hundreds of research summaries. Our achievements in this regard can be found in the impact story linked above.

For the latest academic overview of KM as a scientific discipline, see the article “Implications for the knowledge management discipline from a review of scientometric research.”

This is important organizational work with global implications. . One area of focus that could be added to the charter is technology. As a KM oriented technology company, it is clear that KM is not just training and KM, the practice is also intricately integrated with a to be determined knowledge science, and technology. This inclusion could be the lead-in to university and college business departments.

I would like to see the group evolve over time and agree on a Knowledge Science, and review relevant KM, cognitive, Natural Language Understanding systems and practical AI.

I know this is well beyond what you have been working on, I am simply Working Out Loud.

Thank you and Stan for this valent efford!
