Presented by Zach Wahl, CEO, and Mary Little, Knowledge Management Practice Lead, on Thursday, April 2nd.
With the current global COVID-19 pandemic, companies big and small, global and local, have found themselves in a much different reality and have been forced into remote work situations. Knowledge Management, when well-designed and implemented, can play a major role in helping an organization maintain the three c’s of organizational health: connections, collaboration, and culture.
In this webinar, Zach Wahl and Mary Little will discuss how KM supports effective remote work, and will offer recommendations for how organizations can improve their KM and remote work immediately.
Organizations across the world are grappling with how to maximize the knowledge that their employees have access to. They face similar core business challenges related to knowledge management (KM):
- Staff can’t easily find useful and relevant information, when they need it.
- There is a lack of trust that the information their staff come across is complete, up-to-date, and accurate.
- Collaboration is hindered by silos.
- Expertise, best practices, and lessons learned aren’t exchanged in a way that could drive innovation and creativity.
- Knowledge is “walking out the door” when people leave.
- Onboarding processes aren’t supporting new staff in getting acclimated effectively.
While many organizations face similar business challenges, how these challenges emerge and look within an organization vary based on its culture and operating environment. In this presentation, Mary Little, Practice Lead, and Kristin McNally, Senior Consultant, of Enterprise Knowledge, share methods and proven practices in assessing an organization’s KM maturity, surfacing their primary KM challenges, and defining a roadmap to their KM goals that is framed within the context of their business.

Practical Knowledge Management: Assessing Where You Are, Where You Want to Be...Enterprise Knowledge
Knowledge Management should be a critical component of any
organization's strategy, operations, and technical infrastructure.
However, many organizations continue to struggle with defining
what KM is, what they can get out of it, and how it integrates with their business. Much of this challenge is due to the fact that KM has long been an ill-defined concept, coopted by academics that fail to focus on business value. Other organizations have struggled with KM due to an inability to recognize that effective KM transcends a single discipline, integrating People, Culture, Processes, Technology, and Content throughout and between the various functions on an organization.
This session defines business-focused KM and discusses the
various aspects of Knowledge and Information Management that yield true business value. It also defines an Agile approach to understanding the current status and future needs for KM within an organization, including the introduction of EK's KM
benchmarking system for understanding where your organization should focus.

The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers - Heather Hedden.pdfEnterprise Knowledge
Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers” at a webinar hosted by Progress Semaphore on April 16, 2024.
Taxonomies at their core enable effective tagging and retrieval of content, and combined with ontologies they extend to the management and understanding of related data. There are even greater benefits of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance your enterprise information architecture when applying them to a semantic layer. A survey by DBP-Institute found that enterprises using a semantic layer see their business outcomes improve by four times, while reducing their data and analytics costs. Extending taxonomies to a semantic layer can be a game-changing solution, allowing you to connect information silos, alleviate knowledge gaps, and derive new insights.
Hedden, who specializes in taxonomy design and implementation, presented how the value of taxonomies shouldn’t reside in silos but be integrated with ontologies into a semantic layer.
Learn about:
- The essence and purpose of taxonomies and ontologies in information and knowledge management;
- Advantages of semantic layers leveraging organizational taxonomies; and
- Components and approaches to creating a semantic layer, including the integration of taxonomies and ontologies

Knowledge Graphs are Worthless, Knowledge Graph Use Cases are PricelessEnterprise Knowledge
At Knowledge Graph Forum 2022, Lulit Tesfaye and Sara Nash, Senior Consultant discuss the importance of establishing valuable and actionable use cases for knowledge graph efforts. The discussion draws on lessons learned from several knowledge graph development efforts to define how to diagnose a bad use case and outlined their impact on initiatives - including strained relationships with stakeholders, time spent reworking priorities, and team turnover. They also share guidance on how to navigate these scenarios and provide a checklist to assess a strong use case.
For KM practitioners, Agile frameworks have long been important for optimizing stakeholder value and satisfaction in KM initiatives. Over 20 years ago, a group of software developers revolutionized their field by introducing the Agile Manifesto to guide their industry in adopting Agile values, frameworks, and practices. However, until now, KM practitioners have lacked a formal framework demonstrating how to apply Agility to KM. In short, it is time to codify these Agile principles in a manner suited for the KM profession. Leveraging the original Agile Manifesto for inspiration, Andrew Politi and Megan Salerno introduced “The Agile KM Manifesto” at KM World 2022. The presentation is designed to initiate a conversation amongst KM practitioners across the industry about this initial version of the Agile KM Manifesto (the 'AKM'), and solicit feedback on future iterations.
Next, the presenters walked through three EK case studies demonstrating how the application of its principles could have saved significant time in those initiatives.
First, we described how a global non-profit approached EK to address duplicate and outdated content, and the lack of content creation standards.
Applicable AKM principle: "Content should only be available to users if it is new, essential, reliable, dynamic, and reusable. If these criteria are not met, the content must be cleaned-up or archived accordingly.”"
Next was a discussion of how national nuclear research laboratory struggled to share and discover knowledge from retiring employees and compartmentalized silos.
Applicable AKM principle: “Tacit knowledge and expertise should be proactively and formally captured and stored in the same manner as explicit knowledge.”
Finally, the presenters described how one of the largest multinational athletic apparel companies struggled to help geographically separated teams collectively and collaboratively reuse knowledge and create content across the globe, even functionally similar focus roles.
Applicable AKM principle: “All KM efforts must leverage a common language. Develop, socialize, and employ a common KM language so stakeholders don't speak past each other and can maintain consensus throughout your KM effort.”
Ultimately, this presentation served to introduce The AKM to the broader community, demonstrate its value, and solicit input from across the industry.
Road Maps & Roadblocks to Federal Electronic Records ManagementEnterprise Knowledge
Angela Pitts, Sr. Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, and Dave Simmons, Sr. Records Officer at General Services Administration (GSA), presented a case study in federal electronic records management that detailed the success of the GSA's Enterprise Document Management Solution (EDMS). They detailed the strategies used to identify elements of organizational change management required to successfully transition standard functions of records management (RM)—capture, maintenance, disposal, transfer, assignment of metadata, and reporting—from manual, paper-based practices to more efficient and less costly electronic systems.
Records Management is a necessary component of successful Knowledge Management as it systematically manages valuable content created and owned by the business. With technological advancements, most agencies have seen the volume of document records increase exponentially because they are now frequently born and managed as digital content through the records lifecycle. Acknowledging the challenge of managing more content with fewer people, Angela and Dave explained how the design of GSA's lean and agile systems and workflows enabled the agency to reduce the resources and attention needed to manage content collections while maintaining legal compliance and quality standards.

Identifying Security Risks Using Auto-Tagging and Text AnalyticsEnterprise Knowledge
On Thursday, November 10, Joe Hilger and Sara Duane spoke at Text Analytics Forum about identifying secure and confidential information using auto-tagging. Information security continues to grow in importance in today's society. We hear stories all of the time about hackers accessing private information from companies and government agencies. Every organization struggles with employees who store confidential information on insecure network drives or cloud drives. Joe and Sara did a project with a federal research organization that used auto-tagging and text analytics to identify confidential information that needed to be moved to a secure location. During the presentation, we shared the approach we took to identify this information and how we made sure that the tagging and text analytics were accurate. Attendees learned best practices for designing a taxonomy for auto-tagging and tuning auto-tagging as well as ways to identify confidential information across the enterprise.
Zach Wahl and Sara Mae O'Brien-Scott spoke at the 2022 Taxonomy Boot Camp in Washington, D.C. on taxonomy's critical role in delivering what every end user now expects—a seamless and personalized experience. Personalization is harnessed by the most successful organizations to anchor their content experience by allowing users to connect with content based on key characteristics. O’Brien-Scott and Wahl provided an understanding of how taxonomy powers personalization by detailing real-world use cases and best practices for taxonomy design for personalization. They discussed the personalization maturity scale, including how taxonomy lays the groundwork for enabling cutting-edge solutions such as recommendation engines, automated content assembly, and omnichannel delivery. They also shared expected outcomes of personalization such as increased conversion rates, a decrease in employee turnover, and stronger user engagement.

Their presentation “Climbing the Ontology Mountain to Achieve a Successful Knowledge Graph” focused on how ontologies have gained momentum as a strong foundation for resolving business challenges through semantic search solutions, recommendation engines, and AI strategies. Cakici and Doughty explained that taxonomists are now faced with the challenge of gaining knowledge and experience in designing and documenting complex solutions that involve the integration of taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs. They also emphasized that taxonomists are well poised to learn how to design user-centric ontologies, analyze and map data from various systems, and understand the technological architecture of knowledge graph solutions. After describing the key roles and responsibilities needed for a team to successfully implement Knowledge Graph projects, Cakici and Doughty shared practical ontology design considerations and best practices based on their own experience. Lastly, Cakici and Doughty reviewed the most common use cases for knowledge graphs and presented real world applications through a case study that illustrated ontology design and the value of knowledge graphs.
JPL’s Institutional Knowledge Graph II: A Foundation for Constructing Enterpr...Enterprise Knowledge
Previously at KMWorld 2021, EK joined JPL to share the vision, approach, and delivery of the Institutional Knowledge Graph (IKG), a centrally maintained, ever-evolving knowledge graph identifying and describing JPL’s enterprise-wide concepts, such as people, organizations, projects, and facilities, and the relationships between them. Since August 2020, the IKG has offered a single source of enterprise information that other JPL applications can leverage to reduce redundancy and out-of-date or inaccurate data. In production for 2 years and now with several releases under its belt, the IKG is beginning to fulfill its promise as a foundational layer in the semantic pyramid for additional taxonomies and knowledge graphs to build upon.
At KM World 2022, Bess Schrader, Senior Solutions Consultant at EK, and Ann Bernath, Software Systems Engineer at JPL, shared a follow-up to the IKG journey including a description of the Enterprise Semantic Platform, a look at new taxonomies and knowledge graphs at JPL (enterprise-wide, others specific to engineering, technical, or science domains) and how they are beginning to leverage the IKG’s foundation of JPL concepts to enrich their dataset into a broader context. This presentation discussed different techniques to federate or synchronize multiple knowledge graphs and how these diverse integrations benefit not only the new datasets, but also the IKG as it continues to pursue its overarching dream--providing answers to questions such as, “Who did what when?”, “Who should you call?”, and “Where is the Robotics Lab?”

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
