EK has announced a new schedule of webinars to promote thought leadership during this time of remote work. In place of in-person Meetups and KM Wine & Design Workshops, EK will host a series of Webinars and Online Round Tables over the next several weeks.
The goal for these virtual sessions is two-fold.
- Ensure EK continues to discuss the value of Knowledge Management, Enterprise AI, and Advanced Search in clear and actionable ways; and
- Provide the Knowledge Management community with a continued outlet for connection and learning.

It will provide a check-list of foundational elements necessary to prepare for Knowledge AI, discuss business cases and budgeting for AI roadmaps, and cover the first steps of your Enterprise AI journey to ensure you’re demonstrating real business value and validating your organization’s priorities.

An effective search experience is one of the most impactful means of surfacing the knowledge, information, and data within your organization. Though search has been around for years, many organizations are still struggling to make it work for their end users. Good KM design and practices can play a major role in enabling search, and increasingly, the latest concepts and technologies in Artificial Intelligence are being brought to bear to enable truly connected search experiences. In this webinar, Joe Hilger and Stephon Harris will lay out the foundations of good search, offer strategies to improve your search immediately, and discuss a roadmap to leveraging AI to fuel your (near) future search experience.
