We live in a world awash in information. Yet, finding the precise piece of knowledge we need, when we need it, feels increasingly like searching for a needle in a haystack the size of, well, the internet. It’s a paradox. We’re drowning in data, but parched for wisdom.
This week on Connected Knowledge, Pete sits down with Fiona Vanderlinde to grapple with this very conundrum. Fiona offers a glimpse into the challenges organizations face in managing and delivering knowledge effectively in our fast-paced digital world. Think of it as a cognitive traffic jam. Information everywhere, but no one’s moving. They explore the crippling effects of information overload on your agents. How is this impacting our productivity?Our decision-making? It’s death by a thousand clicks.
But what if there was a way to cut through the noise? To deliver knowledge with surgical precision, right when and where it’s needed? Pete and Fiona delve into the critical concept of contextual relevance. Imagine a surgeon mid-operation. A generic manual isn’t going to save the patient. Knowledge needs to be laser-focused, tailored to the user’s immediate context. And what about personalization? We all learn differently. One-size-fits-all rarely fits anyone. Can AI truly tailor knowledge delivery to individual learning styles? Can we trust algorithms to understand our unique needs? It’s a question of both capability and trust.
Fiona introduces Smart snippets. Bite-sized pieces of knowledge, delivered with pinpoint accuracy. Think of it as a GPS for your brain, guiding you through the information labyrinth. Pete and Fiona unpack the power of smart snippets to empower both employees and customers, leading to faster resolutions, happier clients, and a more knowledgeable workforce. Fiona offers a real-world analogy of Panviva’s Digital Orchestrator, explaining how this platform orchestrates the flow of knowledge within an organization, transforming static libraries into dynamic, intelligent resources. They discuss the tangible benefits, the ROI of knowledge, with stories of companies that have used the Digital Orchestrator to unlock their hidden potential.
