Okay... that link to the Knowledge Footprint blog post gave me serious flashbacks. I didn't think I could post to my blogger account any more, and yet here we are. Go figure.
BUT...
It's a little funny you mention knowledge management. 2023 seems to be the year that KM started making a comeback. I seriously thought it was dead. But then AI appeared in it's new fancy clothes, and asked KM to get dressed up and go to the ball.
You and I spent a great portion of our early careers building personal KM systems with RSS, feedreaders, blogs, etc. However, with AI in the mix, I don't think other systems are necessary. As long as all the work being done is consumable by LLMs, or other AI engines, all we need is the interface to ask the right questions.
I think you're right about KM for exactly the same reason L&D is on the edge of being much more interesting than ever...w/ the Cambrian Explosion of AI and AI-enabled tools and their ability to automate lots of the activities that we used to have to do manually, KM has the same chance that L&D does which is to move away from those activities and into higher value ones.
