Several participants pointed to ways that technology will enable leaner, smarter, and more in-the-flow KM in the future. John Bordeaux, associate partner in social knowledge management at IBM Global Business Services, thinks that augmented cognition—human cognition augmented by computers and smart technology—“will accelerate as a trend affecting the KM profession over the next three years” and will continue to change how people and organizations incorporate technology into the decision-making process. Bordeaux says, “Machine learning and computational linguistics will advance our ability to make sense of the cacophonous streams of information that have become our aquarium water.” [Note: Nearly half the participants in APQC’s 2015 KM Priorities survey agree that machine learning will be a big deal for KM, as this chart shows.]
