Architecting a Modern Knowledge Base
Knowledge bases are often introduced as foundational assets, yet over time many organizations experience declining trust, fragmented content, and low reuse. This session examines why these patterns persist and what it takes to design knowledge bases that support institutional memory rather than simply storing information.
Why This Conversation Matters
As organizations scale, merge, and adopt AI-enabled systems, the role of knowledge bases shifts from reference tools to decision infrastructure. Architectural choices made early on have long-term consequences for usability, governance, and organizational learning.
This session moves beyond platform features to examine the deeper structural and contextual factors that determine whether a knowledge base becomes a trusted organizational asset or an ignored repository.
What the Discussion Will Explore
- The difference between information storage and institutional memory
- Why taxonomy, ownership, and context matter more than tools
- Common architectural mistakes that undermine long-term trust
- The role of governance in sustaining knowledge quality
- How AI changes expectations of knowledge accessibility and reliability
