Show Notes

In an AI enabled world where knowledge is everywhere, what does it really mean to manage knowledge in an organisation?

In this episode host Michelle Parry-Slater speaks with Kim Sherwin, Director of Knowledge at Aurecon, about how Kim, a trained librarian and knowledge manager, discovered that her passion for curiosity, critical thinking and connecting dots across people is exactly what the AI age most urgently needs. Sharing why we should surface and share knowledge rather than manage it, Kim works at the heart of what it means to be a human in the loop.

Together Kim and Michelle explore the line between knowledge and learning, the danger of AI slop feeding organisational systems, and Kim explains why generosity and sharing are better foundations for a knowledge culture than structure and governance.
