Governance<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Corporate knowledge is not a stable phenomenon but is updated daily. For this reason, it is essential to foresee methods and mechanisms for maintaining it <\/strong>over time. Therefore, it is important to ensure the commitment of top management <\/strong>for the correct adoption of the new model and that all those called to contribute to the codification or dissemination of knowledge are provided with roles, policies, and rules <\/strong>to follow to standardize the processes of content creation and fruition. Defining formats, classification and archiving methods, and specific roles is fundamental to providing a common framework within which to operate.

Culture<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For knowledge <\/strong>to be useful, it must be complete, accurate, and accessible<\/strong> (also in terms of language and comprehensibility); therefore, to overcome complexities and anticipate the organization’s informational needs, it is important that knowledge management processes follow a philosophy of collaboration and sharing <\/strong>in the work environment. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a coherent mindset <\/strong>that materializes in observable and implementable behaviors <\/strong>capable of supporting a culture increasingly oriented towards creating an open and continuous learning <\/strong>and collaboration environment.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732013252998{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n
Technology<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Managing high volumes of documents requires dedicated platforms <\/strong>that allow their searchability and consultation<\/strong>.

Even non-codified knowledge needs dedicated spaces to be conveyed <\/strong>through social collaboration practices and thematic communities<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership with Syllotips: AI-powered Knowledge Management<\/span><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Among the innovative technologies, OpenKnowledge has identified Syllotips<\/strong>, with which it has initiated a strategic partnership<\/strong>.

SylloTips has been chosen to participate in the Techstars 2024 acceleration program.<\/span><\/p>\n

We interviewed the CEO and co-founder of SylloTips, Giorgio Barnab\u00f2, to investigate new trends and best practices on the topic.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732013313051{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

What is Syllotips and how did it come about?<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Syllotips was born from an intuition during university years: often the knowledge <\/strong>acquired by members of a large organization is not shared<\/strong> due to reluctance to accurately codify their knowledge.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”20px” responsive_mobile=”true” size_mobile=”60px”][vc_column_text]Over the years, some fundamental experiences followed: a research project in Paris on tacit knowledge, where we explored the design of a search engine for identifying competent subjects on certain topics, and a Ph.D. on artificial intelligence as a vehicle for capturing undocumented knowledge.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”20px” responsive_mobile=”true” size_mobile=”60px”][vc_column_text]After various attempts and much customer discovery, with my partners Leonardo Martini, Simone Silvestri, and Tullio Persiani, we conceived a company-friendly system<\/strong> that allows business support functions (e.g., IT, HR, Communication, …) to have a knowledge base available, consultable conversationally but adding the “human in the loop<\/strong>“: when the chatbot fails to answer the question, the system directly contacts competent people<\/strong> who, by responding, contribute to codifying tacit knowledge and feeding the knowledge base.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732013390166{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n
How does AI enable a new way of generating and managing knowledge?<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Generative AI enables a new way of managing knowledge<\/strong> because it introduces an innovative paradigm<\/strong>: moving from intelligent document search to conversational answer search<\/strong>. This is a major transformation because it involves a huge advantage in not having to sift through sources and documentation, but it also involves new risks<\/strong> to be aware of: the system’s discretion in selecting the source can lead to partiality of the available answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, artificial intelligence makes multilingual systems available, opening the doors to more equitable knowledge distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The great challenge for Syllotips is to create an AI system that, in the absence of necessary information to respond to the user, is aware and therefore contacts process experts <\/strong>to integrate the missing knowledge.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732013501156{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

What are the needs and challenges that emerge in managing new Knowledge Management tools and processes?<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The introduction of such innovations requires substantial support for digital adoption and understanding both the potential and the limitations of this tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a strong demand from users for training and supporting documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, we are registering the need from users to have a private space where they can collect their information and work on identified knowledge gaps.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1732013538992{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

What is Syllotips’ competitive advantage?<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Working with a startup created by founders with technical expertise means having access to discoveries and innovations <\/strong>from the research world. On technologies like artificial intelligence, which transform rapidly, this allows for strong flexibility and speed in developing <\/strong>new features.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, integration with Microsoft Teams allows for better user experience and quicker access to the tool.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”20px” responsive_mobile=”true” size_mobile=”60px”][vc_column_text]Finally, the partnership with BIP-OpenKnowledge <\/strong>has allowed us to integrate, beyond the technological element, expertise on change management topics<\/strong>: a successful technological project cannot overlook the cultural and adoption component.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”40px” responsive_mobile=”true” size_mobile=”60px”][vc_column_text]In a period of intense research into the operational application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, Syllotips represents a best practice in the process of innovation, integration, and standardization <\/strong>of Knowledge Management. The projects carried out in partnership with BIP-OpenKnowledge provide insights and reflections for those who see the need to embark on this type of path and make their know-how a competitive asset<\/strong>, synergistically between technological and cultural dimensions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1642168135550{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1668434008290{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n
