Lucidea’s Lens: Knowledge Management Thought Leaders Part 97 – Art Murray

Stan Garfield
Art Murray is the CEO of his own consultancy, Applied Knowledge Sciences, and Chief Fellow of the Enterprise of the Future Program of the International Institute for Knowledge and Innovation. He is an author, speaker, workshop leader, and mentor in knowledge management and the enterprise of the future.
Art is the author of the KMWorld Magazine column “The Future of the Future.” His specialties include transforming traditional organizations into knowledge-sharing enterprises, human deep learning, building and curating e-bodies of knowledge, and organizational knowledge governance. Art focuses on building and curating digital bodies of knowledge, and human and machine knowledge integration and governance.
Here are definitions for five of Art’s specialties:
- Curating: Collecting, selecting, and assembling existing information to make it more useful. This includes better organizing it, making it more findable, and making it easier to use.
- Digital Transformation: The cultural, organizational, and operational change of an organization, industry or ecosystem through a smart integration of digital technologies, processes, and competencies across all levels and functions in a staged and strategic way.
- Enterprise of the Future: A self-organizing, adaptive, learning network of knowledge workers, aimed at mutually achieving individual and organizational goals built four foundational pillars – leadership, organization, learning, and technology.
- Future of Work: An informed perspective on what businesses and other organizations need to know about how work could shift (given digitization and other trends), plus how workforces and workplaces can prepare for those changes, big and small.
- Knowledge Governance: The means by which the rules, norms, policies, guidelines, and actions for managing an organization’s critical knowledge are defined, applied, reconciled, and enforced.
Art created the following content. I have curated it to represent his contributions to the field.
