Top Knowledge Management Trends – 2026

Since 2019, I’ve been authoring an annual KM Trends article. This article tends to be one of the most important and challenging that Enterprise Knowledge produces each year, and rightly should be listed as a coauthorship with many of my colleagues, since I seek a broad array of their inputs and expertise in writing it. As the leading global KM consultancy, EK possesses an unmatched vantage point from which we may understand the current state and future direction of Knowledge Management (KM) and related industries, taking in the “big picture” cutting across the fields of KM as well as artificial intelligence (AI), data management, content management, enterprise security, and more.  To identify the top KM trends, I consolidate various inputs each year. Along with my colleagues, I analyze client priorities, concerns, and roadmaps through interviews.
