Episode Overview
Knowledge management is often overlooked — or worse, misunderstood. Many companies think a SharePoint folder or Google Docs library is enough. In reality, these “digital landfills” slow down agents, frustrate customers, and hurt retention.

In this episode, Darren speaks with Martin Hobratschk about the state of knowledge management and how it’s evolving with AI. They cover the real symptoms of broken systems, the business value of doing KM right, and practical steps leaders can take to evaluate, select, and optimize a true knowledge management system.
