    Episode 12: Strengths, Knowledge, and Getting Things Done with Tieska Jumbo

    What happens when you combine knowledge management with CliftonStrengths? In this episode, Brittany and Rachel sit down with Tieska Jumbo, a knowledge management strategist whose journey from education to KM has shaped her people-first approach to helping organizations learn, share knowledge, and get results. Together, they explore how strengths influence collaboration, knowledge sharing, and execution. Tieska challenges traditional KM thinking by highlighting the critical role of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and human connection in successful knowledge management. The conversation dives into themes like responsibility, consistency, woo, and individualization, while exploring how strengths—and their blind spots—show up in both work and life. Along the way, they discuss what it means to build truly human-centered knowledge management practices and how understanding people can lead to better outcomes. Tieska Jumbo is a knowledge management strategist and CliftonStrengths facilitator who helps organizations move from misalignment to execution. She works with teams to structure information, clarify priorities, and build systems that ensure decisions don’t get lost and work actually gets done. With over fifteen years of experience in fintech and global organizations, she brings a practical, systems-driven and strengths-based approach to turning strategy into progress.

    Episode 8: Beyond the Checkbox - What KM Actually Looks Like with Amy Carlton

    In this episode, Brittany and Rachel talk with Amy Carlton about her “accidental” path into knowledge management and what the work really looks like inside Novartis. From calling out the checkbox culture of “lessons learned” to redefining what KM actually means in practice, this conversation gets real about the discipline. We also dig into storytelling as a driver for buy-in, the influence of teaching on how we share knowledge, and why people—not tools—are at the center of it all.

    Episode 7: From Mangroves to KM - Why People Still Matter Most with Jana Thuaud

    Jana Thuaud didn’t set out to work in knowledge management. She found her way there through environmental science, development work, and years of documenting what actually happens on the ground. In this episode, she shares what that journey taught her about KM in the real world. Not the polished version, the human one. Brittany and Rachel dig into why organizations are still defaulting to websites, repositories, and webinars in 2026. The honest answer? They’re easy to measure, easy to fund, and easy to explain. They also get into: The gap between knowledge products and actual knowledge flowWhy KM still gets treated like information managementThe role of culture, context, and access in global workWhat it really takes to build trust and connection across teams The throughline is simple. KM doesn’t move because of tools. It moves because people decide it matters. A grounded conversation that cuts through the noise and brings KM back to what it’s always been about: people, relationships, and making the work actually work.

    Episode 5: Imagining Forward — Foresight, Story, & the Future of KM with Dr. Matt Finch

    Brittany and Rachel sit down with Dr. Matt Finch to explore what the future has to do with knowledge management and why it matters more than we often give it credit for. With a background that spans strategy, foresight, and information science, Matt brings a fresh perspective on how KM practitioners can think beyond the present. They dig into scenario planning, storytelling as a strategic tool, and why getting comfortable with uncertainty might be one of the most practical skills in today’s work. The conversation also touches on learning through play, engaging audiences who do not think they care about KM yet, and making foresight feel more human and accessible. Plus, Brittany and Rachel share a behind-the-scenes look at Empower KM, what they set out to build, what they learned, and why it continues to feel like community disguised as a conference. If you are thinking about what comes next and how KM can help you get there, this episode is for you.
