    S2 Ep3 - What KM + HCM Collaboration Can Look Like in Practice

    This is Episode 2 of a 2 part series. What happens when knowledge management and human capital management stop working in parallel and start working together? In this episode, Brittany and Rachel are joined by Liz McLean, bringing the KM perspective, and Elissa Tucker, Lead HCM Researcher at APQC, to explore why the future of work depends on stronger collaboration between these two disciplines. They dig into everything from data governance and workforce planning to AI-driven upskilling, knowledge sharing, and the challenges of getting different teams to speak the same language. The conversation highlights why reframing KM around business outcomes—not just knowledge—is key to building stronger partnerships across organizations. Liz and Elissa also discuss taking a more human-centered approach to learning and development by recognizing employees' unique strengths, embracing diverse perspectives, and creating environments where people can learn from one another, not just from technology. Whether you're in KM, HR, learning and development, or simply trying to prepare your organization for what's next, this episode offers practical insights into breaking down silos, building collaborative cultures, and keeping people at the center of every strategy.

    S2 Ep2 - AI, Workforce Skill Gaps, and Why This Isn't a KM-Only Conversation

    This is Episode 1 of a 2 part series. AI is changing the way we work, but it isn't going to solve your organization's skills gap on its own. In this episode, we're joined by Liz McLean, Strategic AI+KM Roadmap Advisor at Knosaic, who brings the knowledge management perspective, and Elissa Tucker, Lead Human Capital Management Researcher at APQC, who shares the HCM perspective. Together, they explore why KM and HR need to be working together—not in separate lanes. We talk about upskilling, reskilling, internal mobility, and what it really takes to help people move into new roles without losing critical knowledge along the way. We also explore why onboarding is really a knowledge transfer challenge, how remote and hybrid work have changed the way we share what we know, and why building a culture of learning requires more than just good intentions. If you've ever wondered where KM fits into workforce planning, talent development, or AI strategy, this conversation connects the dots.
