Escape the AI Graveyard: Why Most Bots Fail & How to Build AI That Actually Resolves
Q: What is the core reason many AI pilots fail in contact centers?
The core issue is that many deployments are built to respond rather than to resolve, and they lack internal readiness, especially around IT sign-off and legal policies, which stalls deployment even at the pilot stage.
Future of Knowledge Management | Martin Hobratschk
Q: Is there a practical checklist or resources you've created to help companies get ready for adopting KM?
Yes, the MVPKB framework and toolkit, plus a practical guidebook and an assessment checklist, help organizations prepare for KM adoption, covering use cases, workflows, roles, content guidelines, and implementation steps; these resources are available on the speaker's website.
Future of Knowledge Management | Martin Hobratschk
Q: How should a company go about finding the right knowledge management system and what are the key components to look for?
Start with a project-management 101 approach: assess the current ecosystem, define use cases and KPIs, determine requirements, and decide between a purpose-built KM or integrations with existing systems. Key components include content workflows, governance, integrations, analytics, and a plan to measure improvements in metrics like AHT and first contact resolution.
