Episode 024: Managing Knowledge & Data for Continuous Improvement

What is knowledge management? And why is it important for growing a design studio?

In this episode, we interview Christopher Parsons, the Founder and CEO of architecture.com/">Knowledge Architecture to learn more about knowledge management. 

Knowledge Architecture builds software, community, and best practices to help architecture and engineering firms find, share, and manage knowledge.

Their software platform is Synthesis, a social intranet which integrates with Deltek, Newforma, and OpenAsset. They also run an annual knowledge management conference for the AEC industry called KA Connect, as well as a client community of practice for Synthesis intranet teams called KA Advance.

Founded in 2009 and serving over 100 AEC clients, Knowledge Architecture is privately-held, employee-owned, and passionate about co-creating and sharing best practices to advance the state of knowledge management in the AEC industry.
