The upcoming publications by CEO Asha Aziza Peterson introduce the concept of Knowledge Debt, a liability that emerges when critical information remains ungoverned, unpreserved, or inaccessible. According to Peterson, many firms prioritize technology investments while neglecting the foundational knowledge structures required to support them. This oversight often results in repeated work, workforce disruption, and increased operational risk as organizations struggle to integrate disparate data, processes, and artificial intelligence initiatives.

Peterson defines Enterprise Intelligence as a strategic capability that moves beyond traditional knowledge management by treating culture, governance, and technology as a single, interconnected ecosystem. The KnowledgeRoots framework provides a methodology to measure this maturity, aiming to help leaders transition from merely collecting information to driving informed, resilient decision-making. As AI adoption accelerates, the author argues that the ability to transform trusted knowledge into action will become a primary competitive advantage for modern enterprises.
