Knoco International exists to help organizations make better use of their collective knowledge. In many organizations, critical knowledge is scattered across people, systems, documents, teams, projects, and business units. This creates duplication, slows decision-making, increases risk, and makes it harder for organizations to scale learning.
Our work focuses on helping organizations create practical Knowledge Management capability. This includes assessing current KM maturity, designing KM strategies, improving knowledge flow, retaining critical expertise, strengthening lessons learned systems, and preparing organizational knowledge for responsible AI use.
Knoco International combines global consulting experience, practical methods, and a network of Knowledge Management professionals who understand the realities of complex organizations.
Knoco’s roots go back to the early development of Knowledge Management as a practical business discipline. Founded in 1999 by Nick Milton and Tom Young, Knoco built on their experience in BP’s pioneering Knowledge Management work and helped shape how organizations understand, design, and implement Knowledge Management in ways that create measurable value.
Over more than two decades, the Knoco name earned a global reputation for practical Knowledge Management consulting, training, methodologies, publications, and affiliate-based delivery. This experience covers the full KM lifecycle, from strategy and framework design to implementation, capability development, and the embedding of sustainable practices.
Knoco has supported organizations across a wide range of industries, including energy, government, defense, manufacturing, engineering, health care, telecommunications, professional services, mining, broadcasting, brewing, oil and gas, nuclear energy, fast-moving consumer goods, the public sector, and pharmaceuticals. This work has included Knowledge Management assessments, KM strategy development, lessons learned systems, community of practice support, knowledge retention, practical KM implementation, and advisory support for complex knowledge-intensive organizations.
In 2026, Knoco’s legacy, brand, and core intellectual property were structured to transfer from Knoco Ltd in the United Kingdom to Knoco International in the United States. This transition preserved the historic contribution of Knoco Ltd while enabling continued growth, broader global operations, and stronger integration of Knowledge Management, standards, and AI-related services under new leadership.
Today, Knoco International continues that legacy through a global network of trusted affiliates and expert practitioners. Our work remains grounded in proven methods and real-world experience while expanding to meet today’s organizational challenges, including AI readiness, digital transformation, organizational resilience, and the need for faster, better-informed decisions.
Whether you are looking for Knowledge Management consulting, training, assessment, ISO 30401 alignment, lessons learned support, or affiliate opportunities, Knoco International is positioned to help organizations turn knowledge into practical advantage.
