Knoco International and Knowledge Associates International Announce Strategic Global Collaboration
Cambridge, United Kingdom / Texas, United States | 15 April 2026
Knoco International and Knowledge Associates International have announced a strategic global collaboration focused on knowledge and AI transformation. The organizations will help clients strengthen how knowledge is created, shared, governed and applied as Artificial Intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in organizational work.
Why knowledge and AI transformation must work together
Organizations across industries are accelerating their use of AI. At the same time, many still struggle to capture, structure and reuse knowledge from experience. Valuable expertise can remain fragmented across teams, systems and organizational boundaries.
The collaboration brings together two established Knowledge Management organizations to address that gap. Both organizations share the view that Knowledge Management, innovation and AI should be treated as connected strategic capabilities rather than separate initiatives.
“Artificial Intelligence models are most effective together with effective knowledge management,” said Ron Young, CEO of Knowledge Associates International. “Organizations that invest in quality knowledge assets and governance will be the ones that realize the full value of AI. This collaboration allows us to combine thought leadership and decades of practical experience with globally recognized principles, systems and standards.”
Cory Cannon, President and CEO of Knoco International, added, “For many years, organizations have struggled to manage knowledge as a strategic asset. With the emergence of AI, this challenge has become even more urgent. By working together with Knowledge Associates International, we are providing organizations with a comprehensive approach that aligns knowledge, innovation, and AI with international regulations and standards.”
What the collaboration will support
Knoco International and Knowledge Associates International will help clients improve learning from experience, strengthen knowledge retention, advance Communities of Practice, support innovation and improve governance.

Alignment with international standards
The collaboration will also support approaches aligned with international standards, including ISO 30401 for Knowledge Management, ISO 56001 for Innovation Management and ISO 42001 for Artificial Intelligence.
When these capabilities are integrated effectively, organizations can create more systematic knowledge, improve decisions, strengthen resilience and accelerate innovation. They can also build a more reliable foundation for responsible AI adoption.
