Enterprise Knowledge In The Immersive Age
Enterprise Knowledge In The Immersive Age
In this episode, Viswanathan K shares how enterprises struggle with knowledge transfer across generations of workers, especially in manufacturing environments where critical expertise is built over decades and rarely documented.
Drawing from his experience at Yahoo and Eaton, he explains why immersive technologies such as VR and AR are uniquely suited to capture institutional knowledge, accelerate workforce productivity, and train employees safely in complex and hazardous environments. The conversation also explores how large enterprises adopt emerging technologies, the cultural shifts required for scale, and why aligning immersive initiatives with enterprise strategy is key to long term success.
