Yield Management of KnowledgeSince the dawn of life, surviving species have proven the need to be continuously adaptive. Since the dawn of computing, enterprise IT has been rigid and immutable. Kyield answered the call.How Does Kyield Enterprise Work?Kyield employs a scientific approach focused on the universal issues in every type of organization. The distributed operating system (OS) interacts with deeply structured data that continuously adapts to the needs of customer organizations and their knowledge workers. Semi-automated controls allow knowledge workers to fine-tune profile settings as needed through a simple to use natural language interface. The self-managed profiles then direct advanced analytics, digital consumption, and visual metrics towards each unique mission within regulatory and corporate parameters. Business units and partners are also provided with a module to manage profiles, missions, permissions, and relationships. The entire neural network is then governed through Kyield’s proprietary AI engine (CKO), which sets digital policy for all entities in compliance with specific regulatory requirements, governance, objectives, innovation, productivity, corporate policy, security, and audit functions.

Mr. Montgomery was formerly a business consultant who founded an early stage venture firm and pioneering lab and incubator that created and operated several ventures, including the leading small business network in the mid-1990s and a social learning network for global thought leaders that became a pioneer in social and learning networks. When not working long hours on Kyield, he can often be found hiking, cross country skiing and mountain biking in the southern Rockies, or at the Santa Fe Institute where he is a frequent visitor.Business LeadersBusiness leaders continuously analyze the changing landscape for strategic advantage. The entire team should be engaged. BanksThe financial crisis revealed systemic risk in banking and regulatory oversight, resulting in Dodd-Frank, Basel III, and record fines. Large trading losses, systemic risk, increased regulation and emergent technology have led to internal system transformation and data standards such as the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO). BiopharmaceuticalsPatent cliffs, price pressure, regulation, new technologies and personalized medicine are directly impacted by digital convergence. Record fines, falsified research, late stage drug failures, need for partnering, and corporate-wide transformation are perfectly matched needs for Kyield’s system. ManufacturersEnjoying a renaissance since the Great Recession, the challenge for many will be in sustaining lean momentum and growth as competition increases. Managing transition to the Internet of everything and achieving optimal balance between AI and humans are top priorities for two sector leaders considering Kyield. Insurance CompaniesA long history in e-commerce, structured data, risk management, and a pioneer in XML and predictive analytics, the insurance industry is now embracing semantics through ACORD, OMG, W3C, and other collaboration. Kyield is the ideal OS for corporate or independent networks in reinsurance, property, casualty, life, or health. Energy CompaniesOil and gas leaders share commonalities with pharmaceuticals with diminishing returns on investments, while smaller nimble companies achieve high growth. Similarly, both industries are strong in harvesting while slow to adopt state of the art organizational systems for crisis prevention and expediting discovery. Healthcare OrganizationsWith unsustainable fundamentals, the U.S. healthcare market faces an uncertain future. A high degree of certainty exists for continued rapid innovation, new discoveries, and transformation of models worldwide. The Kyield semantic healthcare platform is a pioneer in empowering patients and healthcare knowledge workers. RetailersAmong the most impacted by digital disruption, retail is also among the most innovative with customer analytics. Some are missing an historic opportunity to benefit from the insight of a large workforce who often recognize emerging trends from the front lines. Enterprise-wide analytics may be to future leaders what logistics was to current leaders. InvestorsNo other sector has the potential to gain both a short-term and long-term ROI from Kyield’s platform for tailored data consumption with advanced analytics. Similar to banking and healthcare, the option to extend Kyield modules to customers of investment houses provides an additional compelling business case to consider. Technology CompaniesTechnology: Electronics and software are deeply involved in technical areas related to Kyield, yet many have missed mega trends in recent years. Missed opportunity and disrupted markets are preventable. Kyield has been engaged with multiple leaders in this sector as prospective customers and partners. Public SectorMilitary & Government: The IMF has a nickname that seems particularly applicable to governments in this era: "It's mostly fiscal". The challenge for the public sector is more with removing barriers to innovation than unlocking value. The maturity of interoperable data standards with the Kyield OS is a powerful combination for military and government. IndustriesAll other industries: Whether engineering, consulting, education, publishing, transportation, hospitality, wholesale, networks, associations, or NGOs, Kyield has attracted interest. The ability to self-tailor data management with advanced analytics to highly specific needs at the granular individual entity level is fundamental to all organizations. Dynamic Neural Network -- Inspired by Nature. Managed by Humans. Assisted by Artificial Intelligence._dc9701d2-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a530574To enable continuous adaption of enterprise IT_dc9701d3-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a530574KnowledgeInteroperabilityValue and Compliance in Era of Digital Convergence -- Interoperability in neural networks is enabling rapid convergence of functionality and consolidation of legacy product value in both consumer and enterprise markets. Industry lines are becoming blurred and acronyms in enterprise IT are becoming obsolete. Not only are record human-caused crises and big bang disruptions becoming common, so too are record crises, fines, lawsuits and complex regulations. It is not by accident that technical standards in technology, energy, healthcare, banking, insurance and the Web are well matched for Kyield’s architecture. Kyield’s founder has collaborated with researchers and standards bodies for nearly two decades on improving interoperability, sustainable economics, and security in the network environment. Kyield’s breakthrough system design for managing data analytics vastly reduces the cost of future integration, consolidates select legacy product value across several industry acronyms, and provides entirely new value through the proprietary CKO Engine. Human-Caused CrisesPrevent Human-Caused Crises_dc9701d4-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a5305741Examples of destructive systemic crises enabled by digital silos that could have been either prevented or mitigated include 9/11 and the financial crisis, which combined are estimated to have cost over $10 trillion before loss of life and human suffering. Large preventable corporate events include the BP Gulf oil spill, JPMC whale trade, and Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster, with recent focus on falsified data in pharmaceutical R&D. Smaller more consistent preventable events include malintent, insider fraud, chemical spills, product defects, and mislabeling, with cover-ups that cause significant distractions to operations, large lawsuits, regulatory investigations, fines, reputation damage, downgrades, equity devaluations, and management changes. Nearly two decades of research supports Kyield's expectation that over 90% of human-caused crises can be prevented with a full Kyield system install. _dc9701d5-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a530574Human Discoveries Expedite Human Discoveries _dc9701d6-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a5305742In addition to the critical traditional need to remain competitive with fresh, relevant products and services, disruptions are in process or threatening to redefine, transform, or displace entire industries. Companies that are highly dependent upon IC and IP must maintain a strong pipeline in order to thrive in the future, if not survive. Among the most compelling reasons for Kyield’s patented holistic system architecture is that risk management is increasingly inseparable from continuous innovation for knowledge intensive industries. The same deeply structured data Kyield analyzes for risk management and crisis prevention is processed with different algorithms for innovation and discoveries. The continually adaptive nature of Kyield with knowledge currency tailored to each entity is carefully crafted to encourage innovation, while analytics programs are constantly seeking to expedite and uncover discoveries. _dc9701d7-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a530574Digital Workplace OptimizationOptimizing the digital workplace environment while meeting or exceeding regulatory compliance._dc9701d8-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a5305743Kyield provides the ideal OS for optimizing the digital workplace environment while meeting or exceeding regulatory compliance. CKO EngineEmpower organizations to manage information tailored to the specific needs of each entity within corporate and regulatory parameters._dc9701d9-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a5305743.1The CKO Engine is the most complex component of the Kyield design, providing yield management for the entire distributed organization.

Knowledge Optimization[Enable] knowledge workers to optimize knowledge yield for their specific needs._dc9701db-b853-11e3-a6a5-59892a5305743.3Knowledge WorkersWhether observing risk management and crisis prevention, cost containment, innovation, discovery, or growth opportunities, a consistent stream of evidence reconfirms the criticality of attracting, training, and retaining competitive individual knowledge workers. Intellectual capital is the fastest growing asset class in the world, reflected in the value creation sourced from individuals and small teams reaching into billions USD regularly, with compensation packages for specialized software engineers, gamers, traders, and investors well into the millions USD. In crisis prevention, multi-billion dollar events caused by individuals and small teams now number in the dozens. A few cases have reached the tens of billions USD in multiple sectors. More challenging for many companies are changing motivations and models that exploit ideological activism containing significant economic consequences that can disrupt or displace industries. The trends in IC clearly confirm the need to attract and retain the best and brightest knowledge workers, including offering systems that realize the potential in IC investments as well as prevent crises and mitigate loss of IC, IP, talent, and trade secrets. Kyield’s individual modules interact with group modules and the CKO engine to tailor streaming content and search queries according to the adaptive profile of each. Individuals can set the quality and quantity of personal information flow depending on project needs and time constraints with three clicks of the mouse. The system design supports the needs of each individual, team, business unit and organization. Kyield is transparent, intelligent, adaptive, and simple to use. Competitive OrganizationsPartnersPartners and Ecosystems -- The neural network economy now represents half of the global economy, which relies on sharing data to create, find, describe, and transact most types of products, services and value. Regardless of size and type of organization, external knowledge, expertise, assets, and relationships are typically required to conduct business and trade. Top-tier knowledge-based companies are therefore realizing that they need to become the partner of choice in order to thrive, particularly during this era of digital convergence and transformation. Choice in partnering varies depending on a number of factors, including motivation, culture, quality, risk, strategic match, and terms. Trust is often cited as the most important factor in partnering, which depends substantially on the integrity of systems deployed to execute tasks and manage relationships. While collaboration capabilities have improved in the network era, commoditized off-the-shelf software programs lack differentiation or the analytical depth needed to remain competitive. In addition, networks are insecure and data typically contains insufficient structure for efficiency levels needed to achieve optimal yield. Since traditional software applications fall well short of providing the architecture required for effectively managing multi-organization neural networks, an entirely new holistic architecture specifically designed for the task was necessary. Sufficient intelligence must be extracted from deeply structured data embedded in and across the workflow, providing a semantic layer that can then be analyzed for risk, opportunity and improving quality and productivity. Critically important is the ability provided by Kyield for partners in the ecosystem to quickly adapt to changing needs with their natural language. In order to establish and maintain trust, all partners are empowered to verify the integrity of data in a transparent manner. Kyield can provide an additional layer of data-centric security with proprietary methodology for qualifying and quantifying counter party risk. The duration of Kyield's initial R&D was long-term, due in part to innovations necessary in underlying hardware and software technology to enable sufficient scalability, and in part due to maturation of industry data standards for interoperability.Knowledge-Based CompaniesThe Individual Module is critical for competitive organizations. Most value in IC, IP, innovation, risk, and opportunity can be sourced to specific individuals. The output of the organization is increasingly dependent upon the ability of individual knowledge workers to optimize knowledge yield for their specific needs in the digital work environment. * Tailored streaming content, queries & returns. * Visual performance metrics. * Productivity management. * Automated and semi-automated controls.2014-03-30http://kyield.com/images/Kyield_Brochure.pdfOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
