Lila Rajabion provides four examples of how KGs can help leaders advance their understanding of the business environment in which their company sits. These include merging data silos to create a company overview across divisions, connecting different types of data in meaningful ways, aiding informed decision making by narrowing searches and contextualizing information, and showing interconnections that help leaders gain perspective. Next, she dives into how Google, LinkedIn, eBay, and IBM are using KGs and explains how other companies could follow suit. She then addresses four challenges currently faced by companies looking to leverage KGs, followed by a look at specific business efficiencies enabled by KGs, including making data more accessible for employees, helping leaders make data-driven decisions, and assisting companies in deploying AI technology.
