Bloomfire Featured in Harvard Business Review: The Hidden Costs of Knowledge Mismanagement

Harvard Business Review features Bloomfire in a new article examining how mismanaged knowledge is quietly costing companies millions each year, and what businesses can do to reverse the trend.

Drawing insights from Bloomfire’s Value of Enterprise Intelligence 2025 report, the article quantifies the steep financial and operational impacts of treating knowledge as an afterthought rather than a core business asset. It also shows how Enterprise Intelligence transforms knowledge into a dynamic, revenue-driving force that fuels growth, innovation, and efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

• The High Cost of Inefficiency: Inefficient knowledge management can drain up to 25% of a company’s annual revenue, equivalent to billions in lost enterprise value for large organizations.
• Siloed Knowledge Creates Friction: Disconnected systems slow collaboration by up to 30%, waste employee time, and fuel redundant work and decision-making mistakes.
• Enterprise Intelligence as a Game-Changer: Companies embracing Enterprise Intelligence can increase workforce engagement, productivity, and innovation, recovering lost revenue and gaining a major competitive advantage.
• From Passive Storage to Active Intelligence: Enterprise Intelligence moves beyond traditional knowledge management and enterprise search by surfacing insights automatically, correcting outdated information, and driving better decision-making through AI-powered orchestration.

Learn how shifting from siloed knowledge management to Enterprise Intelligence can unlock measurable productivity, collaboration, and revenue gains.
