Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who6 adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Knowledge is a powerful resource that can be a powerful force for good. In the article by Khadir et al. (2025), the authors examine how knowledge management can be enhanced and evolved with the use of holistic approaches such as Society 5.0, wherein knowledge can provide prosperity in social and cultural spheres as well as economic prosperity for all. Knowledge management methods have stagnated and weakened due to their disconnection from the knowledge-providers, and by recentering humans, knowledge can provide a depth of benefit for all that is currently unseen. Research limitations/implications Through the use of a Society 5.0 framework, the theoretical foundations are laid for knowledge management to evolve beyond the limits of the current models within the industrial era, focusing on a holistic view of knowledge with more nuance and depth for the sake of collective greater good and economic prosperity for all, rather than on an individual or single company scale. Practical implications Organizations should create work environments that emphasize creativity, human judgment, and nuanced understandings rather than a robust, singular knowledge process. Managers should consider the role of AI as a collaborative partner to enhance human decision-making, as an addition rather than a replacement. AI systems should be designed to support human agency rather than automate it to amplify human abilities. Responsible knowledge management practices that emphasize collective good, collaboration, and ethics should be prioritized. Policymakers should implement knowledge frameworks that encourage social inclusion, equity, and the reduction of marginalization. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
