Fave Five Podcast 25 - Marc Solomon

Marc and I have been connected for many years through the SIKM Leaders Community and the SIKM Boston local chapter. We met up at KMWorld 2025 in Washington, DC in November and had some interesting conversations. We share an interest in baseball history.Marc describes himself as a consummate designer of human/AI alignments to deliver standards-based ESG reporting solutions. For Generative AI Modeling, he focuses on the importance of selectivity in determining business outcomes, the collaboration model between AI and human inputs, and the need for accuracy in spotting and correcting default programming biases. His specialties are prompt engineering; data normalization; entity extraction; competitive benchmarking; knowledge management; business analysis; taxonomy and metadata capture; competitive intelligence; enterprise search; content management; training and development; professional investigations; and curriculum design.Recorded December 11, 2025.Links for this episode:* Hampshire College Closure and Marc’s letter to the editor* Michael Pollan and Tracy Pollan* A Stranger Among Us (the movie Marc mentioned with Tracy Pollan)* Friendly Persuasion (the movie Marc mentioned with Gary Cooper)* NHL teams that have overcome 3–0 series deficits (The 1975 Islanders were the second team ever to do it; the 1942 Maple Leafs were the first.)* Hayley Reardon* LinkedIn* Searching Out Loud Blog* KMWorld* SIKM Leaders Community Presentation: Content Supply?
