Quotes

  • "If the buyer can define the journey a little bit, the level of engagement goes through the roof. Knowledge fabrics are about the buyer only defining the journey." - Chris Mahl

  • "Imagine if all buyers from all points in the buyer journey could follow their path into the customer journey and the repeat customer journey. That's the difference between knowledge fabrics and digital technologies." - Chris Mahl

  • "CFOs are funding knowledge friction because the systems that are there are still predictively trying to architect the dialogue between the buyer and your brand." - Chris Mahl

  • "Let the buyer tell you what the journey is. Then let your systems of record be capitalized on through a knowledge of fabric to meet your buyers where they are in the journey. And they will respond to that." - Chris Mahl

  • "We use LLMs. What we don't do is take your content and blend it out there in the world, then bring it back to you, potentially causing hallucinations. This is all your purpose-built fabric. It's oven buying for your content." - Chris Mahl
