This is all baloney. There is noone organising the information and documents in "modern" companies. There is just a rolling reset of knowledge with an average lifetime of about three years.

> Having physical pieces of paper as a fungible business tool is still something used by a lot of firms but they are simply behind the times,

They are not behind their times. They are using a system that actually works.

I wish we could just return to the basics for knowledge management. Have bibliographic databases and enforce proper referencing. Have a numbering system to locate things and a standardised classification system. And employ actual people to manage it.
