Aim/Purpose This year marks the 75th anniversary of an article titled ‘As we may think’. It envisioned the ‘Memex’ as a personal device affording the productive use of the accumulated human knowledge. It also allowed for the integration of own augmentations able to be effectively shared with the ‘Memexes’ of others. This article follows up on Vannevar Bush’s still unfulfilled aspiration as well as on current unsustainable Knowledge Management states. What would be today’s impact and gestalt of such a digital innovation, and how can it be implemented to serve the wellbeing of humanity? To answer these questions, we are drafting a Vision for a ‘Memex’-inspired novel decentralized Knowledge Management System. Its aim is to strengthen the capabilities and autonomy of individual knowledge workers to become collaborative contributors to and beneficiaries of institutional and societal performances. Insights or Findings The vision elements are rooted in an advanced-stage design science research project and its conceptualization and prototyping of a novel decentralized knowledge management system. The new perspective taken accounts for notions of entropy, generativity, trans-disciplinarity, and sustainability and aims for a digital platform ecosystem which affords clients with highly diverse skills and ambitions to gainfully utilize its resources and generative potential in their personal and local contexts. Recommendations With its focus on a sustainable development path to benefit knowledge workers, the back-casting vision methodology applied demonstrates its potential to share the envisaged knowledge management prospects with a wider critical mass of stakeholders as a prerequisite for creating the respective decentralized, more generative knowledge management reality.
