KnowledgeRoots Media Center launches with two new shows on AI and business performance

Asha Peterson has launched KnowledgeRoots Media Center, an editorial platform set to debut two shows on Sept. 29, 2026: Deeply Rooted with Asha Peterson and Root Cause Business. The initiative targets how organizations manage knowledge, use AI and fix operational problems in the AI-enabled enterprise.

Why it matters: - KnowledgeRoots Media Center is aimed at the growing overlap between knowledge management, AI readiness and enterprise performance. - The platform is built to help leaders examine why organizations fail to turn knowledge, systems and decisions into better outcomes. - Collaborative Shared Technologies is positioning the Media Center as a broader editorial ecosystem, not just a podcast launch.

What happened: - Asha Peterson, founder and CEO of Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC, announced the launch of KnowledgeRoots Media Center on Sept. 14, 2026. - The first two properties, Deeply Rooted with Asha Peterson and Root Cause Business, will premiere Sept. 29, 2026. - The launch took place in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

The details: - KnowledgeRoots Media Center is described as an editorial platform focused on how organizations think, operate and grow in an AI-enabled world. - The guiding tagline is “Where Knowledge Becomes Enterprise Intelligence™.” - Deeply Rooted with Asha Peterson will focus on Knowledge Management, Enterprise Intelligence™, Knowledge Debt™, AI readiness, information governance and organizational transformation. - Deeply Rooted is aimed at knowledge management leaders, enterprise architects, AI strategists, transformation executives, consultants, researchers and decision-makers. - Root Cause Business will focus on business operations, government and corporate contracting, money and growth, technology and AI, leadership, people and executive decision-making. - Root Cause Business is built around the idea that leaders should examine what is happening, what it costs, what is driving it, what should change and what can realistically be done next. - Each conversation follows The KnowledgeRoot Chain™: SYMPTOM → IMPACT → ROOT CAUSE → EXECUTIVE PERSPECTIVE → THE FIX → NEXT MOVE. - Episode 001 of Root Cause Business is titled “Why Businesses Keep Fixing Symptoms Instead of Root Causes.” - The launch series for Root Cause Business will include 12 episodes. - Future episodes will examine business operations, contracting, money and growth, technology and AI, leadership, organizational knowledge and executive decision-making. - Bryant Brown, chief operating officer of Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC, will contribute a recurring executive and operational perspective to select Root Cause Business conversations. - Future KnowledgeRoots programming is expected to expand into video, livestreams, webinars, executive roundtables, published reports, speaking engagements, workshops and other media formats. - The company’s websites are the federal and government site and the international and commercial site.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a strategy to frame AI adoption as an organizational and governance problem, not only a technology issue. - Peterson is using the platform to connect intellectual analysis of knowledge systems with practical discussions of execution, incentives and business pain points. - The two-show structure gives the brand both a thought-leadership lane and an operator-focused lane.

What's next: - Root Cause Business will begin with its 12-episode launch run and continue expanding into related business and leadership topics. - KnowledgeRoots Media Center plans to add more formats and programming over time. - Both shows are set to start on Sept. 29, 2026.

The bottom line: - KnowledgeRoots Media Center is entering the market as a dual-platform effort to help leaders better understand knowledge, AI and why business problems persist.
