Knowledge Atlas™ is a boutique Personal Knowledge Management consulting practice for high-performing professionals who want clarity, continuity & long-term order in their digital lives.
This work is distinct from digital vaults, estate repositories, or cloud-storage products.
Knowledge Atlas™ focuses on the living person: building a coherent internal knowledge system that reduces cognitive load, streamlines essential information, and strengthens the mental space required to navigate demanding environments with clarity and dignity.
Clients come to Knowledge Atlas™ when they want a long-term, structured personal knowledge architecture - not productivity hacks, templates, or app tutorials. The aim is simple:
a Digital Second Brain that supports calm focus, intelligent action, and a stable inner knowledge ecosystem.
David S. Bald is a Personal Knowledge Management specialist and Information Management consultant with over two decades of experience designing structured knowledge systems across government, libraries, archives, and private-sector environments.
His career includes deep work in records governance, executive administration, and digital transformation, with expertise spanning the full knowledge lifecycle - from capture and organisation to long-term preservation and structured expression.
He has trained senior executives, knowledge workers, and operational teams in systems such as OpenText Content Manager (TRIM), TechnologyOne ECM, and Microsoft 365 information environments, supported by extensive experience in medical records design, metadata architecture, and procedural clarity.
David's approach is discreet, analytical, and highly structured. His work combines rigorous information management principles, personal knowledge architecture, and pragmatic private-sector sensibilities to help high-performing professionals build Digital Second Brains that support long-term clarity, continuity, and intelligent decision-making.
His commitment is simple: to help people create personal knowledge systems that keep their minds clear, their information stable, and their life's work under control.

want productivity hacks, templates, or app tutorials
are unwilling to examine their own knowledge habits
expect fast shortcuts rather than thoughtful, long-term systems
want motivational coaching, therapy-adjacent support, or general life advice
resist structured work or avoid personal responsibility for their information ecosystem
