## Dr. Anthony Q. Bowen, DBA, PME, CIPM, MPM, MPA, CTC Dr. Anthony Q. Bowen is an adjunct faculty member in the Colangelo College of Business at Grand Canyon University, where he teaches graduate-level Marketing Management. He is an experienced graduate educator, C-suite executive, published researcher, author, and AI strategist with more than 25 years of leadership experience across Fortune 1000 organizations, global consulting firms, and academic institutions. Before joining Grand Canyon University, Dr. Bowen served as an Associate Professor of Marketing in the Jack Welch Management Institute Executive MBA program. He also taught Project Management and Marketing in the Master of Business Administration program at Southern New Hampshire University. These appointments reflect his extensive experience teaching graduate business students and developing curricula that integrate academic theory, executive decision-making, applied research, and contemporary industry practice. Dr. Bowen’s teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that graduate business education must connect scholarship with the realities leaders face inside organizations. He brings direct experience as a Head of AI, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Digital Officer, marketing executive, and enterprise consultant into the classroom. His students benefit from practical perspectives on strategy, marketing, innovation, organizational leadership, project execution, technology transformation, regulatory compliance, and measurable business performance. Dr. Bowen is the founder and creator of the Knowledge Structuring Model (KSM™), a research-based socio-technical framework for AI-mediated visibility and citation authority. KSM™ evaluates whether artificial intelligence systems can extract an organization’s knowledge, recognize the correct entity, and find sufficient independent evidence to trust and cite it. The framework was introduced in his 2026 paper, *The Knowledge Structuring Model (KSM™): A Socio-Technical Framework for AI-Mediated Visibility and Citation Authority*, available through SSRN as Working Paper 6721140. He is also the author of *AI Visibility, AEO & GEO: Understanding the Knowledge Structuring Model (KSM™)*. The book translates the KSM™ framework into practical guidance for executives, marketers, educators, researchers, and digital leaders navigating the transition from traditional search rankings to AI-generated answers. KSMmodel.ai serves as the authoritative home of the framework, its research foundation, methodology, educational resources, and enterprise-adoption model. Building upon this scholarship, Dr. Bowen developed graduate-level course content focused on AI Visibility, Answer Engine Optimization, Generative Engine Optimization, structured knowledge, entity strategy, knowledge graphs, citation authority, and responsible AI adoption. This curriculum prepares students and business professionals to understand how artificial intelligence is reshaping digital discovery, marketing strategy, organizational knowledge, and competitive positioning. His broader research program extends KSM™ into Enterprise Knowledge Readiness for Agentic Artificial Intelligence. His paper, *Beyond AI Visibility: Extending the Knowledge Structuring Model (KSM™) to Enterprise Knowledge Readiness (EKR) for Agentic Artificial Intelligence*, examines whether enterprise knowledge is sufficiently structured, governed, contextualized, accessible, and reliable for AI agents to retrieve, interpret, reason over, and use. Dr. Bowen also co-authored *Warrant Clearing for Artificial Intelligence Agents* with Jabran I. Chaudry. The paper explores how evidence, authority, policy, ethics, and human accountability can remain traceable throughout autonomous AI reasoning and action. Together, his scholarship addresses AI-mediated visibility, enterprise knowledge readiness, evidence governance, and the responsible adoption of increasingly autonomous AI systems. Dr. Bowen’s professional experience is not limited to theoretical or academic analysis. He has led enterprise transformation, artificial intelligence, digital strategy, marketing technology, customer experience, product development, and operational programs in complex corporate environments. His executive career includes leadership roles at Cablevision/Altice, Virtusa, Quantum Digital Media, Ai Media Group, Hilton Worldwide, and other organizations.
