Some people consider knowledge to be the only sustainable competitive advantage Data/Information/Knowledge
I’m the expert
Local practice not necessarily good practice
Intangible asset Explicit knowledge is easy to articulate and communicate, therefore making it less complicated to transfer between individuals and organizations the innovation and application of tacit knowledge contributes to competitive advantage, especially during a time in which information transformed into knowledge is progressively more valuable and more powerful than ever before Learning has become one of the main sources of sustainable competitive advantage From risk to innovation/creativity
In the scope do we need to say what we carried out and what we didn’t do.

You don't always know how it's going to be used and you can be pleasantly surprised with how creative people can be. Very quickly you find that some good practices start to emerge which become the standard way of working Make sure you have a strategy with clear goals for how it will improve the business. Design the pilot/trial around an issue/problem and have some top down guidance along with encouraging a bottom up self organising approach Set appropriate expectations of time and effort and don't over promise too much in the early stages. Once you have some success stories under your belt then crank up the PR/comms Establish new ways of working

Economy The practice of knowledge management can be useful during tough economic times and in times of rapid growth When an organization downsizes, critical knowledge and intellectual capital are lost When a business picks up it often picks up quickly You can’t hire and train fast enough to maintain a satisfactory level of performance using traditional methods You need a more efficient way to deal with growth Projects that lack a champion generally don’t get off the ground. Those with only one champion are also at serious risk
the way people work so that individuals do it on a daily basis gaining benefit for themselves and in turn it becomes a by product for the organisation
You should invest in independent expert advise explain what other organisations are doing and what is right for your organisation. The outlay will more than pay for itself in increased usage and user satisfaction
the outcome will be better knowledge sharing and collaboration which will be the main benefit for the organisation
Where knowledge sharing is not the norm you will need to do as much as you can to get it ingrained into the way the organisation operates
People do it because they get immediate, tangible benefits and the collective organisational benefits are derived from aggregating these actions
