Remember Stop Jumping on the Band Wagon and use Common Sense and Context.
Knowledge Management is the newest trend. It's the result of BPR. How ? Well, if you're downsizing and people are no longer loyal, the
company has to retain the knowledge to remain competitive and more importantly an "ongoing concern".
Being a reasonable person, this should have always been the case. I still consider myself to be a programmer at heart. And you know

Project Management should be the mantra for the next decade. It is the key factor to success or failure.
Capturing people's tacit knowledge for the purposes of achieving codification of explicit knowledge. Now there's the rub. What's it worth to you?
The Seven Myths of Knowledge Management
- knowledge management is about knowledge
- knowledge management is about the technology
- the system should be so all-encompassing that it can cure cancer and end world hunger.
- the goal is to create a document repository.
- you can buy a ready-made system.
- knowledge management is about knowledge control.
- if you build it, they will use it.
Knowledge Management 2.0
The challenges we face today in getting people to share what they know and to collaborate effectively are not caused or cured by technologies, they are cultural impediments. It's extremely difficult to change people's behaviours (they usually exist for a reason), so the solutions we find have to accommodate these behaviours, and these cultures, rather than trying to 'fix' them.
