Hi Howard,
KM is the management of tacit and explicit knowledge. The big question is how we do this. Here's the conclusion I've come to:

In terms of an overall KM system, tacit knowledge is the 'individual'. Individuals ARE tacit knowledge, and the rules or science that governs tacit knowledge is completely independent of explicit knowledge. Explicit knowledge is the organisation, not the individuals within the organisation, but the knowledge wiring that connects them up.

So logically, for a KM system to be developed, it has to look like an electrical diagram, with the individuals representing the knowledge source or generator, and the wiring representing the knowledge circuit.

If you start with this analogy, you'll develop an authentic km process.
