The following was only an opening (once more)
for a discussion:

*Knowledge management is not science. It
*is a technology based on planning disciplines
*changing the behaviour of its objects.

I guess we can accept that KM is no ONLY technology
and I guess we can accept that in order to do KM
effectively also people must change their working
habits. Then there will be a second round having
different kind of people ("raw material"). If there
will be a convergence on this KM might become
a science...
