I like this definition of technology:
"Technology is the discipline by which
Humans utilise their Scientific Knowledge
to change or manipulate the physical world
or create tools to enable them to do so."

Yes, "if...". But there is change, people must
be motivated... Remember e.g. that in most case
business process re-engineering failed. And what was
the main reason?

>3. We do have a working accounting system.

Measuring e.g. what?

I don't because I think KM is something else
