Some more thoughts on this...

Wilf Greenwood says: wilf@monaco.mc

"Getting individuals to share is much more a matter of giving them easy-to-use tools than retraining them psychologically ! To share openly, individuals need tools and top-level proactive assistance and approval. Motivation will arrive via feedback and automated feedback can help complete the knowledge loop. "

This could mean: develop the project as an intranet development (rather than a KM solution per se), get them to use it, then elicit their knowledge via use! That might get round the cultural problem, also putting in reward mechanism like: 'best suggestion of the week', or 'best idea nicked from somebody else', that's what some major case studies suggest!

comments welcome!

Dr. A. Taylor
