Most managers want staff working on project deliverables. Individuals who are assigned to KM aren't usually subject matter experts, not for adding content. Sometimes they are trainers with deep skills but in a single field, sometimes they are administrators that are good at maintaining content rather than creating it. I've thought a lot about this too, and am curious. I'd love to read about a successful example of corporate KM similar to SE! | |

I'm really interested in understanding systems or websites that elicit "experts" to share their knowledge in some incentive-compatible way (i.e., where there is something in it for them). So many knowledge management (KM) systems within corporate intranets seem to fail... and employees generally don't share their knowledge. And yet, SE and other sites proliferate. I'd be curious to know if there were any examples of successful within-company SEs or the like. | |
