Reading an umptieth comparison “Management 1.0 v. Management 2.0″ I come to think:

“Need To Know” is dead; we need now “Need To Let Know”

Whatever’s happening in front of me, the constant thought should be “Who should know? Who is ging to miss this if I don’t let them know?”.

You have to distinguish Knowledge Management Lifecycle (KML) & Knowledge Lifecycle Management (KLM).

KM has a lifecycle of its own, clearly observable along the organization’s progress in KM — but Knowledge also has a lifecycle of its own, clearly observable along Continuous Improvement Processes like Kaizen, and this lifecycle can & should be managed.
