Knowledge Management: Now More Than Ever
"Successful knowledge management treats
knowledge as a resource by exercising selectivity, imposing order on
information resources, adding structure to information to increase its
value, and proactively capturing information that might be useful in the
future." While some may quibble with the exact articulation of this
definition of KM drawn from PriceWaterhouseCoopers "Technology Forecast:
2002-2004," it stands as a concise statement of what business and IT
leaders in public and private concerns will need as we head into a
challenging era of massive, constant, and pervasive data collection and
outflow.

Premier 100: Managing knowledge at Wachovia
Four years ago, it was a traditional company
with silos of people, processes, content and technology. Employees'
talents and information weren't universally accessible; best practices
weren't shared across business units; information was difficult to find;
the corporate intranet was a hodgepodge of more than 1,200 Web sites; and
information-sharing wasn't a cultural value. That's when the financial
services company began to systematically build an increasingly
sophisticated knowledge management process.

continents in 110 offices are using the system to search for information
that may be vital to big initiatives and to identify and eliminate

in rapid decline, the pharmaceutical industry is facing an unprecedented

innovation in an increasingly difficult drug discovery landscape. A new
