Why Manage Knowledge?
• The Government spends billions every year to create knowledge; we should capture what we know.
• Reusing knowledge can double or triple its value; we should preserve what we know.
• Workers spend a third of their time searching for knowledge; we should share what we know.
• Running a government involves many departments; we should integrate what we know.
