RE: Knowledge Management

[Peter <pnewman1 -at- optonline -dot- net>]

Your last sentence defines the term. IMNVHO it is nothing more than a
buzzword. Before anyone gets their pants in an uproar, I say that because
most executive types want a KM system for their company, but they are unable
to articulate the business need or the type of KM required. 

Having said that, I consider KM the means by which the collective data
within an organization can be communicated. It may or may not be implemented
and combined with data mining. (techniques for the detection of existence of
significant relationships between data.)

Yes, I know my working definition may very well be oversimplified, but a
search on Google will turn up sufficient detail.
