Steve,
Maybe that's the decision-support side of KM. Back to the FBI example--the kidnapping a few years ago of a NJ executive led 350 agents to collect a room full of data on phone calls, people, cars, etc. but that material lay in a room unreviewed because there was no one assigned to analyze the results. I've heard other assessments of the KM process described as collecting an elephant to produce a gnat.

So I think you're right--KM planning has to be balanced between the collection and analysis/production to include structuring strategies for the "doing" too!

Merely capturing data and making it accessible is half
the KM battle...It seems to me the difficult aspect of KM is what to
*do* with all of that information. Consider this
listserv's archives; it contains a wealth of
information about technical writing, but does the
ability to access all information about "help
authoring tools," for example, make it easier for me
to select a HAT to use with a new employer?
