So, documents should be collected and made searchable making the insights visible. As you said, knowledge sharing also requires an infrastructure for conversation via blogs, discussion groups, and wikis. This type of interaction is more ad-hoc but can be extremely valuable. Tagging makes finding content more precise and therefor adds precision to search and browsing. Search engines are getting more powerful, so it is hard to hide content in shared drives and inaccessible emails. I do think that it is search the pulls all these disparate content sources together and it is the job of knowledge managers or information architects to build the frameworks which can make the content "findable".Ralph Poolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05837700310271211632noreply@blogger.com
