Author recalled reading an Internet Source explaining clearly how Bill Gates defined Knowledge Management which in the author's professional views is THE BEST definition of all :

*Excerpts

Knowledge management as I use it here is not a software product or a software category. Knowledge management doesn't even start with technology. It starts with business objectives and processes and a recognition of the need to share information. Knowledge management is nothing more than managing information flow, getting the right information to the people who need it so that they can act on it quickly. It goes back to Michael Dertouzos' idea that information is a verb, not a static noun. And knowledge management is a means, not an end.

Bill Gates (Microsoft*)
