Within the federal government, there is no doubt that the military took a lead role in pioneering knowledge management. In effect, the Army launched its Army Knowledge Management strategy even before 9/11. Now is the time to review what has happened in KM within the DoD, decide what has worked and what hasnít, and present the success stories that could serve as models across the services. In this session, KM practitioners from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines present case studies and examples of KM initiatives that work.
