Differentiating between theory and practice is basically about identifying what works in real life. Small differences in technology, culture, organizational processes or leadership can have a huge impact on whether what works in one setting can work in another. This is especially important as federal agencies try to apply KM concepts in their own unique environments. This session brings together several case studies of KM initiatives that have been successful within the federal government in agencies such as the Departments of Homeland Security and Treasury. These can serve as models or templates for practitioners in the process of implementing KM in their own agencies.
