Successful work support technology
initiatives rely heavily on a balance between people
and technology. This article, published in Intelligent
Enterprise, delves into the evolution of Knowledge Mangement
as a tool for increasing performance and productivity
and evaluates barriers to implementing effective KM
programs. We separate the hype of knowledge management
from its real value by debunking some of the common
mythology surrounding knowledge management and providing
some perspective on how to solve knowledge-based problems.

The Management Imperative at Midsize Companies:
How to Use Strategy and Performance Management as Competitive
Weapons
Regardless of firm size, effective strategy development
and implementation depends on several critical success
factors — good planning, reliable information,
deep understanding of the strategy by decision makers,
accurate and timely information, careful reading of
the competitive space and purposeful execution. Why
then is the strategy process different for firms of
different sizes?
The answer lies in the mix of available
resources and complexity of operations of different
sized firms. Firms at either end of the size spectrum
are very different. Their scale, complexity of organizational
structure, marketplace touch points, and ability to
implement substantial shifts in their offer, all result
in substantially different management, strategy definition
and process needs.
