CIO.com has an article with some excellent tips on encouraging knowledge sharing in an organisation.

  • start with the enthusiasts, and get on board those that are the influencers that affect the emotions and attitudes of others.
  • keep knowledge sharing initiatives to pressing business issues.
  • embed knowledge collection and dissemination into workers existing tasks so that there is no extra cost to contributing.
  • make sure that the effort of sharing knowledge is less than the value of participating.
