Knowledge Management: Less for Success Accounting Software 411 - Knowledge Management: Less for Success : "
Instead of approaching knowledge management like an all-encompassing ERP project, try tackling it incrementally, professes Alice Dragoon in her article about how to develop an enterprise knowledge management system in a piecemeal fashion. Ms. Dragoon has some compelling arguments such as - Smaller projects%u2014or splitting a big project into phases%u2014gives you more control over the outcome. Getting budget approval for smaller projects is also much easier than trying to get buyoff on a large expensive project. If a small project fails then the financial loss will not have as big an impact on the organization or draw as much attention. It's also easier to get company wide buy in if you can build upon your successes rather than throwing all your chances of success into one big project. Ms. Dragoon's point of view may seem to buck traditional IT tendencies towards large scale cradle to grave systems but she makes compelling arguments that ought to be highly considered by anyone contemplating implementing a Knowledge Management system."  ¶ 16:24
