• Conditional : Know when to apply a procedure is as important as knowing the procedure
• Contextual: you need to know how to use a tool and under what circumstances.
We must recognise that organisation’s knowledge based core competencies ( 2 or 3 things that org. does best) are key org. assets and can not be
duplicated easily.

All the major accounting and consulting firms have developed structured document ( casebased) repositories of reports from consultants who are
working with particular clients after the consulting is completed in some companies these are called best
practices.
Examples: Database of case reports of consulting firms; tax law accounting databases of accounting firms

• Taxonomy: Scheme of classifying information and knowledge for easy retrieval it is like a table of contents of a book or like a library’s logical categories the more precise the taxonomy the more relevant search results are. Once a knowledge taxonomy is produced documents are all tagged.
• Tagging: Marking of documents according to the proper knowledge taxonomy ( Class)

The problem of distributed knowledge is finding the right person who knows failing that will result in
rediscovering effort which can cost companies a lot.
