From the get-go, the net has been a KM tool.

Web 2.0 / social media / whatever makes it usable.

Strategies for implementation:

1. Use the free stuff

2. Off the shelf

3. Roll your own

4. Use what you have

It’s not about tools, it’s about being

Remember: the shift towards individualism

Let people learn and share their way, not yours.

Think: small pieces, loosely joined.
