Understand the Business and the People
Success requires understanding the details of how business and work will change with the introduction of every new KM/IT capability. To develop IT systems that support knowledge workers effectively, we need to know how people use different kinds of knowledge to perform their tasks.

Understand the Science and the Technology
From AI techniques to Semantic Modeling, modern computer science and information and communication technologies provide a plethora of options for supporting business tasks. These technologies will revolutionize the way we do business -- we would be foolish to neglect them.
"It now appears clear that knowledge management professionals must focus on people-related KM and its relationships to enterprise performance to a greater degree than many have considered important or necessary."
