They are more likely to come if THEY build it. I guess it's the well worn
principle of involvement.

Absolutely. However this doesn't stop us using the term Knowledge
Management. Rather it encourages us to define Management in terms more
appropriate to today's organisations. It does mean that such a definition
probably has to be part of any KM presentation.

They might be the wrong questions from a purist point of view but they are
the kind questions which any audience - particularly a sceptical one --
will ask. So, if we are going to get their involvement and commitment, we
better answer them.
A list of quick-quotes on bottom-line benefits from KM and LO would be
valuable, particularly if they could demonstrate quick gains. Quick gains
are the kind which get senior management excited :)
