Mike,

I have never heard of the CLO but I have heard of the CKO (Chief Knowledge
Officer). I don't know how different the two are. For a full description
of that senior management position and the skills needed see an article by
Michael J. Earl and Ian A. Scott, What is a chief knowledge officer?
Sloan Management Review, Winter 1999, pp. 29-38. They have studied 20
companies with this position. They do not offer a list of these companies
but you could contact them.
