Shiv Singh has a great article on Making Knowledge Management Work on your Intranet at Boxes and Arrows. Introduction:

In the information economy, the longevity of an organization is based as much on the sophistication of its knowledge management practices as it is on traditional differentiators such as the strength of its products, the talent of its employees, and its marketplace reputation and partner relationships.

This is where good strategy and good understanding of what is important to the organization becomes critical.
