      <![CDATA[ <p>No, many KM projects can fall into both camps.  (Maybe "dichotomy" is too strong of a word.)  One of the things I want students to carry away from the course is the understanding that a project has camps and that they all need to be addressed in some way or another.  This goes beyond building in the "what's in it for me" idea, but it's a good place to start.</p> ]]>

      <![CDATA[ <p>Jack,  </p>

<p>You've hit on what I see as one of the key challenges in any KM implementation.</p>

<p>The "dichotomy" between what's good for the organization and what is good for the individual is, unfortunately, all too real.  In an ideal world perhaps the two can effectively co-exist, but in the real world there is often a clash.  This relates in many ways to the argument of whether knowledge management should be a "top-down" or "bottoms-up" effort.  (Of course, the right answer - if there is such a thing - is that it should be both ;-).</p>

<p>I think a key point that the discussion of this dichotomy can help address is the fact that, contrary to what some process and software vendors may try to tell us, one size does not fit all.  Every solution has good points and bad points, and blindly applying a solution to every problem will likely cause more trouble in the long run than will be solved.</p> ]]>
