Similarly, making that 'stuff' available has to be relatively easy, or it just won't get done."

This is a great point but I think that it is also important not only to make the knowledge easily available but also to persuade people that the knowledge is valuable in their work. Many companies build "lessons learned" systems or "data warehouses" that they promote to their people but they fail to make the connection on how that knowledge applies to the particular challenges that person faces in their everyday work.

It's full text in EbscoHost Business Source Premier, Lexis-Nexis, and for academics, in ABI/Inform. The citation is: "Thinking for a living." Economist vol. 378 issue 8461 (1/21/2006): p9-12. Anyway, looks like a good article, thanks!
