This recent study has an 'instrument' to point you to the areas to focus on when assisting knowledge sharing:

To share or not to share, that is the question. Conditions for the willingness to share knowledge>

"Hey, we've built this thing and no one is coming. I know! Let's give them a Starbucks card when they contribute to the repository."

Tx for the morning chuckle! :-)

Unfortunately this often the case... For me, the old expression of 'buy in' still has meaning, and the overall change must be based in corporate culture. Sway the right people, and the rest will roll along.

Not that incentives are useless, but they are very easy to rely upon; and by themselves do not equate a change management strategy.

Great post, Jack ! I am not sure why the trackback that I tried to send out yesterday didn't work but I thought I would let you know that I have created a post over at my weblog hoping to try to expand further on what you and Dinesh have detailed so far. Here is the article itself.

Oh, by the way, thanks a bunch as well to Denham for sharing that study ! Have started reading through it and it is quite an interesting read for anyone who does KM work one way or another. Thus thanks for that, Denham. Appreciated.
