The document discusses five knowledge-centric drivers for knowledge management: 1) Knowledge recognition failure where companies fail to recognize what knowledge they already have, 2) The need for smart knowledge distribution to get the right knowledge to the right people at the right time, 3) Tacit knowledge walkouts which refers to the risk of losing valuable tacit knowledge when key people leave an organization, 4) Knowledge hoarding which discusses why people hoard knowledge instead of sharing it, and 5) The need to learn to unlearn outdated practices and continuously learn new knowledge and skills.

There are times that the loss of only a few key people "walking out the door" with their essential knowledge and skills can put at risk the net worth of an entire organization. In the early stage development of an enterprise, key individuals' tacit knowledge embody the vision and mission, as well as the core competencies. Their loss can put at risk the viability or survivability of the corporation. One of the thrusts of KM is to protect and enhance these valuable assets by creating infrastructure and a culture of knowledge sharing.

Editor's Notes
- #7: Just-in-time knowledge distribution systems deliver the:right information to the right person just in time, so the employee can take action based on that information.Right Information - Relevant and reliable information presented in the best format and the right amount of detail. Right People - Deliver this information to the appropriate individuals, or groups, or devices. Right Time - On a timely basis, and as and when the users need this information.But just-in-time knowledge distribution systems also deliver information in a usable format, it’s useless knowledge if you cant use right away. So the Information must be Processed and Actionable.Failure is equal to Success in terms of its knowledge business value . an organization must share and distribute knowledge from learned lessons, to prevent mistakes in the future.Experts should share their experiences with the rest as well as to design a quality criteria to achieve a best practice.Smart knowledge distribution helps to develop a best practice approach or enhance it.
