This paper written by Robert S. Seiner for TDAN (The Data Administration Newsletter) walks briefly the readers through five business impacts of knowledge management : 1) promotion of many “healthy” business activities 2) involvement of stewards in the daily use of their knowledge and in daily activities 3) mitigation or elimination of the risks associated with attrition 4) getting a good understanding of the knowledge, information, and data needs of employees. 5) 24x7 access to all recorded knowledge, information and data about customers, prospects, employees, partners. The author concludes that “the business impacts of knowledge management may not be easy to quantify in terms of dollars and may not redirect a company's bottom line - but they all improve a company's ability to perform. “
