The document provides guidance on successfully managing knowledge management (KM) projects. It notes that many KM projects fail because they are not focused on business problems and outcomes, lack senior management support, and do not engage employees. It recommends asking how the project will solve business issues, sustain senior support, engage people, and encourage independent thinking. Key steps include identifying business problems to address, understanding stakeholders, developing solutions with stakeholders, avoiding rewards that undermine motivation, and getting ongoing business approval throughout project execution.
