    • But the act of recording information outside a direct tangible need is laborious and incomplete. It's estimated that 80 - 90 percent of organizations' knowledge is tacit or implicit. The effort to record this would take a lot of time and quickly become out of date, as such knowledge is constantly evolving.
    • A better strategy for breaking the knowledge silos is to expand the opportunities for what's inside people's heads to be applied as situations occur. This is fundamentally different from the historical KM focus. The emphasis is not recording information, but on matching people to others who can help them.
    • why haven't companies instituted better ways to allow expertise to be emergent? Historically, the tools haven't been up to the job. The nature of most business applications is to focus your attention on executing a specific task. It's efficient, but the idea of making what workers know and do accessible to a wider audience was really never part of the plan.
      • Traditional work has three silos which limit companies' ability to realize the full value of emergent expertise:




        1. Information silos
        2. Knowledge silos
        3. Connection silos



        4. Addressing these three silos is a key responsbility of Enterprise 2.0 if it is to drive meaningful improvements inside companies.
