✦ Synopsis

Building the infrastructure is easy compared with building the right culture. Our organizations have not typically had cultures where these tangible qualities of information and knowledge have been nurtured and revered."

Clive Mather, Chief Information Officer, Royal Dutch Shell As organizations-government, industry, academia-move into the seamless, boundary-less 21st century, the value added of individuals who are part of these organizations will be their ability to share knowledge and expertise with others. Given the complexity and dynamics of the 21st century, if individuals cannot-or will not-share knowledge their value to organizations will be limited.
