Understanding the importance of implicit and explicit knowledge to the organization is key to the development of a knowledge management system. The first step is to identify where implicit, explicit, and tacit knowledge exists, and how it is managed. Focus on the military as an organization.

• Define implicit, explicit, and tacit knowledge artifacts.
• For each of these types of knowledge artifacts, define what agent(s) use these artifacts to take action or make decisions.
• Identify the weaknesses in this system.
• What is missing from this current knowledge management system?
• How does this hurt the organization's ability to be entrepreneurial?
