The Urban Land Institute’s Knowledge Ecology
This case study explores the particular way in which ULI’s meetings and activities, research and publishing products, and organizational values combine to provide inviting opportunities for a wide variety of stakeholders to come together, forge relationships, solve problems, and share insights.

Hundreds of Web sites will be developed for use by sociology classes. And virtually none will be shared.

And all of it will be shared, with the author/source receiving due credit in each case. Similar stories can be told in large corporations, government agencies, professional societies, and leading-edge organizations that are practicing an "enter once, use anywhere" approach to knowledge management. What is the difference, why is it important, and what is being done about it?
