  4. “Knowledge management failures central to Shuttle disaster” –Computer Weekly • Knowledge management systems failures played a major role in February's Columbia space shuttle disaster—Columbia Accident Investigation Board • Massive bureaucracy that relied on informal e-mail communications to manage the in-flight analysis of damage to Columbia during takeoff. • Error 3: Viewing Knowledge as Existing Predominantly Outside the Heads of Individuals • Mind of its own • NASA has current automated system in place to track safety critical issues; • (-) “Extremely cumbersome; difficult to use at any level“ •  System goes unused • Error 4: Not Understanding that Fundamental Intermediate Purpose of Managing Knowledge Is to Create Shared Context • None  differing perspectives  immobilize DM

  6. WebMD (Codification & Personalization) • How are you feeling today?

  7. WebMD (Codification & Personalization) • We pride ourselves in knowing our audience's needs and delivering the most appropriate experience. We know that there is a difference between using a health site for health "performance" issues (e.g., flat abs) vs. health research needs (e.g., "What is type 2 diabetes?") vs. community support (e.g., "Does anyone else feel like me?") vs. e-commerce. Our mission is to fulfill all these needs in the most appropriate ways possible.
