| | Coming Soon: The CKO |
 | | The CKO is the designer, implementer, and overseer of an organization's knowledge infrastructure, including its libraries, knowledge bases, human resources (HR), computer knowledge networks, research centers, and academic relationships. |
 | | Knowledge can be defined as the value-added information comprising what an organization knows or could know, including the skills and experiences of employees, documents in its libraries and file cabinets, relationships with other firms and individuals that could yield knowledge and, sometimes, materials in computer databases. |
 | | The structure and reporting relationships of the CKO and the associated organization are important not only for their day-to-day execution, but also for their symbolic value. |
