I did not see anything on knowledge management. Do you have any examples of performance systems you have implemented that provide proven results in that regard? I agree that incentives work, as I mention in the entry -- it is just few companies are willling to give anything like full value to the sharer of the knoweldge, and once you begin to pay -- you better be ready to pay a lot; at least that what the data say. Best, john Dear Thomas,
