“Brainpower always trumps manpower”
“This represents a major step forward for the Defence Forces; it will enable both improved communication for our personnel at home and overseas, and improved access to information which will enable better decision‐making in a shorter time frame, bringing about significant cost, and
sometimes life‐saving efficiencies.”
Deputy chief of staff (Support) Defence Forces, Rear Admiral Mark Mellett DSM.

Using ICT to Support Information and Knowledge Management in Defence
Key Findings:
Technology platforms acting as inhibitor
• Support of the highest level of management is secured first. These projects need champions
• Start with polices and procedures
• Informational needs of end users is needed before beginning
• Ensure the information architecture is in place
• Ensure technology is easy to use and has some social networking element
• Conduct a test launch
• A single ‘point of truth’
• Where possible train managers/leaders separately
• Establish a reward system
10 Commandments…

FUTURE TRENDS
Every 2 Days We Create As Much Information As We Did Up To 2003Eric Schmidt
Around 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. It would take you around 15 years to watch every video uploaded by users in one dayYouTube
If you burned all of the data created in just one day onto DVDs, you could stack them on top of each other and reach the moon – twice Bernard Marr

INFORMATION LIFE CYCLE
Information Management
A discipline that directs and supports the handling of information throughout its life‐cycle ensuring it becomes the right information in the right form and of adequate quality to satisfy the demands of the organisation.
Knowledge Management
The multidisciplined approach to achieving organisational objectives by making the best use of information, expertise, lessons learned and best practises.
KNOWLEDGE
Tacit knowledge ‐ that which people carry in their minds and is difficult to access and not easily shared. People are often not aware of this knowledge they possess and how valuable it can be to others. It is considered more valuable because it provides context for people, places, ideas, and experiences.
Explicit knowledge – that which has been or can be articulated, codified, and stored in certain media. It can be readily transmitted to others. The most common forms of explicit knowledge are manuals, and documents, or other digital media.
