o (a) the problems in the current KM, focusing on specific aspects (e.g., knowledge creation, sharing, and utilization of clearly identified areas of knowledge for disseminating information, improving decision making or generating insight/knowledge),

o (b) the proposed improvement (which should not be a laundry list of several minor changes, but a substantially different approach - think "process re-engineering"; and

o (c) the costs and benefits of the proposed changes to KM. In developing this proposal, you may borrow ideas from the book chapters or the cases discussed in class, but creativity (as long as not so wild as to be indefensible) will also be considered very important.
