ABSTRACT
The MITRE Corporation's goal is to "bring the corporation to bear" on critical national problems—to apply all its relevant knowledge and experience to each of the complex projects it takes on for the U.S. Government. Making valuable knowledge available when and where it is needed has always been a primary aim of knowledge management and the goal of many knowledge-intensive organizations. MITRE has succeeded far better than many organizations at supporting the learning and knowledge sharing that bringing the corporation to bear requires. The practices, technologies, values, and environments behind this success offer a useful model of how knowledge-sharing works. MITRE's experience shows that there is no single source of effective collaboration, and certainly no technology "solution" that makes it happen. Collaboration and effective knowledge management rest on a foundation of mutually supportive elements—a broad and varied collaborative landscape.
