Form a KM task force. 1.形成“特种部队”Base this cross-functional team on the core group that has already
32、formed around KM. The team members will identify opportunities for pilots and set the standards for methods to be used across all initiatives.形成跨职能部门的专业项目团队。这个团队的成员将寻找试点的机会，形成方法的标准。2. Select pilots or identify current initiatives that could work as pilots. 2，选择试点或者发现可以作为试点的现有的工作We recommend three pi
33、lots. You can select new strategic pilots or adopt current grassroots efforts already under way. Address issues that are important to your business, and design the pilots to show demonstrable, relevant results. Select pilot sponsors with the resources to help the initiative along.我们推荐 3 个试点。你可以选择新战略
34、的试点或者采用已经进行的一些工作。发现对公司业务重要的东西并设计试点来显示可论证的结果。选择试点的支持者来提供实施所需的资源。3. Find the resources to support the pilot. 3，发现资源，支持试点工作The most important resources are skilled staff members who can facilitate the initiative and who are authorized by management to focus their time on it.

Leadership now needs to see the potential for measurable gains and ROI from successful pilots.在第三阶段，获取/共享和使用知识和信息的好处已经非常明显。是时候将前两个阶段悬而未决的任务详细化了，比如一份正式的预算。领导现在需要看到试点的可预计的收益潜力和投资回报率。1. Fund the pilots. Assign a KM oversight group, such as a steering committee or
42、 cross-unit task force, to reallocate organizational resources, such as money and time, for KM initiatives. Every best-practice partner, including the World Bank, Chevron, HP Consulting, Xerox, and Siemens, reported having a KM task force to provide supervision and support for the reallocation of or
