A work culture full of organizational walls slows down projects, forces staff into frequent and frustrating knowledge searches, and eats up the time of experts who have to answer the same questions over and over. Without a way to store and access information they need across departments, divisions and functions, personnel end up stumbling around in the dark. In addition, having a bunch of knowledge siloes spread throughout the agency wastes a lot of time – and consumes often scarce agency resources. This is why knowledge sharing and management is crucial to both an organizations and its staff members success.
