- Knowledge Management Statement of Intent signed on 13 October 2000 by FAA, DON, OSD, NDU, GSA and the EPA. At the following meeting, it was unanimously confirmed by all in attendance (representing approximately 30 government organizations).

To our knowledge, this statement and the learning objectives would still be active since they have not been updated, so they serve as a good starting place for future actions (AlexBennett). (339Y)
- The economy of the United States is successful because of the intellectual capital of its people. Knowledge creation, sharing and use are cornerstones o our economic strength and vitality. Industry is successfully building these cornerstones into their enterprises, and focusing them on producing customer delight. The U.S. government has recognized the value of these cornerstones in providing effective government, i.e., better and faster government services to our ultimate customer, the citizen. (33A0)
- To facilitate knowledge creation, sharing and use, a common understanding of the conceptual framework and the corresponding competencies of Knowledge Management are needed. In recognition of this need, the Knowledge Management Working Group of the Federal Chief Information Officers Council is partnering with academia and industry associations currently offering KM certification programs to define a conceptual framework and a set of principles, definitions and taxonomies for Knowledge Management.
