What are realistic expectation to have for knowledge management? –Is it a repository of corporate knowledge? –How will it be employed and evolve? –What are some of the near term opportunities? How may concepts be employed to get maximum value? What may be the expectations of the next generation? Will governments take a different approach from industry? A partnership? Is the Aerospace industry in a better or worse position than other industries for addressing the need of the future? Are there other industries that will be precursors?
