Members of the knowledge management community have banded together and approached the White House and Congress to consider the application of Knowledge Management to assist with good management of the funds.<\/p>\n<p>The committee called the Federal Management Initiative Committee proposed that information should be considered an asset and that systems should be set up to better collect, aggregate and share data.\u00a0 They suggest that using a knowledge management system that they would better be able to select and maange programs to be funded by the $787 billion recovery act.\u00a0 The committee proposed that a central system be implemented so that individual government agencies that might be involved in implementing and overseeing the stimulus need not implement their own programs.<\/p>\n<p>The committee proposed creating a federal knowledge management center that would act as a central clearinghouse for providing access to software, expertise and lessons learned.\u00a0 The committee recommended that the center be headed by a federal chief knowledge officer.\u00a0 The CKO would be in charge of the center&#8217;s operations and evangelize the benefits
