AB  - Problem statement: Most businesses rely on the fact that their employees possess relevant
knowledge and that they can apply it to the task at hand. The problem is that this knowledge is not
owned by the organization. It is owned and controlled by its employees. Maintaining an appropriate
level of knowledge in the organization is a very important issue. It is, however, not an easy task for
most organizations and it is particularly problematic for software organizations, which are human and
knowledge intensive. Knowledge management is a relatively new area that has attempted to address
these problems. Conclusion/Recommendations: This study introduces an approach called the
Knowledge Dust to Gems approach. This approach addresses some of the issues with knowledge
management by providing low-barrier mechanisms to “jump start” the experience base. This approach allows the experience base to become more useful more quickly than traditional approaches.
