The document discusses knowledge management systems and proposes concepts for enhancing knowledge management within financial consultancies. It discusses the importance of knowledge management for gaining competitive advantage and outlines challenges with current approaches. Two early concepts are presented: a handheld device that incorporates technologies to store, process and display knowledge, and a projected interactive system within a workspace to allow users to create and share work piles digitally. Next steps include identifying target organizations, gathering consultant requirements, validating scope, and further researching technologies.
