An enhanced knowledge management system (“KMS”) is provided. The enhanced KMS provides a customizable, person-to-person, knowledge sharing portal that manages concurrent one-on-one conversations between requesters and expert resources. Through the knowledge sharing portal, the KMS provides the automatic capture, organization, and reuse of tacit knowledge, as well as integration with existing systems that manage already documented (explicit) knowledge. Example embodiments provide a Conversation Manager, which manages communication in the form of conversations (question and answer sequences) between users (requesters) and experts (expert resources), and allows system administrators to customize the system. Conversations are organized by subject matter categories and experts are ranked preferably by the system and by users, thereby increasing the likelihood of the KMS providing answers to users' questions. The Conversation Manager, in conjunction with managing these conversations, produces a dynamic knowledge base of knowledge that is searchable by other users. In this manner, the KMS enhances the ability in a multitude of environments to capture previously untapped knowledge and to integrate such knowledge with existing data.

A computer-implemented knowledge management method enables a user to send a query on one or more specified topics to a selected group of persons. A form is displayed to each recipient, allowing them to respond that they are unable to help or to recommend themselves or one or more other persons as being an expert on one or more of the specified topics. A recipient may also forward the query to another group of people, who can themselves respond. The responses are used to update a searchable database of persons and their areas of expertise. The system thus automatically over time builds up a database defining a tacit knowledge network, based on users' recommendations.

A computer based knowledge management and result generation system that uses electronically presentable work and knowledge items or their references, and the method of its usage for producing other work or knowledge items is presented as well as the method of delivering knowledge or work results using such items. The items are stored in knowledge bases. Each item could be elementary or refer to other items. The items are shareable, and users can add new items or improve existing items over time. If a work item is applied to some complex system and then its version in the knowledge base is improved, the system that uses the item can use the improved version. This can happen either automatically, or by subscription to the item changes, or manually. At the time of knowledge base application, the items can be used as simple constructive blocks or applied to some target entity. Items can be parameterized. At the time of item application, parameter values can be received from the user or derived from the target entity.
