The second action is to realign the organization’s structure and
budget in accordance with the KM strategy. At this stage, it is essential to
reorganize budget and departmental responsibilities to accommodate the
wide development of KM as a business strategy. For example, at this stage
of implementation, the World Bank shifted KM leadership to operations
from the chief information officer, as KM evolved from a database to an all-
encompassing strategy. The budget increased from $13 million to $57 million
in two years and included a formal consolidation of budgets from activities that had been contributing to KM. At this stage, the organizational structure will, to some extent, naturally evolve to better fitt this new way of working.
