Ocommitment and motivating incentives to encourage KM behaviors. This commitment is implicit in MITRE’s three corporate values: “people in partnership,” “excellence that counts,” and “outcomes in the public interest”. These values are reflected in performance and development plans for each manager and employee. In addition, KM activity and behavior is incentivized through a formal and visible KM Awards Program, described below. Finally, an environment of innovation from the line organizations and collaboration with the infrastructure support organization ensures the best solutions get deployed corporately. We next describe how this comprehensive KM strategy developed over time.
