Case Study: Success at Ernst & Young's Center for Business Knowledge

I wrote this case study, Online Collaboration Tools, Knowledge Managers, and a Cooperative Culture, in 2003 while working at Ernst & Young in Sydney, Australia, as the Ernst & Young Online Program Manager for Asia. It was published as a chapter within Knowledge Management Tools and Techniques in January 2005.

Ernst & Young's collaborative capability is the central theme to this paper. It aims to provide a background on their approach to knowledge management in order to understand:

  • Why Quickplace was selected as the tool to enable collaboration with their clients;
  • How this approach contributes to the successful diffusion of a new information technology innovation into their business;
  • How it has helped them to manage the risks that exist for organisations that implement Web-based collaboration; and
  • To provide a framework that can help other organisations to understand how they can develop the capability to collaborate on-line with other organisations.
