In your organization, do different groups “control” the information they produce? Is information shared freely? What about in your own group? Are there some people who have all of the information and others who do not?

The fields of content, knowledge, and technology management are vast. Regardless of the technology approach, ensuring each person’s access to the right content is sometimes hard to uncover, especially with distance teams.
