1. Talking Points continued Bullet 1: In fact, the advancement of knowledge management has come to the point where LTG Caldwell reorganized CAC to create CAC-Knowledge in order to better create, organize, apply and transfer knowledge for the Army. Bullet 2: We believe CAC-K�s products and services help make the Army a learning organization. Bullet 3: However, we want you to know that this is a growth industry fueled by supplemental funding and is therefore at risk. I�ll explain to you what we do and how we impact the force so that you can better understand this important part of the generating force.

2. This chart shows how CAC-K develops and transfers knowledge from informal networking on the left, through a deliberate network of lessons learned integrators, the insights of professional opinion and the application of history to contemporary operations that all distill into the enduring principles of doctrine on the right. Although this model appears linear, it is very much a networked, nonlinear approach that includes feedback from operational forces. We see this as a �value stream� of knowledge creating and disseminating capabilities that complement each other and make a substantial contribution to readiness. Build 1: We use KM practices to manage content, locate experts and enable collaboration in order to connect the Operating and Generating Forces � ideally enabling the Operating and Generating forces to share what they know or access what they need to know anytime, anywhere. Build 2: The left side of the chart depicts the ability to transfer knowledge within minutes or hours through BCKS or L2I. This is the organizational capacity to be �reflexive.� Some CALL documents and the professional opinion of Mil Rev are published monthly or bimonthly. Build 3: The right side of the value stream depicts the knowledge transfer that requires more thought. The longer term process of applying history to current operations and distilling insights into doctrine represent the �reflective� part of the organization. Build 4: The KM sections being introduced to the Army for higher echelon organizations will provide a network to rapidly provide cross organizational knowledge sharing. Manned by proponent trained KM experts, using sound doctrine and the latest best practices, this network will enable the Army to rapidly share what it knows or find what it needs. CAC-K creates, organizes, applies and transfers doctrine, historical studies, journal articles, lessons, best practices and other knowledge products and services to enable the operating and generating force to gain timely access to Army Knowledge. CAC-K expands and fuels the �touch points� between the generating force, the operational force, the JIIM community, academia & industryThis chart shows how CAC-K develops and transfers knowledge from informal networking on the left, through a deliberate network of lessons learned integrators, the insights of professional opinion and the application of history to contemporary operations that all distill into the enduring principles of doctrine on the right.
