Typically management will reduce KM to one of the schools (starting with the 'build a knowledge base' cognitivist's view).

A good KM initiative should take into account the three schools. Some of the knowledge will allways need a lot of interpretation (Autopoetic), some can be nicely codified (Cognitivists) and a lot of knowledge will only be valued through the interactions between people (Connectivists).

A blog is a nice example :
- autopoetic : readers are invited to interpret each post.
- cognitivist : each entry is an entry in a kind of data repository
- connectivist : there is connection and interaction
