ETF not only will be able to link their people and their knowledge together with an effective KM framework and KM enabling technologies, but also will be able to facilitate the collaborative behavior that sustains effective knowledge capture and reuse and the return on their KM investment.

According to Bill Kaplan, Founder of Working KnowledgeCSP, “Our team is very proud of the opportunity to be able to continue to support ETF and their mission.  As an evolving high performing and knowledge enabled state organization, ETF will be able to continue to build upon its recognized success in providing the highest quality benefits and services to its members and their families.

"It's also important for state organizations, and all organizations for that matter, to recognize that building a high performing, knowledge enabled organization, is a multi-year journey that requires the leadership and organization foresight to take a patient, carefully considered long view of their knowledge management investment.”  

“The State of Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds should be commended for their insight to this challenge.  ETF recognizes they can best serve its members and their families through an improved ability to find the knowledge needed, when needed, to provide its members and their families with the best answers to make the most informed benefit decisions.  We're proud to be part of the solution!"
