The Knowledge Dashboard has the ability to inform a knowledge worker what the organization needs from that particular individual as well as pushing other users' knowledge and information to that individual. The Knowledge Dashboard forces corporate collaboration by pointing the user to the items which are determined to be the most important within the organization which the user should be contributing their insight and knowledge to. The Knowledge Dashboard eliminates the need to perform tedious searches of the knowledge and information gathered within a Knowledge Management application to determine what knowledge and information is important to the organization.
