The PMKN is a community dedicated to leveraging the body of knowledge to achieve efficiencies and effectiveness in project execution.  Intellectual Capital Management (ICM) is part of the total knowledge management process.
  
In the ICM process, IBM project managers identify reusable products, processes, and lessons learned on a project and submit them, normally during project closing, with submission forms to the ICM AssetWeb, an IBM Global Service centralized system for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and intellectual capital management. 
  
Adding intellectual capital to the ICM AssetWeb is very important.  Reading and using the information is just as critical.  By using the information already provided, you can improve your project management skills and learn ideas for improving your project.  Access the information in the ICM AssetWeb as you start each new project and whenever you have a question or issue needing the ideas of others.  The probability is high that another IBM project manager in a similar or related project experienced the same issue and documented the actions taken to solve it.
  
Ensure that the material you submit as intellectual capital is also documented in the project evaluation report for your project.
