the two main requirements of CKO

First of all, CKO should be a technical expert. CKO must understand which technologies contribute to knowledge acquisition, storage, use and share. Early research showed that CKO is often the first step to IT-based, such as creating knowledge directories, the development of knowledge-sharing components, building internal networks.
