The book "Successful Business Intelligence"  is highly recommended and worth a quick trip to the bookstore or an online order. Published in 2008, this unique book by Cindy Howson stands out for several reasons. First and foremost, Howson, despite her extensive experience, writes with humility, avoiding a condescending tone.

I have delved into numerous books on knowledge management, categorizing them broadly into works by Key Thinkers who shape the discourse on knowledge management and works by Knowledge Doers—consultants or managers directly involved in implementing knowledge management in organizations, with a strong focus on practical applications. I choose my words carefully; Key Thinkers also perform, and Doers also think, yet the distinction is evident. Carl Frappaolo's "Knowledge Managemen
