Starting small makes lots of sense. The reason for the post was that I
wanted to remind knowledge managers that if they aren't executing against a
big vision, those small steps won't amount to as much as they could.

In my former life as a consultant, we used to say (about internet-companies):
“Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast”

I don't think “Scale Fast” is very important here, but “Think Big, Start Small” is probably still sound advice ? Yes, you should think of the big picture when you plan the overall KM strategy, but maybe a “big bang” is not what your users want (or need) ?

Bold ideas with KISS-implementation, maybe ?
