Abstract
The Parliament of Finland has launched active development of KM services. The cornerstones of the development have been the following characteristics: strict and centralized ICT-policy, ambitious visions and focused development plans, determined building of applications and services, open standards (e.g. SGML) in information production and utilization and openness in Parliament’s web services. The KM projects of the Parliament have assessed the effects of KM on work cultures, produced a vision for practical KM activities, made concrete functional targets and means of action, and provided a basis for further KM development. The MPs have piloted the electronic workplace for the committee work, mobile services and first parts of MPs’ personal toolbox. Perhaps the most interesting results are connected with the personal missions of MPs. The final result of this development is personalized KM and ICT services for MPs.
