Abstract
This paper reports on a part of a broader and more comprehensive research study (i.e., research designed to answer additional research questions and requiring additional research methods to be employed than those reported herein) carried out from May 2017 to January 2019 and aimed at determining the impact of the Experience Use System3 on the operational capabilities, organizational culture, and approaches to knowledge management in the Polish Armed Forces. To carry out this part of the research, a survey was administered to professional soldiers and employees of the Ministry of National Defence, and the goal of the research was to determine "how much of the information needed to perform your duties do you have in your head." This study is based on the findings of independent investigations by Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University, Nick Bontis of McMaster University, and Robert Kelley of Carnegie-Mellon University.
