Do you know Institutional Knowledge Management Strategies in the Environment Sector?

I am looking for examples of institutional knowledge management strategies, for all organizations. And for lessons learned, evaluations, and research articles focused on knowledge management strategies of large institutions.

It would be great if you could share examples, documents if you know any.

I'll write a blogpost afterwards to summarize the articles I collected.

Thanks in advance!
