Is knowledge considered as a valuable asset in public sector? Most of the answers of top public managers would be yes to this question; however it is quite rare to see a public organisation which has a collaborative digital knowledge management platform. Both the knowledge in unwritten formats such as individual's memories and also the knowledge in written forms are locked up in personal computers such as fact sheets, reports and presentations. Therefore, the organisational knowledge is disappeared in the case of public employee turnover. In this case study, the need of contemporary digital Intranet systems with virtual communities of practices in order to have an effective organisational e-collaboration in today's highly virtualisation on working life is underlined. In this regard, the Intranet revaluation of Turkish Statistical Institute, which is one of the first public institutions about identifying the need of e-transformation in the work life, between the years 2012 and 2017 will be investigated in details. Meanwhile, how several beneficial outcomes obtained such as (a) enabling e-collaboration among employees regardless of their location and department, (b) decreasing the cost of organisational communication, (c) integrating organisational software applications and, (d) laying the foundation of participative written organisational memory, will be further explained in this article. In this article the qualitative research approach was adopted and the data collected by observation, interview and document collection techniques. This paper is one of the first studies in which organisational e-collaboration and virtual communities of practice approaches were implemented in a Turkish public sector organisation.
