Advisory Service Toolkit:To build an Advisory Service, it is important to have the right staffing. This section provides two kinds of tools in this area: Job profiles and job descriptions. In order to develop job descriptions/TORs, it is important to have standard job profiles for the organization.

Knowledge Management/Knowledge Sharing job profiles
Together the World Bank Institute and Human Resources developed five different levels of profiles for Knowledge Management/ Knowledge Sharing (KM/KS), by analyzing the positions of staff working on KM/KS at the Bank. The conclusion of this comprehensive analysis is that KM/KS activities tend to focus on discovery, creation and offering of content, as opposed to building structure which is done by librarians, website developers and information management specialists. This is an important distinction which should be highlighted. The team developed 5 distinct job profiles:
