Dear Mark!
I've read this Public Dialog on Learning Organizations regularly when I
was written my final work on masters study on the Faculty for
organizational sciences in Kranj, Slovenia.
And I've got a lot ideas and links. Nowadays I read it (too) rarely. So I
am really glad to "catch" your thoughts.
I would like to add that I have troubles to express in English.
I do not agree with you that knowledge is information. It is more than
information, more complex.
You wrote:...
>But knowledge is always information (which can include
>data) that we regard as true. So knowledge is a type of information, and
>is not separate and distinct from it. Knowledge is true information...
I often tell this example to tell the distinction between the data and
information:
The weather report is: It will be sunny. OK - it is the data.
Because the weather report is: It will be sunny, I will go hiking.
This is information. I've got the data about the sunny weather and I decide
to go hiking.
Where is there knowledge? I haven't seen it.
I would like to upgrade this example with knowledge. Could you, please, help
me?
Dear India
As I mentioned before, I was bounded by organizattional system in my answer.
Thank you to you answer. I've yust found how much I have to learn!
I also agree with you that it is important that knowledge moves. Have you
heard about the knowledge spiral by Nonaka and Takeuchi?
