Modeling Knowledge
"Excessive focus on explicit knowledge leads to paralysis by analysis.”
“Only when tacit and explicit knowledge interact can innovation occur.”
Ikujiro Nonaka, The Knowledge Advantage

Storytelling
If you want understanding, you have to reenter the human world of stories.
If you don’t have a story, you don’t have understanding.

Silos
• The fundamental challenge of Knowledge Management is the “silo problem”
• The problem is deeper than just a “mentality” or attitude
• We are compelled to create this problem each time we create knowledge – because meaning is contextual!
