Knowledge-Sharing Synergy Workshop
Agenda for Friday 6th July 2007
What is knowledge?
How can we find synergies in systems that share it?
"Information is the flow, and knowledge is the stock"... "Knowledge is created by accumulating information. Thus information is a necessary medium or material for eliciting and constructing knowledge." (Nonaka, 1996).
"Knowledge is internalised by the knower, and as such is 'shaped' by their existing perceptions and experiences" (Hey, 2004).
This is the third of Four Synergy Workshops
- The previous workshops were our Data-Sharing synergies Workshop and Information-Sharing synergies Workshop
We will be inviting 8 knowledge experts to help us:
- Define what knowledge is.
- Look for synergies in systems that share it
Experts will work in four different groups that will explore different aspects of Knowledge and Knowledge-sharing:
- The Pushing Doing group will explore aspects of 'Sticky', viscous knowledge (Explicit Knowledge
)
- While the New knowing group will explore aspects of 'Leaky', fluid knowledge (Tacit Knowledge)
- The Envisioning group will explore some ideas relating to Knowledge management
- While the Languaging group will explore aspects of Knowledge Communication
- Designers can benefit from knowledge ecology.
- This is the sharing of knowledge across different groups of individuals.
- Think tanks and networks are a modern interdisciplinary way to anticipate and identify issues before they become problems.
- They can be used to formulate new and appropriate solutions with a complex and fragmented world.
- See also Howard Bloom's idea of a Global brain
What is the role of Synergy?
- The m21 project seeks a viable alternative to ecological design
- By creating tools for metadesign we hope to generate synergy.
- As synergy was a vague concept we created 4 Orders of Synergy
