I was writing generically, since your original tweet didn't reveal your context. <br /><br />It certainly wasn't my intention to disrespect a specific group of people. You were talking about the possibility that unstructured knowledge might hinder the collective intelligence of a group, and my framework simply provides a number of alternative explanations for this kind of obstacle and therefore several alternative ways of overcoming it.<br /><br />If there is a mismatch between the demands of a specific business process and the abilities of a group of people to make sense of (or impose a meaningful structure onto) the available knowledge, there could be several things we could look at improving inside the group: skills, tools and techniques, communication styles, <br />motivation, group structure. Or we might look at redesigning the process, including perhaps preprocessing the knowledge in some way. I'm interesting in finding some combination of improvements that helps people fulfil their individual potential within intelligent organizations, because I tend to think this is good for both the individual and the organization.Richard Veryardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499123397533975655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106782.post-4409699553544262332010-10-13T14:20:13.669+01:002010-10-13T14:20:13.669+01:00I'm intrigued by your paragraph starting with ...I'm intrigued by your paragraph starting with "The discovery of..."<br /><br />To put my question into context: The mentioned group is a "group of people that has to (or: is trying to) execute a business process".<br /><br />The choice you give: "People cannot be bothered or cannot make sense of it." is an answer that's not painting a pretty picture. For the business and for the people in the group. :-)Stefan Drevermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432565751512506813noreply@blogger.com
