A backbone framework: Information work, challenges and the digital advantages

You will find in several earlier posts that I am trying to identify tools and methods for people to become more effective and more efficient in handling information. In information-intensive economies where value in particular depends on the processes of adding value to information, more people than ever before can profit from the insights gained. What I am interested in covers, among others, three areas: First, I am interested in the processes of perception and information or knowledge work per se. Second, I try to find out where the challenges are to become more effective and more efficient at processing information. Third, finally, I try to look at how knowledge workers can leverage a digital environment to produce better results and to reach more people who can profit from them. This post here gives you a brief introduction in how I structure my work.

The backbone of the framework for knowledge workers that I am currently working on consists of four layers: strategy, management, knowledge and output.

Learning as the link between data and information to knowledge

As I have mentioned before (here ), learning is very closely connected to knowledge. What exactly makes the difference between knowledge, information and data? The illustration below summarizes these different factors and how they interdepend.

 

The image shows how data bits can become information and are transferreable into knowledge thereafter

 

What’s in it for you? A personal knowledge management framework can make you earn more and become more satisfied

After a rather long time without maintaining this blog I will over the course oft the following weeks post several entries to present a framework that I have been developing „offline“ over the last weeks or so. Let me start by highlighting the aim of the upcoming work. I have started this page as a test environment for a personal knowledge management system. Personal knowledge management is not new to the world and it’s promise is an environment for the individual to efficiently store and leverage resources in the production of output which is aimed at specific audiences.

The significance of digital information

I should have posted this a while back, but now the new vid has been released and amazed me just as much as the first one. So here is the classic from February of this year:

and here is the one released this month
