Organisational perspective (supporting learning)
- First, knowledge is created via reflection/ communication/ informal learning – hidden K
- Then, it’s recognised by an organisation as existing – mapped K
- Next, channels to distribute this K are created – channelled K:
- K in formal learning programs (organisation-wide, critical, more or less easy to transfer, larger chunks) - courses and so on
- K in “KM sources” (specific, critical, smaller chunks, audience or pay back are not clear) – communities, knowledge repositories
- embedded K – procedures, core competencies, organisational structures and so on
- Finally, people learn, so we get internalised K and apply it (used K)
Individual perspective (learning)
- Recognised K gap (I don’t have it, but I need it) – missing K
- Finding K sources – located K
- Learning
- K in formal learning programs – formal learning + side: informal, incidental learning
- K in “KM sources” – semiformal learning + side informal, incidental learning
- embedded K – informal, incidental learning (could be formal or semiformal if explicitly included)
- hidden K – informal, incidental learning
- As a result - internalised K and – if we are lucky :) – applied K
Ideas on the way:
- channelled K should be the same as organisational K
- It seems that I’m arriving to authority-directed/ mediated/ self-directed/ unintended learning taxonomy of The Adult Learner: The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource Development
- Could be good to take a look in curriculum consistency classification
- I should draw something to make it easier to digest :)
