Tacit Knowledge and Scaling UP

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

“…We know more than we can tell” - this phrase not just speaks, but shouts to me. When I think about our efforts to scale up at a rate the demands require yet keep the integrity our reputation requires, I wonder…just how do we pass on and share our tacit knowledge as SIM PDers? As we look at our certification process, what things do we need to do to pass on and share this tacit knowledge effectively and efficiently? Your thoughts?

Book #2 “The New Division of Labor; How Computers are Creating the Next Job Market” by Frank Levy and Richard Murnane

Monday, November 6th, 2006

Now that we have read how our world is flattening and the significant role technology plays in this flattening; it is time to look more closely at this impact and education. Our next book in the StratReaders list looks at how computers enhance our lives; how they force us humans to idenitfy and evaluate our “value add”; what is industry doing to tap into technology AND human value add; and how can public education do the same.

This book was featured at the kaleidoscope session this summer at the July conference. So, grab a book, find some time, curl up, read, and share your thoughts.
