The centerpiece of our application and approach is the recognition that creating new knowledge is not simply a matter of “processing” objective information.  Rather, it depends on tapping interpretation, tacit, explicit and often highly subjective insights, intuition, and hunches of departments, groups and individual employees and making those insights available for making decisions, testing and training by the company as a whole.

Knowledge interpretation is highly personal.  Traditionally, this type of information is very difficult to formalize and, therefore, difficult to communicate to others.  Knowledge interpretation like tacit knowledge is also deeply rooted in action and in an individual’s commitment to a specific context – a craft or profession, a particular technology or product market, or activities of a work group or team.  Knowledge interpretation consists partly of technical skill – the kind of informal hard-to-pin-down skills captured in the “term know-how.”  A master craftsman after years of experience develops a wealth of expertise “at his fingertips.” But he is often unable to articulate the scientific or technical principles behind what he knows. Here are some of the immediate benefits:

• Sustainable competitive advantages by having your organization learn faster than the competition. 
• Eliminate employee learning disabilities that threaten their productivity and by adopting individual and organizational interpreted knowledge – ones in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are captured, and nurtured…collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create results they truly desire.
• Provides a vital dimension in building organizations that can truly “learn,” that can continually enhance their capacity to realize their highest aspirations.
• Provides an organization with the whole pattern of change.  Instead of focusing on snapshots or isolated parts of the organization, and wonder why the deeply rooted problems never get solved.
• Provides a “Body of Knowledge” specific to the company which is valuable and highly subjective insights and intuition that are difficult to capture and share because people carry them in their head.
• Provides an ability to demonstrate and explain the organizational vision with the capacity to hold a shared picture of the future the organization seeks to create.
• Eliminates the questions of how can a team of committed managers with individual IQ’s of 120 have a collective IQ of 63?
• Provide the discipline of team learning which starts with “conversations and exchange of ideas,” the capacity of members of a team needs to suspend their guessing and conjectures and enter into an indisputable “thinking together.”
