A reflective, strategic, learning culture has all the tools the organization needs to be wise. <br /><br />A wise organization is the kind of company you admire, shake your head, and say "Man, they always much such smart choices."Christopher Parsonshttp://www.knowledge-architecture.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585040184982733654.post-60304888924994313532010-08-23T17:34:40.929+01:002010-08-23T17:34:40.929+01:00I quite like your definition of wisdom - I dont ha...I quite like your definition of wisdom - I dont have a definition of wisdom, and I feel it is a personal attribute and is very difficult to influence or deliberately develop. If I had a definition, it would certainly be something to do with application of knowledge. <br /><br />I am unconvinced as yet that there is such a thing as organizational wisdom. I might be wrong of course.Nick Miltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413967879826601863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585040184982733654.post-48052235996795991922010-08-23T16:54:06.753+01:002010-08-23T16:54:06.753+01:00Nick,

This post was timely as I was just having a similar conversation about what these words mean to me with my wife yesterday. We came to roughly the same definitions that you did. <br /><br />What's your definition of wisdom / organizational wisdom?<br /><br />Mine is something along the lines of:<br /><br />"Making smart choices about how to apply the knowledge you've acquired over time based on reflection and experience."<br /><br />Thoughts?<br /><br />ChrisChristopher Parsonshttp://www.knowledge-architecture.comnoreply@blogger.com
