A founder who spends four months refining a […]
Understanding vs Knowledge : Individuals vs Teams and dynamics of Breakthroughs .
There is a peculiar modern habit of treating “knowledge” and “understanding” as synonyms, filing them both under the same bureaucratic heading: Information We Have Acquired The mistake organisations make is assuming the machinery that generates understanding and the machinery that generates knowledge are the same machinery, just at different scales.
