Dave Snowden's famous comment about knowledge is that "we know more
than we can say, and we can say more than we can write down". In his
case it has taken him four years to write the book on complex adaptive
systems that he teaches in a three day course, and in neither the book
nor the course could he hope to explain more than a fraction of all
that he has learned on the subject.<BR /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/categories/businessInnovation/2006/11/14.html"><P>

discussions of each tool or skill</SPAN>):<BR /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/categories/businessInnovation/2006/11/14.html"><DIV class="itemTitle"><B><A class="weblogItemTitle" href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/categories/businessInnovation/2006/11/14.html%23a1695">Adding Meaning & Value to Information -- Final Presentation</A></B></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/82332C6A-C960-4631-9DED-2B95300B6091/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
