  6. Data, Information, Knowledge • Data– raw facts; numbers • Information – data in context; readily captured in documents and databases • Knowledge– information plus experience to act upon

  7. Knowledge • Information that is contextual, relevant and actionable • Knowledge is INFORMATION IN ACTION • Higher than data and information

  8. Crucial Concepts for Knowledge Management Information = Knowledge • Information is digitisable • Knowledge exists in intelligent systems

  9. Knowledge Types • Explicit knowledge • Tacit knowledge

  10. Explicit Knowledge • Objective, rational, technical • Easily documented • Easily transferred / taught / learned

  11. Tacit Knowledge • Subjective, cognitive, experiential learning • Hard to document • Hard to transfer / teach / learn • Involves a lot of human interpretation

  16. SOCIAL VALUE CREATION

  17. Knowledge Mangement “The wise see knowledge and action as one” (Bhagvad Gita). Intelligent organizations recognize that knowledge is an asset, perhaps the only one that grows over time, and when harnessed effectively can sustain the ability to continuously compete and innovate.

  18. Knowledge Circulation

  19. Old Economy New Economy “Push” Focus “Pull” Focus INTELLECTUAL/ BRAND CAPITAL Production Focus Customer Focus HUMAN CAPITAL High Low WORKING CAPITAL Low High PHYSICAL CAPITAL (Outsourced Network) In today’s economy business models are changing towards decapitalized New Economy

  20. What is the difference between USING KNOWLEDGEfor “Entrepreneurship” and for “Social Entrepreneurship”?

  21. DIFFERENCES Purposes, not tools and techniques Benefits, not efficiency and efficacy Stakeholders, not skills and competences Methodology, not topics and approaches

  22. Where are the differences? • Purposes: to transfer modern knowledge, tools and techniques, to fill the social and human gap generated by modern economies thus not neglecting economic laws • to ensure longterm sustainability by putting the Human at the Centre of the System, not the high Capital-gains • to ensure corporate social responsibility and thus create wellbeing society for a difference welfare state

  23. Benefits:to increase quality and quantityof opportunities for competence bulding and work for people with different abilities, not neglecting basic market economy principles, efficiency and efficacy in social enterprising….

  24. Developing Stakeholders instead Shareholders communities:all the People, all the Civil Society, because everyone is affected directly or indirectly by the social-economic environments discrepancies and everyone can sooner or later became part of “disadvantaged group”, pushed at the edges of mainstream

  25. Methodology:strongly focused on combining “cold” tools and techniques to improve efficiency and efficacy with “warm” human values, environmental care and human rights; personal development growth, social capital growth, etc… • to adapt those tools and techniques to specific Country/Region/Ethnic Group characteristics (social structure, economic structure, environment, demographic structure, geography…….)
