Welcome to Knowledge Flow
This book is not a walk in the park. You will enter the Fireswamp of modern knowledge work — where the Six Dominant Delusions shape how we think, work, and pretend to know. You'll discover the Six Inconceivable Truths ... only if you do the work. Practice! Don't worry, it's worth it ... you'll see.
Core Knowledge Flow Practices
We all have a “drink more water” problem: something hilariously simple that refuses to actualize, no matter how much we “know.” This chapter shows how advice, willpower, and generic “best practices” collapse without the right conditions for action. Knowledge work depends on six core competencies (Perceiving, Diagnosing, Connecting, Creating, Launching, Learning) that turn information into embodied practice.
Knowledge Infrastructure
Understanding comes from active engagement. Discovering unknowns, a “splinter in your mind”. Artifacts (documents, decisions, models) are the knowledge vehicles -- and they travel over an infrastructure. Every organization has a knowledge infrastructure. It's lack of design is our biggest impediment.
