Episode 8 of Success and Inner Growth discusses the relationship between information and knowledge. Afterwards, I define the main concepts of the topic. In a next step we have a closer look at relationship between knowledge and information. In the end, I ask how knowledge can help us creating value, thus earning an income.
I organised the main point of today’s discussion into three groups. They are:
What is information?
- Our 5 senses as data sources for our brain
- From data to information
- How the brain filters the datastream coming from our senses
- Definition of information
- Relevance, timeliness and credibility
- The value of information
What is knowledge, and how does it work?
- Knowledge as a vault of structured and validated information
- Limits of absolute truth
- Validating information
- What kind of data should be admitted into a knowledge vault
Knowledge as a wonderful tool to create value
- Validating information on demand
- Providing context
- Asking the right questions
- And finally: How knowledge can guide us fromthe confrontation with a disturbing pieces of information to a planned response.
