[The Business of Knowing] That is the difference between theory (information) and practice (knowledge). However, tacit, intuitive knowledge comes to us when we've had many years of idiot drivers pulling out of the middle lane of the motorway without warning.

[Technopreneurship Notes] Tacit and Explicit Knowledge « Technopreneurship Notes: First, forcing employees to convert their tacit into explicit knowledge can take its toll on their morale.

[Bex Huff - blog about technology, lifehacks, and ecm] Enterprise 2.0: What It Is, and How You'll Fail | Bex Huff: I think the emphasis on failing (preferably fast) is key, especially in light of the recent Deloitte "research" published in part in the WSJ. We'll see more of this failure documentation over the next year, both as a way to set off why this or that big firm or vendor as different and as an "I told you so" from naysayers.

[Masteroftheuniverse's Weblog] Idiot Savant « Masteroftheuniverse’s Weblog: It must have been 1986  during the grain market doldrums that a guy named Ben showed up at the exchange to try his hand at trading in the pit.  He leased a seat from me, and ended up clearing through one of the firms with an account of $25,000 cash that he had inherited.  Ben was an interesting sort, very nice, polite, and a kindness that belied the fact that he just got off the farm.  However, he had one slight problem……he was as dumb as a rock.  I’m not talking non studious, ill informed, mis-informed, poorly read, I’m talking stupid, dumb as a rock, cottage cheese in the brain..  He was barely literate, and had trouble even reading the simplest book.  I was surprised that he could even fill out the exchange application form.  His first day in the pit, he asked me how much the margin was for wheat, and I told him $600 per contract which it was in those days.  The market opened  at 9:30 and he bought 50,000 bushels of wheat right at the open.  An hour later, March wheat was up 7-8 cents and he heard a bid for 50,000 bushels of wheat, and he sold it right then.  He quit for the day, and showed up the next morning.  At the open, he sold 100,000 bushels of wheat, and got it off at the high of the day.  He bought the wheat back near the close when it was down 10 cents.  The next day, he sold 100,000 bushels of wheat and pulled 5-6 cents out of it.  He managed to profit on every trade, one decent size trade a day for six weeks without having a losing trade.  Because of his lack of intelligence and basic conversational skills, he became an object of curiosity in the pit.  He never made bids or offeres, preferring to hit a bid or offer that had size.  One day, he didn’t show up at the open, and I was surprised that he wasn’t there. That was the day that Chernobyol blew up and the wheat market went schizo.  That first day of Chernobyl, he finally showed up at one PM, fifteen minutes before the close.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC NEWS | The Reporters | Betsan Powys: I really doesnt think it does much good denigrating two major world class firms like Ford/Sony who have been here 40 years and employed thousands of welsh people on terms and conditions that they have been very happy with.There are "economic"laws that presumably even PC cannot alter without changing the world completely. I couldimagine the "fuss" our one nation masters would make today if they could get such level of investment any where in wales.
