Information relates to description, definition, or perspective (what, who, when, where). Knowledge comprises strategy, practice, method, or approach (how). Wisdom embodies principle, insight, moral, or archetype (why). [Knowledge and Learning Solutions] Greg - do you have a link to the website for these definitions? It might be interesting to be able to put them in context or to dig deeper into some of the definitions. For example, what do you think they meant by 'archetype?' [Jim McGee: McGee's Musings - TEC924] Jim - Here is the link.  I liked this site and the article http://www.outsights.com/systems/kmgmt/kmgmt.htm#bel97b. I particularly like the ideas shown in the chart, that: Data are points in space and time without reference to space or time Information understands relations about data Knowledge understands patterns of information Wisdom understands principles of knowledge In other words, each builds on understanding and context of the prior one.  Anyway, with regards to "archetype" I think they are referring to an enlightened "best practice" about life, an abstraction that may come from the combination of multiple experiences and ultimately results in a principle that appies to many situations.  But, quite honestly, I'm not sure what they mean.  9:10:23 PM     The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is to increase the productivity of knowledge work and the knowledge worker.
