Semoga u all dalam rahmat Allah selalu dan sihat sejahtera kala ni. Well, I just wanna came across with an interesting piece over at one of the article I read last night while searching information for my project work. Tiba2 rasa nak ulas skit pasal article tu. Mmg agak menarik gak article tu. Kalau sape2 nak baca article tu, kat atas tu link dia. Klik je kat link tu. Kalau xleh, just copy and paste link tu kat browser korang. Ada sape2 pernah dgr pasal isu ini. Dulu masa kat UIA dulu pernah jgk dgr org discuss pasal isu ni. Bukan itu saja, pasal isu kontroversi nature versus nurture pun hangat gak dibicarakan suatu ketika dulu. Yelah masa tu xmatang lg. Dgr2 gitu je. Xdelah nak fikir lebih2. Tp skang ni dah umur semakin meningkat, rasa dah mampu and perlu fikir pasal benda2 macam ni.
Actually, I was a little bit sceptic (I mean rasa kurang setuju la skit, "disagree" skit) with this article that argues that possessing competence is actually more important than the “mere acquisition, development, storage, usage, ownership and protection of concepts and facts”. Competence, in this argument, extends beyond just knowing something — it’s more about the practical and useful application of knowledge.
Nampak jelaskan, the authors tu go on to describe a ‘framework of competence’, through which competence can be managed. It’s the authors opinion that competence matters a great deal more than just knowledge, and that by extension, the management of competence is of greater value to an organization than the management of knowledge. (Mmg xnafikan, setiap org ada pendapat serta pandangan peribadi kan. Tp aku rasa knowledge is more important. Apa pendapat korang semua?)
Yet it would seem to me that there is an assumption inherent to the phrase ‘knowledge management’ (rightly or wrongly) that assumes that knowledge is, in fact, applied information. Not that I want to open the (very tired) data-information-knowledge(-wisdom?) can of worms. The interesting part about the word ‘competence’ to me however, is that it denotes something entirely different than what is denoted by the data-information-knowledge hierarchy, and I don’t think ‘competence’ really fits in there hierarchically. Either way, definitely an interesting read.
So apa comment korang semua? Tepuk punggung msg2 and lepas angin. hehe. (apa kaitan pulak tepuk punggung lepas angin ni plk)
