We have a problem. Knowledge is more than knowing something technical. Knowledge needs wisdom, and wisdom comes with age and experience. Wisdom is about knowing how something technical can be best used to meet the needs of people. Wisdom comes from living.
Wisdom creates software that is useful, rather than technically brilliant.
Wisdom creates a website that understands the needs of the person that uses the website, rather than a website that is an ego-boost for its creator. We need more wisdom apprentices in the world. We need to re-focus on people as fonts of wisdom and knowledge, and not fall prey to the latest illusory school of 'Wisdom Management'. Gerry McGovern is the founder of Nua .
