This presentation brings forth a new way to look at knowledge assessment, by introducing the concept of a "knowledge field" to assess the knowledge of individuals and groups. The knowledge field is very similar to a "electromagnetic field". The idea is to give knowledge assessment a more accurate and reliable process, that will streamline innovation and learning simultaneously.

1. Knowledge Field
A new approach towards knowledge
assessment in the idea economy

2. They are every where...
...and you often use them...

3. ...for important mission in life...
...which must mean that...

4. ...you trust them...
...and they are bit like...

5. ...second nature...
...making you an expert on...

6. ...on how magnets can attract...
...and how...

7. ...magnets can repel stuff...
...allowing things...

8. ...to hover and stand still...
...defy gravity...

9. ...which is a perfect lead...
...to introduce the idea that...

10. ...knowledge...
...needs a force to allow it...

11. ...to rise...
...and that force is...

12. ...a knowledge field...
...which is easy to undestand...

13. ...when we compare it...
...to known ideas...

14. ...but which in reality...
...is more complex than it looks...

15. ...highlighting the fact that we are...
...clueless when it comes ...

16. ...to assessing knowledge...
...which is mind-boggling...

17. ...because we really can't afford...
...to determine whether ideas...

18. ...will work or not...
...until it's too late and we have to...

19. ...deal with the consequences...
...making us unable to...

20. ...fulfill our dreams...
...and enjoy life's blessings...

21. ...our families and friends...
...which should be enough...

22. ...to makes us move urgently...
...in trying to understand...

23. ...how to classify...
...and...

24. ...how to measure...
...and...

25. ...how to amplify...
...knowledge fields...

26. ...from any people or group...
...coming from small...

27. ...or large cities...
...using...

28. ...a rich dimension set that...
...goes well beyond the traditonal...

29. ...list of achievement dates...
...and connections...

30. ...and IQ tests, but instead...
...focuses on documenting...

31. ...in high-definition...
...all those small steps towards...

32. ...an outcome...
...that can start...

33. ...when the first program...
...compiles...

34. ...or when the 50m free style time...
...creates Olympic dreams...

35. ...or when the violin...
...becomes math with sounds...

36. ...or when Adam's Smith...
...finally makes sense...

37. ...or when meditation...
...really relaxes...

38. ...or when it's time...
...to change profession...

39. ...and that focus a lot more...
...on the smiles than in dates...

40. ...and allows easy and secure access...
...to a very large audience...

41. ...that can easily...
... zoom on your...

42. ...knowledge field...
...and understand...

43. ...how you will collaborate...
...with others...

44. ...pursuing...
...the next big thing.

45. So, lets summarize.
The future is about...

46. ...knowledge and efficiency...
...which implies that we need to...

47. ...assess accurately...
...what people really know...

48. ...before it's too late...
...which can only be achieved...

49. ...if we develop a simple procedure...
...to classify, measure and amplify...

50. ...in a transparent way...
...each individual or group's...

51. ...knowledge field...
...so we can...

52. ...focus more on learning...
...and less on...

53. ...advertising...
...and more time...

54. ...to invent the future...
...bringing us to...

55. ...one of those questions...
...that begs an answer...

56. ...what do you know about...
...your knowledge field?

57. I'm truly nuts about...
...anything "knowledge"...

58. ...and I would love to...
...hear from you...

59. ...so please...
...and feel free to...

60. ...or contact me at any time...
...@ http://filipe-pinto.com ...

61. ...before I go...
...for your precious time.
