Dr. Gerhard Wohland is one of the free German thinkers regarding Knowledge. His main points are that there is dead and life in any company and system. The larger a company is – the more likely they try to standardise every process, make it repeatable and create value from generating a small margin within a mass market. Companies are used to this behaviour and so they manage knowledge: They collect it, separtes it, make it a document and try to dobble it by sharing. But – as he points out – this behaviour is industrial and does not create solutions in dynamic situations. Only talents – people who can see, understand and think in new ways, can find a new idea out of a dynamic situation. We cannot copy or put talent in a database. We can only ask “who will be the one?” and “how can we provide the space for them to think?”
