It may be structured, for example, records and documents, or unstructured, for example, carried in people’s heads. Ideally, the information about the work of an organisation is stored and accessible from its intranet. Information about staff expertise is listed in a people directory. • Knowledge is information that has been put into productive use, made actionable. It is only of value when shared and applied! • Wisdom is knowledge that has been combined and enriched by peoples’ insights and experience.
