    • Knowledge is the accumulation of information, while wisdom is the application of knowledge with discernment.
    • Knowledge workers focus on information, while wisdom workers integrate experience and intuition.
    • Knowledge management organizes information, while wisdom management guides decision-making. Wisdom-based management combines knowledge and insight for effective leadership and decision-making.
    • Meaning of knowledge: Knowledge refers to awareness and understanding gained through study, experience, or education, including facts, information, skills, and concepts.
    • Knowledge can be explicit (represented through books, documents) or tacit (from personal experiences). It's foundational for problem-solving, decision-making, and innovation.
    • Meaning of wisdom: Wisdom goes beyond knowledge – it's the ability to apply knowledge judiciously based on experience, insight, and good judgment. It involves understanding the long-term implications and ethical consequences of decisions. Wisdom is associated with emotional intelligence, empathy, and a broader perspective on life.
    • Difference between knowledge and wisdom:
      • Nature: Knowledge is gathering information, while wisdom is applying that knowledge judiciously.
      • Scope: Knowledge is about knowing what, wisdom is knowing how and when to apply that knowledge.
      • Source: Knowledge comes from learning, while wisdom comes from experience and reflection.
      • Application: Knowledge is usually straightforward, while wisdom is nuanced, considering broader implications.
    • Knowledge worker vs. wisdom worker:
      • Knowledge worker: Primarily deals with information, data, and knowledge. Focuses on processing information, continuous learning, problem-solving, and specialized skills.
      • Wisdom worker: Possesses knowledge and integrates it with understanding, ethical considerations, and broader perspectives. Goes beyond routine application and makes sound decisions.
    • Concept of Knowledge Management (KM): A systematic approach to capturing, organizing, storing, and distributing organizational knowledge assets. Aims to enhance efficiency, innovation, and decision-making.
    • Key elements of KM: Capture and codification; storage and organization; distribution and sharing; Continuous Learning; Technology Integration; Measuring Impact.
    • Concept of Wisdom Management (WM): Builds on KM by emphasizing ethical decision-making, holistic perspectives, and a deep understanding of the consequences of actions. Focuses on experiential learning, ethical considerations, and long-term sustainability.
    • Key components of WM: Ethical decision-making, balancing short-term and long-term goals, human-centered leadership, emotional intelligence and empathy, collaborative decision-making.
