Knowledge is Music (et vice-versa) (0)

J’ai lu il y a quelques jours dans le magazine Inside Knowledge, édition de septembre 2006, un extrait du livre The Organizational Zoo : A Survival Guide to Workplace Behavior, qui dresse un parallèle entre la musique et la gestion de connaissances dans le monde de l’entreprise, je recopie :

 »
Music is written, recorded, filed, archived, accessed, performed and used in many ways by different people for different reasons.
We may participate as writer, performer, teacher, critic or just as a listener. We can be influenced by others or be divergent in what we deliver. Music/knowledge can be done very well or very badly by individuals, small or large groups.
In very large groups it usually involves some common documentation in an understood format and structure so that each person knows what part he or she is responsible for and at what stage. The oboe may not always be heard but it intermittently contributes to the harmony, only occasionnally in evidence as a a solo. Trombones, on the other hand, are usually heard every time they contribute.
(…)
Music can be categorised, used, experienced, enjoyed or hated very differently depending on who we are, what we want from it and in what situations we find ourselves.
No wonder we can never agree on what music/knowledge is. It is a thing, a process and a range of other things depending upon our individual perspective. It becomes something different just through our involvment with it. Because we are all doing different things with our music and engaging it with entities differently, we can never collectively agree on exactly what it is.

Le parallèle est intéressant et pour le moins original, et permet de faire émerger des idées. C’est en tous cas une bonne introduction, car on peut comparer la gestion de connaissances à la musique, mais on peut aussi l’appliquer à la musique… c’est ce que je vais essayer de faire, dans un exemple concret de mise en application d’une base de connaissances… à suivre…
