Abstract

Currently, and with almost lightspeed, new advances in both human-centered and technology-driven efforts have led to new methods in obtaining, structuring, and using knowledge. This chapter will look at a newer knowledge structuring effort, the knowledge pyramid (KP), attempting to bring in a philosophy-based term, understanding. Knowledge management (KM) has incorporated the philosophy term ontology as a knowledge structuring tool. The chapter will look at how knowledge sets gotten via knowledge elicitation/management can be used and shared to make any organization more effective. The author will consider how the philosophical concept, understanding, can be used in the on-going debate about the structure of KP. The author's goal is to explicate a new model for eliciting, structuring, using, evaluating knowledge for organizational betterment. This resultant paradigm also points the way to future KP debate and research.
