Framework for Understanding Knowledge Categories PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 31-slide 7 Skills of Knowledge Work PowerPoint presentation, outlines 4 distinct categories of knowledge essential for understanding various aspects of a subject or task. Each category—Know-what, Know-why, Know-who, and Know-how—represents a unique dimension of knowledge applicable in professional settings.

Know-what focuses on factual information and details about specific subjects. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the components of a task. For instance, a software developer must grasp programming languages and their functionalities. This foundational knowledge is crucial for executing tasks effectively.

Know-why delves into the reasoning and principles behind events or phenomena. It requires a deeper understanding of the theories that explain why things operate as they do. An example provided is the necessity for marketers to comprehend the underlying principles of successful campaigns. This insight enables professionals to make informed decisions based on the rationale behind their strategies.

Know-who pertains to networking and relationship-building. It highlights the significance of knowing the right people who can assist in achieving goals. This type of knowledge is vital for job seekers or professionals looking to connect with individuals who can provide valuable information or resources. Understanding who to approach can significantly impact success in various endeavors.

Know-how is about the practical application of skills and expertise necessary to perform specific tasks. It involves hands-on experience and training, illustrating the need for continuous learning. For example, coding requires not only theoretical knowledge, but also the ability to practice and refine skills.

Overall, this slide serves as a framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of knowledge in the workplace, emphasizing that each category plays a critical role in professional success.

This slide is part of the 7 Skills of Knowledge Work PowerPoint presentation.
