- "Is Knowledge Management a passing fashion or something deeper? Knowledge Management is essential for business competitiveness today, just as Data Management once was and, later on, Information Management. And just like these two, machines will soon learn (from us) to manage knowledge by themselves. But Knowledge is the ability to use criteria to take action, based on a repository of information (experience) which falls within the framework of a value system. At that point, machines will apply criteria, but which value system will machines manage? There is a danger that machines will "inherit" the selfish values of the neo-liberal economy and tax-collecting states. In that scenario, the danger is that the information repositories will only consider the interests of the strongest (the Organisation), ignoring those of the individual. Conflict seems inevitable. Therefore, we should be prepared for a new cycle in which knowledge is lined up with the common good. A practice which not only seeks the good of particular companies, but also goes beyond this to seek the good of the Individual, Society and the Earth. The final frontier should be Wisdom Management, where technological systems inherit man's virtues rather than his selfishness. Knowledge should serve to improve the world, not to control it. Knowledge and Good should lead us to the era of Wisdom."
