Here are our summaries of the next 2 keynote speeches from day 1 of the 2010 LikeMinds conference: "Our Beautiful Country" by Robyn Brown and "Why the 'We' Generation 'Knows' Different" by Benjamin Ellis.First, "Our Beautiful Country" By Robyn Brown (National Trust)
-Curation isn't new, the NT have lessons to share from their rich history.
-The NT are here for the spiritual refreshment of the nation.
-Many people said the National Trust is a good thing, but not a good thing for them.
-The NT are getting into the digital age and ‘going local’.
-They want to engage with people by bringing properties to life and engaging with the community.
And next up, "Why the 'We' Generation 'Knows' Different" By Benjamin Ellis (Redcatco)
-We don’t think about the things we’re immersed in. This is particularly true in the case of technology.
-A lot of business is now based on barely planned behaviour: lots of consensus-based micro- decisions rather than large, single decisions with accountability.
-There are 2 types of knowledge.
-Explicit knowledge: the kind of factual information you learn at school.
-Tacit knowledge: rich, complex knowledge particularly useful in business.
-If we want to make information useful, we need to create structures around it. We need to curate.
-Knowledge is contextual to a situation, whereas wisdom is a knowledge that can be generalised into situations we haven’t encountered yet.
-The way to turn knowledge to wisdom is by telling stories.
-We need to frame knowledge with narratives, because that’s how people are designed.
-Its important to separate what we know from what we don't know from what we don't know we don't know.
