Mastery

When we work in networks,

one of our main jobs

is getting stuff out of our heads

and sharing with others.

PKMA set of processes,

individually constructed, to help each of us

Personal – according to one’s abilities, interests & motivation - not directed by external forces !

Knowledge – connecting information to experience - know what, know who, know how !

Mastery – getting things done in a disciplined manner - not being managed.
