Eight Principles for the Point of Knowledge – Where Business Rules Happen

Written by Ronald G. Ross on June 5, 2013. Posted in Business Rules, Knowledge Economy

We are already living in a knowledge economy – let’s start acting like it! It’s know-how (business rules) that makes your company smart. Let’s get to the point of that knowledge.

1. All know-how expressed in business terms – no ITSpeak.
2. All know-how presented/applied selectively in exactly-as-needed fashion.
3. All know-how presented/applied in ‘just-in-time’ fashion.
4. All interactions gauged to the knowledge level of the role and the person.
5. All workers enabled to ‘play up’ to level of ablest workers.
6. All decisions made 100% consistently – no exceptions (except intentionally).
7. All applications of business rules traceable and transparent.
8. All know-how managed directly – by business people and business analysts.
