Abstract

The study of various knowledge creation approaches (like operations research, systems thinking, cybernetics, complexity, knowledge management, and scientific method) leads to the development of a framework describing a sufficient capability for trans-disciplinary knowledge innovation and knowledge creation. This is done by looking at knowledge creation as a complex phenomenon, and using an appropriate approach, as found in the Cynefin Framework. The proposed knowledge innovation framework highlights the various aspects to be developed in order to define a capability which can be used for knowledge innovation, scientific problem solving, and quality assurance for knowledge work. This framework can be seen as a ‘knowledge technology’ that can be developed and implemented like any other technology.
