Today, I reviewed my PKM portfolio against the PKM framework proposed by Avery et al (2001). The framework has 7 skills of (1) Retrieving, (2) Evaluating, (3) Organising, (4) Collaborating, (5) Analysing, (6) Presenting and (7) Securing. I was surprise that I am lacking the sense of securing information. I have no tools to protect my information. Is it important to me? Yes, I am sure it is important but what can I do ... Not sure if you have the same situation, something you know it is important but do nothing on it. What else do I miss? Analysing? I am sure that I have not analysed all information available to me but what is the difference between evaluating. I read, classify and write notes. Am I analysing every time if the information is useful for me when I collect it? I am not sure. I don't want to miss any information that I put effort to collect it and just store it to my database. Seems analysing is only happen when I am using it, my question to ask in my mind is if the information related to what I am looking for. It is the process inside my mind and seems no tools can help. I think it is the most important skill in PKM as whether you able to turn information to knowledge and can turn knowledge to wisdom is by analysing. What else am I missing in my PKM portfolio? How about you? Please share with me.
