Replying to LO7698 --

"Managers need to be able to provide the system with the knowledge it
needs." Sure - just like everyone else. Managers don't have *the*
special knowledge that everyone needs. They have some of the knowledge
that everyone needs.

Managers are part of the hologram and their knowledge contains all of the
knowledge by being part of it, by being connected to the whole, by their
existence in the system. This is exactly the same for everyone else.

The difference is in the particular bright focus of information that each
person, specialty, etc has. It is this sharing from the whole rather than
as a separate being to the whole which is wanted.

By focussing on management and its information as "more equal" than the
others misses what is possible for organisational intelligence.

I believe that the organisation of a learning organisation must realise
this and begin to design its connections, relationships, communication
accordingly.
