Part two - addition -
Perhaps the problem is that we assume that we use - almost - the same
perspective: a consultant on "Knowledge Management" assumes that his or
her frame - 'knowing how to know' is the same frame the manager or client
uses. Even when this is the case - which i doubt - the managed may still
assume a different frame. Also, the frame may change over time: we start
out with a neutral or positive attitude towards "KM", but aquire a
different perspective when we see how it works in practice. We do not
usually test these assumptions. We as yet have no developed a full set of
"formal" means of exchanging frames of reference, means for meaning, if
you get my meaning".

PS: the very wise consultant i mentioned repetitively said "you don't
know" ("weet je niet" in Dutch) when he was expressing his views. I try to
mimick this behaviour, but it is very very hard for me.
