The knowledge maturing model presented at the Learning Layers Theory Camp

• The knowledge maturing model is intended to
be an analytical model
– describing collective knowledge development
phenomena
– classifying them into characteristic patterns or
changes of characteristics (via phases)
– deriving technical (tool design) and non-technical
interventions through activities and their
characteristics

• The phase model describes knowledge
development
• Usually we observe and support artefact
development
– Representations of knowledge
• Misalignment of artefacts and knowledge
maturity is often (but not always!) an issue to
be addressed
