ABSTRACT:
We have been talking for hundreds of years about learning and knowledge
management. Machine Learning, Statistical Learning and Organizational
Learning emerge from various scientific roots. Each one has a specific
jargon, methods, tools, and conceptualization process. However, the
purpose is one: Understand the learning process and how to create valuable
knowledge. Organizations need to improve computational capacity and
discover methods for solving more complex problems to be more intelligent.
Organizations need to find the way to use the huge arsenal of methods for
strengthening people's action to add value to their work. In this talk we
are going to review opportunities and limitations of the development of
Statistical, Machine and Organizational Learning as separated fields for
enhancing learning and knowledge processes to add value. This talk
concentrates on value creation through knowledge, meaning development,
understanding improvement for supporting problem-solving and
decision-making processes in organizations.
