Knowledge to Action Plan

A knowledge book can best be measured by how well it puts knowledge into Action.
We need to begin our education with an Action Plan – a way to cycle from Knowledge to Action as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The best Treatises pretty much becomes an Action Plan: The Art of War, The Prince, The Strategikon, On Military Camps, De Agricultura, Holy Booksetc…

From the Action Plan we learn to compare it to other Books of Knowledge. We now have a multi attribute model by which we can compare and contrast Books by their Action Plan. An Action Plan as a sequence, prerequisites and constraints, goals and feedback styles and methods. We can compare by these attributes and improve on and identify missing elements. We can take best practice from other fields and apply it into other action plans. We can adapt it to other systems.


So moving forward I’ll try to condense what I learned from the Books I’ve read into an Action Plan. Compare other books by action plan attributes. I could possibly use a Table where categories are filled in so that Books or Knowledge can be compared Apples to Apples/ or in the correct context.


Given this realization:
I need to have my Key Knowledge be in Action Plan form. That I write what I know and how I do things from time to time and update them periodically.


The more I study Processes Oriented Approach, the more I believe we are separated by Training and Systems. Systems as broadly defined as Lifestyle, Culture, and Behavioral norms. Training as broadly defined as the unconscious conditioning our unique experiences have imprinted on us.


Knowledge is best in the form of An Action. Knowledge of certain sophistication comes into the form of an Action Plan. Knowledge from Books and Education are best summarized into an Action Plan. What I know falls under an Action Plan.
