Attention management

Yesterday my friend Lisa Hong raised the question about alternatives to the current buzz term, knowledge management. In this quantum age of realizing the primacy of knowledge, why not have good language to promote this consciousness. Knowledge is a core driver for all species of innovation and enlightenment.

I think there are two distinctions in the equation: managing the content of we know (knowledge management) and managing the process that creates the space of knowing (attention management). The distinction comes into play when our intention is to create better knowledge. Better management of knowledge may not lead to better knowledge; better management of attention will.
