Adding Context And Facilitating Dialogue

Adding Context And Facilitating Dialogue

  • Unless someone verifies, organizes and curates an information resource, it has little value because it is disconnected from other relevant resources in the same information space
  • Curation provides context to any information item, value and a specific perspective and story to look at and appreciate.
  • Any information resource gains greater value and usefulness when curated.
  • Curation is not finite, definitive, static, or complete. Rather curation promotes and invites questioning, participation, contributions, improvements, and revisions in a never-ending process.

Curation is Naturally Implied Intelligence

  • When there is a lot of something, our natural, spontaneous instinct is to organize it, group it and separate the wheat from the chaff.
  • Curation helps you save time by providing easy and organized access to information and resources otherwise difficult to find and verify.
  • To curate effectively you must be driven by more than just compensation.
  • You need to dive and immerse yourself completely into a subject to be a subject matter expert or to become one.

  • Save people time by bringing right into focus key stories, resources, information and tools that have already been vetted, sorted and organized by subject-matter experts.

The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

Curation promotes a critical thinking attitude and a more comprehensive-holistic-organic view on any subject, instead of the simplistic black / white, true / false perspective adopted in most situations today.

It puts the human individual back in the driver's seat, electing him/her as the preferred guide to discover, investigate, and learn any subject, not by way of referring, passing on, or refining what reported by others but by actually questioning, vetting, gathering diverse voices and viewpoints into a cohesive whole.
