DIKW inference from spirituality
DIKW (Data Information Knowledge Wisdom) is a common pyramid that you see explaining the relationship between data and how it evolves to wisdom. Isn't that what the IT industry is also doing? We started off with raw data processing in IT industry especially Indian IT and over a period of few years (I presume in couple of decades) we evolved towards knowledge based processing. What went in these 20 years is the value transformation that happened to evolve from just data processing to information to knowledge processing. In this process, we have captured the knowledge as well. If you observe at a minute level you might find the eureka moment of new discovery. Isn't that the wisdom we possess?
Data - raw form
Information - answers the question on What?
Knowledge - answers the question of How to?
Add understanding and interpretation to Knowledge along with keen observation to derive wisdom.
Wisdom - answers the question of What is the best?
If DIKW is the way to move up the value chain(be it life or company) what educates us? Obviously the formal education (an graduation or masters degree) would help in a company whereas spiritual progress is highly necessary to move up the value chain of life. Don't you agree? At least I think so. Mindful observation is the key to the wisdom as explained by Spiritual Gurus.
Using the wisdom, to take appropriate decisions when choices are given to you forms the next path of progress. If only we knew that Karma influences your choices, wouldn't we have been better placed?
