Applying this Dimension
The Knowledge Dimension addresses the need for continual learning, innovation and transformation to succeed long-term in a rapidly changing world. Principles in this dimension also help us:
Create an inclusive team environment where decision making is improved by challenge.
Use measures and good economic thinking to understand and face reality.
Build and strengthen knowledge networks.
Develop well-designed experiments that help us learn quickly.

Applying the five dimensions often requires reflection, asking questions, and discussion. Below are some prompts to get you started.
- For Everyone
- For Supervisors
Continually learning to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
- How can I improve my knowledge networks to better innovate and transform? In what ways can I better share knowledge and motivate others to do the same?
- What information, measures and principles would help me understand which parts of my work are profitable? What do I need to start, stop, change or improve?
- How can I better provide and solicit beneficial challenges and use them to help me and others improve?
- What experiments would enable us to learn how to increase profitability?
These are the Knowledege Dimension questions from “Using the Five Dimensions to Identify and Close Gaps in Your Work”
Enable every team member to learn and improve so they can better help us succeed in a rapidly changing world.
