The document discusses how analytics can be applied to learning and knowledge. It notes that with big data and social media, the world is becoming more data-driven and our actions are increasingly leaving digital traces. It questions how organizations can understand how information and power structures influence knowledge sharing, activities, and innovation. It explores how people can make sense of abundance through social processes and networks to achieve coherence and growth of knowledge.
