This … “What we don’t measure, largely because we can’t, is experience and its nature. I accept that in many cases, those with twenty-five years of experience have one year’s experience on repeat for twenty-five years, but for others, twenty-five years reflects a web of connections and reflections that are part of an unmeasurable social and professional mycelium.” … is changing because of people like Iain McGilchrist. The distinction he makes is between left brain analytics (data) and right brain embodied intuition (sensory experience). The beauty is that it is contained in stories, conversations, and relationships of respect and trust. The enterprise immediately becomes creative. We write a book, produce a film, record a song, or start doing a podcast. We first connect, then we join together. Not as workers, but as people with twenty-five years of pent-up creativity to express. Watch what happens over the next twenty five years. A Renaissance will emerge to replace the cold, dead data that has lost it’s explanatory power.
