Double Loop Learning
McElroy’s development of the Argyris theory is a good example applied to KM
KMCI paper (.pdf)

McElroy document (.pdf)

Distinction between Knowledge and Information
I’ve opted for this paper by Jon Kolko as it situates the distinction between K & I within generative processes where new knowledge is created rather than a priori knowledge stored and shared

Emergent Mind
While seeking Croft’s original paper I stumbled upon this somewhat more accessible introduction – thank you KCafe!

Enjoy!
