Limits of imagination and creativity: Talent and innovation in knowledge management, the Organizational intelligence model

Abstract

This article seeks to dimension talent as a natural faculty of the Information and Knowledge Society’s worker, as a strategic objective to develop knowledge management culture in organizations, through the

stimulation and development of innovation. This proposal opposes to creativity and imagination as unlimited human faculties, conceived as ideal ways to problem-solving in the productive world of the organization, where spontaneity in the production of productive ideas is far from its application and viability. For that purpose, the article begins by the theoretical and philosophical reflexive analysis of Aristotle’s view of knowledge, its object and subject. Likewise, from Prusak’s, Davenport’s and Nonanka’s rhetorical production of knowledge in the organization. In the second part, as an empirical contribution, the article presents the Organizational Intelligence method as an approach to knowledge management, which requires organizations to plan, organize, manage and develop knowledge.
