What Is Knowledge synthesis?

Apply knowledge synthesis deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that knowledge synthesis directly affects.

Why Does Knowledge synthesis Matter?

Knowledge synthesis matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by knowledge synthesis can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying knowledge synthesis may:

  • uses knowledge synthesis deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by knowledge synthesis
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what knowledge synthesis requires

How to Develop Knowledge synthesis

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where knowledge synthesis is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles knowledge synthesis and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger knowledge synthesis would have changed the result
