If you are the Chief Learning Officer (CLO) of your organization, we want to have a conversation with you. The empires of the future would be built on Knowledge. The Latin aphorism’s “scientia potentia est” [knowledge is power], Francis Bacon’s “ipsa scientia potestas est” [knowledge itself is power], Proverbs 24.5’s “..a man of knowledge increases strength…” and the Igbo Nation’s “a man of knowledge dines with kings” validate one thesis: knowledge rules!
“50 years ago, more than 80% of the value reflected on the balance sheets of Fortune 500 companies was physical stuff—plant, equipment, oil in the ground, inventory on the shelves. Today, more than 85% of the value on the balance sheets of Fortune 500 companies is “intangibles”—intellectual property, brand value, and a host of things more closely tied to human capital than to physical and financial capital. People are today’s value drivers.” – Fortune

It is epistêmê [knowledge in Greek]. CLO, put Knowledge into that firm; we’re here to help. At Tekedia Institute, our output is KNOWLEDGE. And you can validate using Plato’s three necessary and sufficient conditions: believable proposition, true proposition and good-reasons proposition, just like my professor in FUTO (Rev Ashiegbu) explained many years ago in my first year of university education.

Comment: ipsa scientia potestas est, knowledge and power are inseparable, sharing direct proportionality.
My Response: Yes indeed, knowledge = power. It has been like that since Ancient Egypt when Pharaohs ruled the world because they had the best thinkers and “schools”. Take it to Al-Khw?rizm? , the father of algebra and the head of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, connecting to even the modern superpowers of America and China, it is about knowledge. And that knowledge gives power. No nation can advance faster than its capacity to create and apply knowledge. And when a nation can allow its universities to close due to strikes, you get the idea!
