Archipelago Theory

Archipelago Theory is a concept in knowledge management that likens knowledge to a group of islands (archipelagos) in an ocean. Each island represents a distinct area of expertise or information, while the ocean symbolizes the broader context in which this knowledge exists. Just like islands can be connected by bridges, knowledge can be connected through relationships, collaboration, and communication. This theory emphasizes the importance of networking and sharing information across different fields to create a more integrated and comprehensive understanding of complex topics, facilitating innovation and problem-solving.
