three skills you acquired through
education experience for understanding
of a subject five awareness six
familiarity of a fact situation data
from your reports will give you the
actual facts on the metrics status
performance or any related information

structure what is a data data is a set
of discrete facts about events in IT
industry we capture data through service
management tools like remedy ServiceNow
in the form of incident change request
and so on even configuration data can be
used data always needs to be accurate to
get the most appropriate information
what is an information information
usually comes as an outcome of data
analyzing the data gives you more
information a day-to-day example would
be trend analysis towards problem
management analyzing a data could show
some trends based on which we create a
problem record for investigation data
analysis provides relevant information
what is knowledge knowledge comes from
tactical experience discussion with
peers through ideas and innovations and
so on knowledge is usually content based
and is dynamic knowledge makes us to use
the available information easily
considering the problem example the root
cause or known error are examples of
knowledge
we now possess the knowledge that for
this specific incident I know that this
is the workaround or permanent solution
we document the same for better
efficiency and sharing what is wisdom
when the knowledge we possess is being
documented shared communicate it taught
to peers and others we gain wisdom we
know when where and why to apply this is
