Illustrasjon som viser overføring av kunnskap: To personer diskuterer ved et bord med diagram og lyspære som symboliserer idé og vekst. Over dem ligger en åpen bok, og en pil leder videre til en person som flyr med fallskjerm – et bilde på hvordan kunnskap deles, omsettes i praksis og gir trygghet til å ta nye steg.

See the patterns – and use them

We often underestimate how much our experience is really worth. What we learn in one context can often be applied somewhere entirely different—if we only see the patterns. Transferring knowledge isn’t about starting over; it’s about building on what we already know, in a new context.
