The Knowledge Curation Toolkit #4: Project I and The HERO I Canvas

Running a Knowledge Curation Project with the HERO I Canvas

Two years ago, I published an article titled HERO U — A New Framework for Knowledge Heroes on June 26, 2020. Two months later, I started testing the HERO framework by writing a series of articles about Activity Theory. I called this project the Activity U project which is considered a knowledge curation project.

Since then, I have been using the HERO U framework to guide my knowledge curation projects. From August 2020 to March 2021, I wrote the following three books:

In April 2021, I wrote a book called The ECHO Way to reflect on the HERO U framework and the process of writing the above three books. On June 30, 2021, I wrote an article titled The ECHO Way (v2.0) and upgraded the HERO U framework to the ECHO Way (v2.0) from a practical framework for Knowledge Curation to a general framework for Boundary Innovation.

Both the HERO U framework and the ECHO Way (v2.0) share a set of meta-diagrams:

• Theme U
• Project I
• Container Z (WXMY/Echozone)
