Knowledge Funnel

Today after the presentations it was mentioned how Roger Martin's "knowledge funnel" connected to the process of why bathrooms were lacking new innovation. While that was being discussed I realized that my college process has been just one big knowledge funnel experience. When I first arrived at USU I had no true idea of what I wanted to go into. This stage of my life was in the mystery section of the knowledge funnel. But as time went along I was able to narrow it down into two large fields of study. Now I finally feel I know what major I want to go into specifically. But i still feel i'm in the Heuristic stage of the funnel. This is because i still do not know the exact classes I will take. I also feel like I will need to get some patterns down to be able to thrive in this major. Once I am able to reach that I will be able to hit the Algorithm stage in my college life. But interestingly once I get all of that down and graduate I will have to be prepared to start at the top of the funnel. Because I will need to find out where I can apply my new skills and degree. Hopefully as my life progresses I will continually be reminded of the need to restart the funnel process. Because if I am able to do that, I have a chance at being successful in whatever field of life I am in.
