Know

A vexing problem for any person whose job involves handling or using information, is the corralling, filing, structuring, retaining and otherwise accessing and using that knowledge and information, at the right time, when it’s needed.

Whew, there is a lot to that long sentence. 

It’s the last phrases that catch me out: the right time, when it’s needed. I think a word for it is “contemporaneous”.

The reality is, we live with just-in-time expectations, for delivery of inventory, or for finding knowledge.  We learn in-depth when we need to, but rarely make time for it if it’s not immediately needed.
