Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Grün (Philosopher, IF blog author and good friend) has experience with dialectical seminars. As a special highlight in his seminars, he offers knowledge gain on pre-defined problems by creating a “vexilla”.
I practiced the “ars construendi vexilla” a lot with my mentor Rupert Lay and appreciate the method very much. And I always gladly recommended it to others. But what is a modern manager supposed to do if he does not know the meaning of a word?
Well, he does a Wikipedia search. And until recently, the term “ars construendi vexilla” could not be found therein, not even the German version. As I see it, methods and competence that are not described in Wikipedia have no value.
The same was true for “ars construendi vexilla”. Until Lars Schmiedeberg, who has been working for InterFace for 25 years now, took heart and meticulously researched the term. He published the results of his work in Wikipedia. Now you can find Fahnenbildung in Wikipedia and Lars is the person who knows about it like no other.
Incidentally, by now Lars has a lot of experience with Wikipedia. He is always willing to answer questions on Wikipedia. So if you have any questions about Wikipedia, do not hesitate to contact Lars.
