There’s a famous saying, 'Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad'.

While I’m no culinary expert, what this fruit-based analogy really speaks to is the clear distinction between knowledge and wisdom. Something that is seemingly increasingly lost in today’s society.

Perhaps the clearest example of this, in a corporate setting at least, is the worrying trend of cheating across a range of assessments. Of course, cheating isn’t a new thing – I defy anyone reading this to say ‘I’ve never cheated’, or at least been tempted to.

The real worry is the willingness to cheat in lieu of learning and the impact this has subsequently on the value of retained knowledge.
