Sometimes I feel an analysis fatigue setting in, that makes me just want to admire all the pretty colours.

It says "uniformed" practice, not "uninformed." I don't think that's a typo.
Either way, I find this bizarre.

So basically it is saying that you need to have skills values and knowledge to be a professional but if you only have 2 of these things you will either be uninformed, unethical, or ineffective. Yeah that is a huge surprise---- not

No, but I do accept the idea of the Peter Principle. As for pigeonholing people according to some nicely drawn pattern, other than presenting three circles overlapping one another with nice colors, I don't see the point. Whatever has been drawn, whatever the degree of overlap, the diagram will apply to a handful of people. One of my daughters is a Forensic Psychologist whose doctoral thesis was The Inefficacy of Statistical Categorization of the Human Condition. How's that for a title? Anyway, it pointed out that these diagrams denoting specific human conditions are applicable only in the most general sense for a grand sampling.

Here's one of my favorites for human engineers overthinking their position:

Still like my example. 😉

Almost forgot: I don't like Venn diagrams anyway, but then you might not like Feynman diagrams either.

There might be some truth there but the boundaries should not be so fixed and defined. They should be soft and indefinite, ala fuzzy logic.

A professional is still a human, with at least some human limitations.

Not really. I don't think I can justify all three pink areas with negative attributes. For instance, how come the midway from Values(Behavior) and Skills (Competency) happens to be an uninformed practice?

@TheMiddleWay venn diagram intersection is the common elements between both categories. Sitll don't understand how uniformed practice is a common thing between those two categories.

@TheMiddleWay ..... I see and yet, the very center is the intersection of having all three, isn't? Just messing with you, I see it now. Perhaps the one clarification would be that all three pink intersections are expressed in terms of the negative result when lacking the third one.

@TheMiddleWay now we are talking !! If its not fun then I am not too interested. Too much reality in our daily lives. Have a great professional day !!!

I don't see the point in trying to fit life skills into patterns.

This smells of HR psychobabble nonsense. My woo-woo alarm is sounding. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk would probably get run out of an organization that relied on this dribble.......

No!

Yes assuming one's values were informed by an organization's mission statement (knowledge). Otherwise one's inherent values may not be aligned with coworkers.

I like the way it shows the points of conjunction "Professionalism", "Uniformed Practice", "Unethical Practice" and "Ineffective/Inefficient Practice".

However, I think that Knowledge/Education is necessarily prior to Skills and Competency which in turn is necessarily prior to Values/Behavior in kind or a circular and generative process. It seems to me that the Venn Diagram freezes what is an on going process.

Yeah, I concur

Yeah for the most part. Just not as much as I agree with this one’s [goo.gl]
