The article is definitely worth a read, and it got me to finally write about what I see as a crisis in corporate learning. The average knowledge worker has access to an increasingly large set of information resources and corporate learning is an ever smaller part of this set. How do we foster knowledge worker skills?

In particular, highly skilled workers demonstrate the ability to reflect-inaction (Schön, 1987), to conduct mental simulations as a way of imagining possible outcomes. And this suggests that there is big value in providing knowledge workers with ways to assess a situation, to find the cues which link to possible approaches and actions.

So, I’ve definitely not been an effective home-based worker. But as you take your breaks remember this: researchers find that if a knowledge worker is interrupted at work, it takes 10 to 20 times the duration of the interruption for them to recover and get back to their previous task. That’s a perk of working from home.

Jay Cross in Ten Years After puts it: In a knowledge society, learning is the work. Isn't that the definition of management. Drucker told us that productivity of the knowledge worker would be the primary challenge of the 21st century. This is central to the very definition of how to make organizations more effective.

Ticking items off a list can be about as tangible an output as you get as a so-called 'knowledge worker'. So, according to Collins' definition I am not a true learning person, because the items on my to-learn list do not carry as much significance as my to-do list. Nonsense of course.
