In Informal Learning , Jay writes about knowledge workers as: I like to work on things I help create. Such knowledge workers who are intrinsically passionate about their work are notoriously difficult to find and keep, writes Jay. Such innovative knowledge worker is a "different beast" to use Jay's words.

My introduction to Jay had been through his book Informal Learning. Needless to say, it had become my bible to understand what social learning is and could be in the context of workplace learning.
