Must read post by Michele Martin - Changing Knowledge Worker Attitudes. That's it - knowledge workers must take ownership. I had chills as I read it. And it's the responsibility of learning professionals to lead that charge.

Corporations have not woke up to the need for knowledge workers to reach out for expertise. This also shows the discrepancy in the perspective of getting information via a resource like Wikipedia vs. getting it from other people via something like LinkedIn. Great question. Anyone have an answer?

It came up in the Corporate Learning Trends conference last week that one person was responsible for knowledge workers who were, as she claimed, passive learners. This is a really interesting issue, because it crosses several different areas.

It’s about identifying and developing the skills of the knowledge worker, tapping into the social network. Naturally I’m quite excited by all this, as it taps into two of my key memes: meta-learning (or learning to learn), and 21st Century Skills.

When you think about what knowledge workers need relative to Keep / Organize / Refind / Remind, I've discussed in The New Skills that we want to be able to keep track of everything we've seen with minimum effort.

I think this is the case for lots of knowledge workers. For me, I generally put to-learn items in my to-do based on specific projects or preparing presentations, writing, etc. In these cases, my To-Learn items are not distinguished from my To-Do items.

I think Mark missed the bigger barriers of Changing Knowledge Worker Attitudes and the work literacy gap. I agree with Mark that there are fairly sizable organizational culture aspects to enterprise adoption of enterprise 2.0 / web 2.0 / eLearning 2.0. And I think it's easy to underestimate that impact. answers is bad advice.

Of course, if you are reading this post (and it's still roughly Oct/Nov 2008), then likely you are a bit ahead of the average knowledge worker. How to keep track, organize, refind, remind of information? and the list goes on. So, maybe you are okay? Well consider the following: I effectively use the Google filetype operator?

Most knowledge workers are used to thinking about that type of content being created for internal use only. The answers are going to depend on the particular situation, but in a few cases I think the answers are fairly well known. It makes sense in many of these cases to keep it inside the firewall.

Part of what may be at issue here is the continuing question of the Scope of Learning Responsibility where I see Learning (capital L) being responsible for helping knowledge workers be able to do their work (that inherently has learning involved) more effectively, efficiently, accurately, etc.

To me, this is a critical part of The New Skills for knowledge workers. And what I often cite as the biggest change in knowledge work skills over the past 20 years is the change in access to people. One of the questions being raised this week in the free, online course Work Literacy: Web 2.0

implies some pretty significant changes in the way that organizations look at the role of a knowledge worker, management, the learning/training organization, boundaries of organizations, when you reach across boundaries, etc. But, it's quite a bit different than the top-down kinds of approaches I've used in the past.

As fields of practice and bodies of knowledge expand, a challenge for learning professionals will be to change their tool sets from prescriptive to supportive.
