One of the questions being raised this week in the free, online course Work Literacy: Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals is how social networks impact personal learning. To me, this is a critical part of The New Skills for knowledge workers. Social networks can be a good way to do this.

One of the favorite quotes I used to use during presentations was Drucker - The most important contribution of management in the 21st century will be to increase knowledge-worker productivity.

Training directors see learners; everyone else sees workers or employees.). Knowledge Workers. The knowledge worker’s objective is to learn what it takes to do the best she can.

In the past several years, knowledge workers have embraced technical skills and the realities of blended and remote work.
