I've recently been talking to people about evaluating performance of Concept Workers. Evaluating concept worker performance is an interesting challenge: No right answer - Most often there is no single right answer. I'm coming to believe this is the most important Knowledge Worker Skill Gap.

(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.
