In a 1999 California Management Review article, Peter Drucker—who is widely regarded as the “father of modern management”—stated that the most important contribution management will need to make in the 21st century will be increasing the productivity of knowledge workers. They have to manage themselves. They must have autonomy.

This taught me a few things about work, technology and myself. Work —complex knowledge work requires solitude as well as collaboration. To let people know about my work, socialize it as much as possible. It’s definitely a skill much needed in today’s extrovert oriented, non-hierarchical workplaces.

I’m convinced that we are all struggling to have our Work Skills Keep Up. When I look at my particular skills, methods and tools for 2009 and compare them to 2008, I would say that it’s mostly a question of degree of use and certainly my use of Twitter has grown.

Peter Drucker’s six factors for knowledge worker productivity are core principles for designing learnscapes. Knowledge worker productivity demands that we ask the question: “What is the task?&#. It demands that we impose the responsibility for productivity on the individual knowledge workers themselves.

Dodged that bullet. :) Patterns and Knowledge Work I understand the concern that when you share best practices, you may come out with very different results. In particular, highly skilled workers demonstrate the ability to reflect-inaction (Schön, 1987), to conduct mental simulations as a way of imagining possible outcomes.

Most companies still adhere to a traditional labor structure of employing full-time workers, hoping to find the best talent within driving distance of an office. It makes sense to insist that employees all work next to each other on a factory assembly line. This new paradigm is optimized for knowledge work, like L&D.

Jobs are changing where there is a clear move from role-based work to task-based work, less transactional work and more work that requires decision-making and dealing with ambiguity. Also, workers who provide the greatest value to organisations are inevitably those working with tacit information and making decisions.

In the past several years, knowledge workers have embraced technical skills and the realities of blended and remote work. So I think there’s a convergence of three themes that really caused a lot of stress for people this concept of digitization and remote work, being constantly available or accessible.

It reinforces the fact that Leveraging Networks is Key Skill. I'm coming to believe this is the most important Knowledge Worker Skill Gap.

Knowledge Workers. The knowledge worker’s objective is to learn what it takes to do the best she can. The learned worker enjoys the fulfillment of a job well done, the rewards that go with high performance, and the accumulation of marketable skills. Today’s workers are out for themselves.

Learning develops new capacities, skills, values, understanding, and preferences. It’s a dog’s breakfast of acquiring skills, information, knowledge, savoir faire, and more. Workers were then expected to do them; the less variation, the better. Innovation was not a worker’s responsibility.

Friesen recognises the social implications of such a philosophy: the emergence of a classist society in which knowledge workers (ie those who have the knowledge) succeed and prosper, while service workers (ie those who don’t have the knowledge and are relegated to manual labour) struggle and subsist.
