Kathleen -
During the last few years, the experts have been hovering around the whole "knowledge-based economy" paradigm like proverbial moths to the flame. We have heard from the engineering crowd, the chaos theorists, the "revolutionaries", the evolutionary "creationists", the transformational nirvana-seekers, the "Mickey Ds" who want to deliver their classes in '30-seconds-or-less', and who knows who else is waiting in the wings. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that the producer or common-carrier of the asset under examination - the actual human being who has to work with, work to produce, or work to adapt "knowledge" has largely been forgotten and ignored. The knowledge-worker is the true "wonder-works" of this new age - how does that person improve, change, manage, evaluate, organize, or control her "raw materials"? What skills, behaviors, activities, competencies, or results should that knowledge-worker focus-on and develop? How do we "chunk" knowledge or provide "bite-sized", relevant "chunks" of knowledge just-in-time and in convenient ways? If we ever learn how to "manage" knowledge, when will we learn how to lead and direct the knowledge-worker? Perhaps the answers to these questions may be too difficult to see at this moment of time, there are a few answers that exist and some that will need to be discovered. There is a place that is trying to address the special educational needs of knowledge-workers and those that lead or manage those professionals. You can get a lot more information about this unique approach to knowledge-work related training at the following place: http://www.syntopic.net/syntopic_programs.htm A free eBook and other things are available to visitors to their home page too. Regards, sunesys P.S. That free eBook describes ways to increase creativity and innovation - it apparently continues to "evolve" http://www.syntopic.net |
