The article, by David Collins, is quite interesting and well worth
reading. Its basic thesis is that the current emphasis and focus on
knowledge work and knowledge workers is less than productive and we would
be better served by focusing on working knowledge. I think he's got a
point. However, he doesn't go into a lot of detail about how his shift in
focus might play out but I suppose that's a different article for a
different day.
