They released a study in July that suggests use of social media internally can actually improve the productivity of knowledge workers by 25%. These are your highest paid workers. They also spend another 19% of the time trying to track down information (including searching through their own e-mail files) and 14% collaborating with co-workers. The point is, our society is making huge advances in the areas of knowledge, collaboration, and leveraging data.

We can’t just be knowledge workers; we must also be learning workers.” “I’ve spent almost the last 15 years researching why we are so bad at learning and what we can do about it,” states Bradley R. Staats. And that’s primarily what prompted him to write his book, Never Stop Learning: Stay Relevant, Reinvent Yourself, and Thrive.

Nothing less than a transition from product-centered and process-driven bureaucracies to flexible, innovation-centered, and customer-driven knowledge services will give them a new basis for competing in the knowledge age. In the age of knowledge work, leadership has become more essential as well as more complex than earlier times,” leadership expert Michael Maccoby writes in his book, The Leaders We Need and What Makes Us Follow (Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 2007).

Here's a look at how telework can create jobs for low wage workers. Janah reports that this area of work is doubling in size each year and cites American companies like LiveOps which places tens of thousands call-center workers who work from home. " Another aspect of this emerging industry that Janah cites are cloud based services like WorkersNow , and ReadyForce, which function as temp agencies by providing profiles of pre-screened workers in particular industries.

According to Rob Cross’s research, knowledge workers spend 90 to 95 per cent of their time on the phone, responding to e-mails or in meetings. Remote workers are often in very different physical locations, with different working patterns (that fit around the rest of their lives), and different needs. Many times we need to use technology to facilitate the meeting, whether it is bring a remote worker or view a presentation.

Knowledge workers who don’t understand the constraints they work under are doomed to come up with solutions that will not work. A few weeks ago I felt a change in the force that drives me to do my work. It was a good and welcome change, one of renewed energy and focus. I wrote about how Africa has leapt back to the forefront of my mind , back to a position of prominence it held long ago. I have much to learn and catch up on as try to get reconnected to Africa.

Despite the fact that many knowledge workers could efficiently and effectively do their work from home, most organizations default to a management and evaluation style designed for factory workers. But the benefits for organizations and workers extend far beyond decreasing wasted hours spent sitting in traffic.

The Open Knowledge Foundation is a great advocacy charity in that field. Grameen has a team of community knowledge workers who go out in the fields of Uganda and collect agricultural information on their mobile devices. Without a doubt big data is one of the most talked about topics in nonprofit technology and IT in general this year. It was last year as well.

However, if you serve those clients with knowledge workers, you may end up with a more cost-effective outcome for that client. Of course, that isn’t their intent but we, as nonprofit technologists, need to focus with laser-like precision upon the real items that are affecting our less technologically-inclined co-workers. Put your social services worker hat on BEFORE you put your IT hat on. It’s immediately offputting to social services workers.
