Are Professionals Really Knowledge Workers
It is considered that professionals in our society are knowledge workers. Are Doctors, Accountants and Lawyers really knowledge workers?
Well in reality not ALL professionals are knowledge workers, but they work in the areas we consider knowledge based. Many of these professions are actually parasites in locked down domains ball hogging information from others. Many time lawyers work very hard to hide the laws, government forms and access.
If all these professionals are knowledge workers, why then lets teach them how to think then? It would be good if we use the Human Knowledge MindMap to teach these folks to think. Maybe they might pull their own weight rather than living off the creme.
Being a professional is only a label enabling the worker to charge more than they are worth generally and calling them knowledge workers is a justification to continue. Although 15-20% probably are worth it.
Now then, William Sheridan, Founder of The Human Knowledge MindMap states; “They are all knowledge workers, but most don't have a clear overview of the basis of knowledge skills for knowledge work.”
Indeed and thus it would be wise to help fix these issues and get them to use MindMapping to better do their jobs as knowledge workers. Helping professional knowledge workers stay knowledgeable is a key to the future knowledge society and we must consider the importance of this endeavor if we are to propel our nation forward. I sincerely hope that this article has helped propel thought in 2007.
