The Future of the Future: Goodbye, knowledge worker… Hello, knowledge entrepreneur
By Art Murray - Posted May 30, 2008 -KMWorld
Whenever I use the term knowledge worker, I am often told that the term is "so last-century, so industrial-age." I must admit, it certainly doesn’t sound appropriate when referring to the Enterprise of the Future. In fact, it’s becoming obvious that the very notion of a job is falling by the wayside, especially in organizations where knowledge-intensive activities are performed. Regardless of whether or not you have designs on starting your own business, you should, no, make that must, start viewing yourself as a knowledge entrepreneur: the leader of your own, knowledge-based micro-enterprise.
The changing global economy
You could almost call it a clash of civilizations: capitalism vs. socialism, big corporations vs. big government. As we make the transition to the Enterprise of the Future, big anything will likely fade into history. This is happening in part because the underlying assumptions that gave us economies of scale, and drove us to a large, mass production paradigm, are crumbling. The result is the return to smaller, more localized and more sustainable means of production.
