Those absolutely mind-blowing and rather provocative sentences, as depressing and as exciting as they may sound, don’t come from a knowledge worker working in a particular corporation protesting about the poor state of workplace learning or learning in general. Again, replace ‘ kids’ for ‘ knowledge workers’ and ‘ school ’ for ‘ workplace’ and, once again, we would have the reaffirmation as to why workplace learning is currently broken within the business world.

I mean, we have only been having social software tools for merely 15 years and we are already starting to hate them, as end-users?

Whether that may well be rather accurate, or not, you can tell me in the comments below what you think about it, if you wish, I have got this little theory going on in my mind that we, knowledge (Web 2.0) workers, may have to blame ourselves for that to happen in this Social, Digital Age. We seem to have become just that, pure data , i.e. * the* product , leaving out entirely our networks, connections and relationships. . We don’t need control in this Social Era , do we ?

Our old technology — paper — gave us an idea of knowledge that said that knowledge comes from experts who are filtered, printed, and then it’s settled, because that’s how books work. In order to let knowledge get as big as our new medium allows, we have to recognize that knowledge comes from all of us (including experts), it is to be linked, shared, discussed, argued about, made fun of, and is never finished and done.

This information can be mapped, and frameworks such as knowledge management help us to map it. We can also create tools, especially performance support systems to do the work and not have to learn all the background knowledge in order to accomplish the task. This is how complicated knowledge continuously gets automated. The main job of most knowledge workers is to solve problems and deal with exceptions. Each knowledge worker must also narrate their own work.

People value knowledge that they request more highly than knowledge that is unsolicited. People won’t use knowledge, unless they trust its provenance.

On the other hand, networked organizations can scale because they do not need to control every connection. Designers of these open organizational structures understand that in complex un-order, loose hierarchies and strong networks are best. Organizations that deal with complex knowledge and require creativity from workers need looser hierarchies to maintain flexibility in dealing with changing situations. But a network does not scale the same way a hierarchy does.

Silicon Valley, in spite of all the hype, is based on the same outdated organizational models of leadership and management as the companies they are putting out of business.
