In knowledge-based work the primary unit of value creation has shifted from the organization to the individual. We can look at this change from the perspective of knowledge networks, in which most of us will be working, whether we are farmers or software engineers. MORE
First, in our despair over the diminishing of a shared knowledge-base of important information, we should not ignore the off-kilter ways in which some worthwhile information does actually propagate through the system. There’s a knowingly ridiculous thread at Reddit at the moment: Which world leader would win if pitted against other leaders in a fight to the death. The title is a straightline begging for punchlines. And it is a funny thread. MORE

As practice stabilises it increasingly standardises, acquires ‘generations of knowledge’, professional practice and the like. It now refers to the idea of improvisation in human systems and is best in operation with loose knowledge bases with novel insights and applications. MORE
My response harkened back to my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships. In financial services in particular, there are three key aspects to ‘knowledge-based’ relationships that not only create value, but can also essentially lock-in the client. If you know your clients better than your competitors, and critically do things differently because of that knowledge, you will provide deeper value. MORE

In the mid-1990s I became involved in knowledge management. So I wrote my first book, Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships , to frame knowledge as primarily about creating value WITH the customer. Big Data is one of the hottest trends at the moment, as shown in this Google Trends chart below. However much of the big data discussion is about how to market better to customers, gathering data ABOUT them so companies can sell more to them. MORE

Malaysia is in many ways a developed knowledge-based economy, yet there are many who are not yet participating fully. . There are many advantages to having common culture and language between clients and workers, and many tasks that require local knowledge or presence. MORE
The argument is simple: Much of today’s economy is knowledge-based. In a knowledge economy, we need to be learning constantly. MOOCs reflect society’s transition to a knowledge economy and reveal the inadequacy of existing university models to meet learner’s needs. I’ve said this many times over the past six months: If 2012 was the year of the MOOC, 2013 will be the year of the anti-MOOC. Things are unfolding nicely according to plan. MORE
For knowledge workers, there is diminishing value in standardized work, as it will be either automated or outsourced over time. Standardized work usually falls into simple or complicated knowledge domains. This is how simple and complicated knowledge continuously gets automated. MORE
In many ways it brings together the key themes of my books, including knowledge-based relationships, value co-creation, living networks, internal and external social media, and crowdsourcing.

In my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships I described how value in professional services resides to an increasing degree in the relationship with the client.

MORE
In my first book Developing Knowledge-Based Client Relationships: The Future of Professional Services the final chapter was titled Value-Based Pricing: Implementing New Revenue Models. Pricing by value rather than time is clearly a central aspect to building true knowledge-based relationships, since knowledge should be measured by the value of its application rather than time spent by professionals. Value-based pricing is not always the best approach. MORE

So, for instance, adapting a large knowledge-based course will still leave it as a problematic solution in search of a problem. A few posts ago, I wrote about how we might be rushing too fast into cognitive computing. Not that there’s anything wrong with augmenting us, but I was wondering if we’d be better off focusing on developing our non-cognitive systems first. MORE
