Knowledge workers are the innovators, designers and marketers of your company's products and services. They are the highly paid strategists, executives, and IT specialists whose ideas and expertise fuel your success. But are they delivering their best performance?

  • Identify your company's most crucial category of knowledge worker;
  • Choose appropriate interventions and performance measures;
  • Use computers to mediate and structure knowledge work;
  • Select the most effective technology;
  • Understand the value of social networks and facilitate their use; and
  • Structure the physical environment to maximize productivity.
