Knowledge Work

A knowledge worker applies knowledge in ways that create more knowledge, by generating knowledge flow. Knowledge flow is the measure of how much knowledge you cultivate in the world around you. It is also your ability to synthesize and evolve your knowledge as paradigms (as well as tools, practices, and processes) change.
