Dave Pollard, author of the How to Save the World Weblog, offers a fascinating vision of the world of a typical knowledge worker in the year 2015. Some of the tools this future innovator uses include:
- A simple, personal content management system that enables workers to organize the information they use in their jobs and selectively share it with others,
- An expertise finder tool, which helps them find subject-matter experts,
- A 'virtual presence' tool that enables one-click multimedia conferencing with people inside and outside of the organization, and
- A set of easy-to-use productivity tools that enable knowledge workers to conduct research, and search other employees' profiles to find relevant expertise.
Pollard also predicts the fall of many large multi-national corporations by 2015, and the rise of a new entrepreneurial economy, driven in part by the ability to seamlessly share information with coworkers, suppliers and other outside partners. Fascinating stuff -- highly recommended reading! |
