This site is all about learning with digital resources, knowledge management, productivity of knowledge workers in a digital environment, and digital structuring principles.
Why is this important?
- First, because most of us are in fact digital knowledge workers. Read here why…
- Second, because knowledge workers face numerous problems which hinder them from being really productive. Productivity in turn defines the chances of individuals in the labor-markets and defines their value for businesses (which translates into salaries). The following problems are central: 1. Focus and distraction , 2. Re-utilization in the context of time: Efficiency, 3. Visualisation is central to efficient learning and productivity
- Third, because economies in developed countries are 80% service industries and in such a knowledge industry, digital information becomes the source of productivity (information age). Productivity in turn defines competitiveness, i.e. profitability and the success of businesses,national and finally the global economy.
- Fourth, because service firms are made up of knowledge workers, the overall business productivity is dependent on the productivity of individuals who work for the firm.
- Fifth, finally, because individual digital productivity depends strongly on optimizing individual learning and network communication, an approach to individualize digital content representation will enhance individual productivity and finally also overall business productivity. -->Enabling individual learning in a digital world
This is why digital content is the core resource on which individual knowledge workers and businesses should focus on in order to gain competitive advantages in the future. Knowledge as long been accepted by strategy literature as the most central resource in a business. As a logic consequence, digital knowledge will gain importance the more our output is produced in a digital form. -->Competitive advantage through digital resources
New options and technologies are being developed in Web2.0 which aim at making network users more productive. Furthermore, SaaS is developing into a viable business model for the future. These two developments shall be a focal point of interest besides issues on strategy, knowledge management, the semantic web and 3D-technologies. The aim is to find out about the possibilities to work in a 3D-learning enviroment which is linked to a personnalized knowledge management system. In a 3D-world one should be able to develop personal learning strategies, visualisation techniques and interaction patterns.
Anyone who is interested in these developments is encouraged to join. Please contact the digital knowledge worker via this formulaire: here
