Introduction

The nomad K.E.E.N:Knowledge

Exchanging EnhancingNetworker


The K.E.E.N.Evolving from the Knowledge Worker

The ‘knowledge worker’ is a concept coined by

Peter Drucker in the 1980’s.

The ‘Knowledge Worker’ is significantly different from thetypical Industrial Age worker

Knowledgeworkers



Industrial Age worker Knowledge worker

Homogeneous class (‘middle class’) Non homogeneous category

Do not possess their means of production

Possess its means of production (brain, knowledge)

Basic education Highly educated

Easily replaced Not easily replaced

Follows instruction Entrepreneurial

The knowledge worker is at odds with the typical Industrial Age worker.He/she provides value through their knowledge and the manipulation ofinformation.

In a sense, the Knowledge Worker is a precursorof the Fourth Revolution.



As a concept, the knowledge workerstill:

– Works in a corporation, or a closedorganization

– Sells his knowledge, acquired by higheducation

The ‘knowledge worker’ concept still needs to evolve

The concept was invented in the1980’s and does not account for therole of long distanceinterconnectivity



Knowledge worker K.E.E.N. of the Collaborative Age

Works in a Corporation Nomad, jumps from organization to organization, project to project

Sells its knowledge that was acquired by education

Gives and creates knowledge

Publishes rarely (keeps knowledge for himself)

Contributes knowledge to the world

Low connection outside Corporation

Highly connected and international

The K.E.E.N. is the extrapolation of the Knowledge worker into theCollaborative Age. It goes beyond the assumptions at the basis of theknowledge worker.

“mutual learning” leadership


1- PurposeIdentification and attraction

“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”

John F. Kennedy

What is your purpose ?When you are on your way, on

your quest, expect rejectionand to have to go on theless travelled road.

If that’s the case, you are onthe right way to somethingGREAT.


1- PurposeIdentification and attraction

Attract your purpose.

PRESENT tense

Be GRATEFUL

RECOGNIZEthat it is already –partially - in your

life

Be SERENDIPITOUS


2- Holistic exerciseA continuum from heart to mind

Exercise the body and the mind in a holistic manner

There are a wide diversity ofpractices

There is also a full continuumof practices from the physicalto the spiritual.

Choose your own set ofpractices to cover both body &mind.


2- Holistic exerciseA continuum from heart to mind

Get your own holistic practice routine to deal both with the body and the mind.

Practice regularly !!


3- Deep connection

Today, connection is easy.

Easy?

Deep connection is still as difficult. Even more,because of constant interruption.

Deep connection takes time.

Active listening.Presence.

Giving.These are all skills that can and need to be

practiced.


4- “Mutual learning” leadership

In conventional leadership approaches and styles, the leader showsthe path

– Command and control style– Scientific leadership style– Visionary leadership style

There is a relationship between the place in the organization andleadership possibilities.

This does not work in the Collaborative Age. Why would the formalleader have the vision just by himself ?

“Mutual learning leadership” is the newleadership skill of the Collaborative Age.



4 Tools: – Emotional Connection is primordial for effectiveness

– Everybody can and should Lead, at times.

– True Exchange is primordial for effective collaboration

– Jointly define and work toward a Challenging goal or purpose

CLEEEC !



Tool 1: Emotional connection isprimordial for effectiveness

Tool 3: True exchange isprimordial for effectivecollaboration

Tool 4: Jointly define and worktoward a challenging goal orpurpose



“Mutual learning” leadership is the key to leadershipsuccess in the Collaborative World.

From our industrial Age mindset, it is hard tounderstand.

Well implemented, “mutuallearning” leadership can beextremely rewarding

The world beyond the Fourth Revolution. A deep transformation

Beyond the Fourth Revolution, the CollaborativeAge, our world will have been deeplytransformed.
