Welcome to thoughtglue!

thoughtglue is an idea that’s been bubbling away inside our heads for a few months now; a place for knowledge workers and their managers to come to read the latest discussion, research and news about working as a part of the knowledge economy.

Back last year we had an idea that caused the proverbial itch that wouldn’t go away. That itch came from working for clients and in places where the nature of knowledge work wasn’t well understood; burst vs. busy, tools we use that aren’t the norm in the corporate world (IM, Twitter, etc.), the ability not to have constant face time to be of value.

The question we asked ourselves was

How do we, as knowledge workers introduce clients and mangers to knowledge work and everything about it in a way that isn’t threatening and isn’t going to get us marginalized?

For managers, who are equally important in this equation, we asked (with our manager hats on):

How do I better understand knowledge workers, get the best from them and facilitate them doing their work in a way that will return greatest value to my business?

So, here’s what we want thoughtglue to be able to do - tie together in a meaningful way all of the latest information available about knowledge work and the knowledge economy and build the value of that information by exploring for workers and managers how that information can be leveraged in business.

Sound interesting? We think it does. If you want to keep up to date on what’s happening with thoughtglue, add the feed to your reader. And, if you’ve got an idea, drop us a line and we’ll follow it up.
