As knowledge workers, we all need to be more progressive in our work and to be on the bleeding edge in order to most effectively exploit the tools and opportunities we have.  In recognition of that need, thoughtglue presents the definition of Knowledge Worker 2.0 from Wikipedia (as defined by Andrew Boyd, and others):

  Characteristics of knowledge worker 2.0 are:

• uses taxonomies as one categorisation strategy/tool - but knows that they are only a part of a total solution that includes folksonomies and folk taxonomies.
• designs/uses information systems that recognise that different people find things in different ways
• has heightened sensitivity to organisational culture
• high awareness of information sharing and distribution
• recognises that centralised control of information is an option but not the only option
• may work in “traditional” knowledge worker domains such as records and information management but is just as likely to be found within development project teams, marketing, or human resources areas.

Pretty close, we’d say!
