Knowledge Workers
"Those three elements, analysis, synthesis
into a process of production, and feedback control, are particularly
important in knowledge work. For knowledge work by definition does not
result in a product. It results in a contribution of knowledge to somebody
else. The output of the knowledge worker always becomes somebody else's
input. It is, therefore, not self-evident in knowledge work, as it is
in making a pair of shoes, whether the work has results or not. This
can be seen only by projecting backward from the needed end results.
At the same time, knowledge work, being intangible, is not controlled
by its own progress. We do not know the sequence of knowledge work in
the way we know--at least since Taylor and Gantt--the sequence of manual
operations. Knowledge work, therefore, needs far better design, precisely
because it cannot be designed for the worker. It can be designed
only by the worker."
