Knowledge work was a term
that was first used by
the influential Austrian
management author
and thinker Peter Drucker.
Peter Drucker said that
the greatest danger in
times of turbulence is not
the turbulence itself,
it is to act with
yesterday's logic.
In the following minutes,
I would like to take
you on a journey into
the future of knowledge
work and explain
why it is of utmost
importance for
management to
profoundly rethink and
redefine our understanding of
knowledge work in the
upcoming era of AI.
This includes topics like
knowledge worker productivity,
effective knowledge management,
good leadership practices,
and the new role of knowledge
workers in organizations.
