Sometimes the masters in certain areas are simply displaced, leaving people performing tasks in areas where they don't even have the apprentice level of know-how - as I discussed in http://joanvinallcox.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/old-skills-new-know-how/ I like this angle of looking at learning, however I believe a radical disruption has occurred with the introduction of new technology - the old(er) masters know the theory and concepts but not the new technology, while the journeymen know the software but not necessarily the theory and concepts.

I'm very much looking forward to continued conversation. I've been reading your posts with great interest. A big part of the goal at WL is to help figure out how to help early majority knowledge workers to be able to take advantage of PKM kind of ideas where it will help THEM as an individual. I believe there are lots of people roughly working on this idea, but there's not a good place to get help if you are one of the early majority. Brett - great to hear you say this.

I actually wrote the bulk of this post in draft nearly a year ago, it has been my discovery of Work Literacy ideas that got me looking at it all again. Though I started working in KM at the organizational level, over the years this has become more an interest at the PKM level. More recently this has taken on a focus on the ideas of personal mastery. My influences in this have come mainly from the trades, the martial arts (specifically Aikido), and other athletics. I am also looking at this from a very personal perspective. Though I used to work in the "KM Field", now I am interested in KM, PKM, Work Literacy (WL?) on a more practical personal level. I'm just a knowledge worker who enjoys what he does and wants to learn how to do it better. Tony, to be honest I’m not sure if I buy it all or not either.

Looking forward to hear more from you about it. I’m not sure I’m buying that all of this needs to be apprentice, craft growth. Looking forward to hear more from you about it.
