How we work isn’t working. What now?
The hope was once that computers would help people to work smarter and more efficiently. And that the advent of the network society, some ten years ago, would increase people’s options and thereby empower them. For example, by collaborating effectively together, they could achieve things while sidestepping old and existing management structures. So they would no longer be held back by layers of management, hierarchy or bureaucracy. In addition, knowledge and innovations would circulate much faster within a network society and thus realise its potential. Technology would reduce, or even eliminate, the friction between issues and solutions. And the intermediate links in the value chain (retailers!) could disappear.
The five pillars of Digital Fitness
– Digital awareness: the impact of the network- and information society, where technology plays an important role, is enormous, and brings with it new rules. Digital awareness is about what this requires of us as people and organisations in terms of knowledge levels, attitude and behaviour. And how we should organise things differently where necessary.
– Digital hygiene: in effect an extension of social hygiene. Employees should agree, preferably at team level, what digital tools they should use, when and how. As well as how to clean up their digital clutter, prevent digital scams, best organise backups, handle passwords, etc.
– Digital skills: an estimated 90% of computer users need to brush up on their digital skills. This will save a lot of time and so increase effectiveness. Sparing people a lot of digital stress and freeing up hundreds of hours a year.
– Personal knowledge management: the latest generations of digital tools let employees ‘capture’ their knowledge much faster and share it more effectively with colleagues. An application like Notion, an online whiteboard like Miro, or note-apps like Evernote and Roam Research are all tools that help you ‘liquify’ your knowledge.
– Personal growth through technology: most knowledge workers want to continue developing themselves, preferably through lifelong learning. This contributes to and enhances their sustainable employability, and technology can really help here.
Please note: the relative importance of the various pillars varies per knowledge worker, depending on their position, role and responsibilities. So while for a programmer, digital skills will outweigh digital awareness, the opposite is true for their CEO.

Most of what you state happens to be astonishingly appropriate and it makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. This article truly did switch the light on for me as far as this subject matter goes. However at this time there is just one position I am not too comfy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the core theme of the position, permit me observe exactly what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Nicely done.
I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced for your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please prolong them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I?ll try to get the hang of it!
I have realized some significant things through your website post. One other thing I would like to talk about is that there are plenty of games available on the market designed especially for preschool age kids. They incorporate pattern acknowledgement, colors, creatures, and forms. These generally focus on familiarization as an alternative to memorization. This will keep a child occupied without feeling like they are learning. Thanks
According to my observation, after a property foreclosure home is marketed at a bidding, it is common for that borrower to be able to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the financial loan. There are many financial institutions who aim to have all expenses and liens paid by the future buyer. Nevertheless, depending on selected programs, polices, and state legislation there may be quite a few loans that aren’t easily resolved through the shift of lending products. Therefore, the obligation still remains on the borrower that has had his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you for sharing your notions on this site.

Thanks for your helpful article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally attributable to the inhalation of fibers from asbestos fiber, which is a extremely dangerous material. It’s commonly noticed among individuals in the building industry that have long exposure to asbestos. It can be caused by moving into asbestos protected buildings for a long time of time, Genetics plays an important role, and some persons are more vulnerable on the risk than others.
