And a knowledge manager is all 12! It’s nice to have the distinctions around the roles and to recognise how each drives different activities. But remember, they are roles describing action – not who we are. I would hate to see “Company X is looking for a knowledge packager. The successful applicant…”Al has just dug up a gem by David Skyrme on the German language blog fliegenvonferne which describes twelve types (or roles) of knowledge workers. Pretty neat, concise descriptions.
The roles are (see here for the full descriptions):
- Expert
- Knowledge analyst
- Knowledge leader
- Knowledge networker
- Knowledge custodian
- Knowledge creator
- Knowledge entrepreneur
- Knowledge packager
- Knowledge visualiser
- Knowledge activist
- Knowledge seeker
- Storyteller
