Knowledge Worker 2.0 refers to modern knowledge workers who are no longer confined to desks or limited roles and locations. They are mobile, collaborative, and make use of a wide variety of tools. They are focused on learning, sharing knowledge freely across networks, and adding value through innovation rather than being tied to rigid processes. They are engaged in continuous learning and experimentation rather than just busywork.
