Journyx CEO Curt Finch recently published an article in The Project Times entitled “How to Increase Profitability with Project Accounting.” This piece addresses how changes in the type of work most people do affect understanding of project costs. Here’s an excerpt:
The era of manufacturing and farming is giving way to one of knowledge work. This is old news to many of us but, in our lifetime, the changes that the developed world is undergoing will be visited on the vast majority of humanity. Nearly everyone will be some sort of knowledge worker.
By knowledge worker, I mean anyone who primarily works with information as opposed to people who actually alter things in the physical world. A person who assembles cars is not a knowledge worker. A person who sits on a chair and programs a robot to assemble cars is a knowledge worker. Most people in the developed world these days sit in front of a computer all day. They are knowledge workers.
