Replying to LO16210 --

John Zavacki asked, responding to Simon Buckingham:

>> It defines knowledge workers as those who "create, transform and
>> process information all day, every day".

> SO, who does that leave out?

It leaves out all that is not informtion. (This would be nothing if
information is everything, but in this case "information" is not a useful
word.)

It leaves out material, ideas, money.

Material is processed by "traditional" workers, ideas and money by
everyone. (Exceptions confirm the rule.)

Regards, Winfried
