Knowledge Worker Productivity Forum™ is a collaborative effort to look at better ways of leveraging the productivity of workers whose primary activity is to generate intellectual capital or use knowledge or expertise in the management of complex business issues. Through the exchange of data gathered in benchmarking surveys, members will be able to benefit from the experience of many companies. Membership is open to individuals involved in business process improvement or managers and staff that are interested in making knowledge workers more productive.
