"Love the first half of the book. It then tends to fade in the second half talking about some case studies that don't necessarily align with my situation."
"I'm not a big fan of business-oriented books and would not have picked it up if I hadn't been asked to read it. But I did and I'm actually very happy that I did read it. I never thought of myself belonging to a specific type of worker and had never heard of the concept of "knowledge worker" but after reading this book, many things make more sense to me in terms of how I work and work dynamics in any place nowadays. Davenport does cover most characteristics of a knowledge worker, but if you're not in the corporate field, a lot of things are just not relevant or practical yet insightful. The best chapter for me was the last chapter, which talks about management. An extra chapter of bringing everything together might have been my suggestion to end the book, but maybe this is how business-oriented books end."
"What did I learn from this book? That managers are grossly overpaid, conspire to increase the length of meetings and reports far beyond any reasonable length, and could be replaced by any six year old with common sense.
This book contains perhaps ten pages of actual information. The rest is justification to the publisher."
