To meet these changing conditions, companies of all sizes are progressively more dependent on increasing the productivity of knowledge workers. However, the workflows, tool sets, and skills that these knowledge workers are using are more grounded in Industrial Revolution-era thinking and have not been modernized to adapt to the business realities of today.
