• Communication and employee engagement?
• Collaboration?

6. A worker is engaging in complex, responsive and open activities with others
7. The network is the main architecture of work
8. Productivity is understood as creative learning and scaling up
9. Knowledge work is investments of human capital
10. Work is interaction between interdependent people
