The popularity of the term “knowledge worker” comes and goes, but the single most-important characteristic of such a job-description is the ability to find information, process it into knowledge, and so add value for the organization. Sounds simple, and in the age of the internet, finding and sifting information from the outside world is relatively simple and very quick. However, when it comes to information that resides inside the organization, the situation can be very different, and the effect of search efficiency on knowledge worker productivity can be huge. Below are the key data points drawn from AIIM's research study of information professionals - Search and Discovery: Exploiting Knowledge, Minimizing Risk.

We’ve all been there. There’s a pile of cute, fluffy, wriggling puppies in a crate. You lift one out for a quick cuddle. It licks you. It loves you. In minutes you grow to love the puppy back. Looking up, you see the sign… “Free puppies.” OMG, it can’t get any better than this! The transaction is completed, and you are now the happy owner of a free puppy, with whom you are in love. As you are walking away, the puppy purveyor reminds you to “get it to the vet for its shots.”

Small-to-mid sized organizations with 10 to 500 employees constitute 35%. 67% of the participants are from North America, and 18% from Europe.

As we’ve discussed before, we are in a world of rapid and accelerating change. Three major disruptive forces are accelerating the pace of change and driving organizations into information chaos: CONSUMERIZATION is transforming what users expect from applications and how we deliver them. We are now in the era of user-centric IT. CLOUD AND MOBILE are creating an expectation of anywhere, anytime access, and transforming how we engage with customers and employees. THE INTERNET OF THINGS is creating massive amounts of new data and information, creating enormous new challenges and opportunities.

I recently did an open-mic webinar with Quentin Christensen and Andrew SanAgustin from Microsoft to answer questions from users about SharePoint. The Q&A flowed beyond the scope of the webinar, so I asked Quentin and Andrew if they could respond to some of the outstanding questions in this post. Here are the questions and their answers -- as usual, no endorsement implied -- and the perspective is theirs, not mine. The point of the post is simply to provide a conduit for the questions and give Quentin and Andrew a chance to give their take.
