Very interesting! Specialized jobs are lucrative as long as your niche continues to exist. Don't be afraid to evolve and upgrade as needed.

ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DAR LA TRADUCCION QUE LO NECESITO Y NO SE MUCHO TODAVIA INGLES

[profpv]

@antoniobeltran1118 Amigo, En mi opinión... no vale la pena la traduccion.

[admp2907]

In my opinion, this point of view is one-sided, if not even shortsighted. Because: (a) some costs are underestimated or neglected, e.g., coordination costs (ability, time, effort, money); lost learning and innovation opportunities/potential (i.e. crowding out variability). (b) Several growing business practices suggest the opposite (e.g., enriching customer service reps' jobs with cross-selling responsibility), (c) the trend away from the Tayloristic towards the holistic work organization ...

Hyperspecialization would require expert training for stakeholders involved,. However, what about compensation? As an analogy would a person who has spent his time getting a Masters Degree want to do something small (maybe expert in nature) and repititive?

The age of hyperspecialization probably applies in the production of services - that is to run or maybe grow the production of services - but I can not see this applying in creative work - transformation.

I can listen to the video.yeah--

[writelife39]

Advertising/marketing field in the digital age seems a good example of "hyperspecialization." Traditional ad agencies morphing into networked webs of independent consultants each specializing in separate piece of the puzzle. Concepting, mobile mktg., seo/sem, site design, analytics and monitoring, community mgrs,etc etc.

Offshoot is we need universal health care coverage--or every independent worker is at risk of losing everything due to illness or accident in his/her family.

Hahaha, industrial thinking to the max. I´ve been highly specialized knowledge worker for decades. What academics don´t get is that task are rarely repeatable. And even if they are to some extent the context of ongoing project can variate hugely. What this means is that each task has to be accompanied with lots of tailored instructions. So each task will take lot of time to describe before it can be shared to these narrow experts. Specially when there is lot of creative judgement.

[sinjofin]

I can see lots of design and project work in the KM field beign done this way especially with the increased ease of on-line live collaborations with Google and others.

this is awesome

idea men and flying cars , hands on NO

I know people on discussion boards who claim they have hired virtual assistants for under a dollar an hour at Odesk. Internet stuff like compiling lists of Notice of Default for a zipcode or Absentee Landlords or other types of work that are pure drudgery. So much good paying work in America is information work, this is really scary. It's a thin line between data capture and data analysis.

[intrascoobz]

Trashbin talk from "ask the experts" terminator syndrome. Knowledge jobs? Read , memorize and repeat systems are not knowledge. It's conforming! Designer jobs - lol! Hyper-specialization as in using the add and adhd young generations that have been created by quality control of medicines , food , water and media supplies? Careful & creative work is in thoughtfully dismantling the farming out of tiny pieces to the networks all over the world. Faster cheaper work='free trade' - ahem~

Well i dont agree with Tom's vision here. Highly specialised tasks that generally tend to need large human capital investments also often revolve around things that ARE difficult to transfer over communication mediums. Such as culture, attitudes, ideals and task orientated synergies that are vital for highly specialisted tasks.
