These results are in the form of advice, plans of action or lawsuits. Other elements, such as collaborative worker and knowledge sharer, are less familiar to many in the legal field. Knowledge workers are interested in their personal set of a business' information. Some want it delivered to the desktop, when they want it, without necessarily knowing where it came from. The same information may even yield different results for different purposes depending on the knowledge workers involved.
Knowledge workers produce plans of action for an organization and also create intellectual capital.
Intellectual Capital is knowledge that was already created and has either been turned into profit, or is being held to do so in the future. Knowledge workers create intellectual capital by applying their experience, skill set, creativity and understanding of the workings of the organization to the information at hand. Tangible intellectual assets such as contracts, drawings, inventions, etc. can be created from this intellectual capital, some of which eventually becomes intellectual property. It is still considered a somewhat esoteric branch of technology. Every worker in the organization must understand and contribute to its goals.
