Peter says, Increasing knowledge turns in the new economy is as good a goal as increasing inventory turns was in the past. The outsourcing trend will be both accelerated and limited by organizational structures that maximize knowledge turns. OEMs will benefit by cooperatively investing with their suppliers in increasing KTs. Smaller suppliers with clear core competencies can beat larger suppliers, if they maximize knowledge turns internally and partner with high-KT suppliers. Knowledge workers should gravitate toward jobs with the highest KTs, since those jobs will offer higher compensation than others.
KTs can serve as a good measure of Web-based collaboration effectiveness.
I agree with Peter s observations and recommendations. We at Cyon Research plan to help Peter continue to explore this measure and its usefulness. Joel Orr, Peter Marks, and Jack Ring will all be there. Plan on joining them to discuss this intriguing concept. Technology Suites .
