Another great list located by the venerable Al Macintyre, describing 12 key roles in the knowledge worker's life.

Knowledge Workers Zodiac.
Via Seb's Open Research.

Al has just dug up a gem by David Skyrme on the German language blog fliegenvonferne which describes twelve types (or roles) of knowledge workers. Pretty neat, concise descriptions.

The roles are (see here for the full descriptions):

Expert

Knowledge analyst

Knowledge leader

Knowledge networker

Knowledge custodian

Knowledge creator

Knowledge entrepreneur

Knowledge packager

Knowledge visualiser

Knowledge activist

Knowledge seeker

Storyteller

And a knowledge manager is all 12! It's nice to have the distinctions around the roles and to recognise how each drives different activities. But remember, they are roles describing action - not who we are. I would hate to see "Company X is looking for a knowledge packager. The successful applicant..."
