The shift from production tools to organization tools

 Interesting post from Cal Newport on the shift from production tools in business (such as word processors ...) to organization tools (wrike, trello and such). Obviously, it is about knowledge workers.

I have to comment that they (knowledge workers) are rediscovering the wheel. Workflow normalization is an "ancient" concept in industry, and such tools (CAD - CAM and PLM software, then ERP solutions) and philosophies (Fordism, Toyotism, ...) are used widely to improve the production.

One can extrapolate on that saying that "data" is the new "product", and it makes sense in the context of the "data" revolution.

Maybe even some robust workflows will emerge in the actual "far west" of workflow solutions.
