Nine Shift's definition of a knowledge worker also reflects the need to focus on deliverables.

"Knowledge workers:

1. Are paid by their outcomes, what they produce, not by the time they devote.

2. Are only paid for products or projects that are valuable to the organization for which they work.

3. Bring something unique to the organization for which they work. Their value is not in being like other workers, but in being different.

4. Have a marketable set of skills."

Using this definition disqualifies a lot of people who think that they are knowledge workers ;-)
