Many folks call this post-industrial age the knowledge era but maybe Dan Pink's term the creative era (reinforced by Richard Florida's work) may be more appropriate. Creative, in terms of creating meaning, may be a better term, but then again creative has many connotations that some may find unsuitable for their field.

Both knowledge and management are limiting terms, and as you say, Tom, management is really the wrong term. Maybe we should say "knowledge managing", as in "I think I'm just barely managing all this knowledge stuff".
