    It's hilarious when you think about it: technology is touted as being one of the key drivers of change, but those people sitting on power over how we use IT in companies and administrations are some of the least capable of embracing change.

    The reactions give even more insight. Trying out innovative new tools is by the respondents regarded as sth that is not key to business processes. You should only be allowed to use tools that are tested. Understandable from some perspectives, but couldn't IT departments become a little more open in supporting and working together with advanced users?

Is the Tipping Point Toast? -- Duncan Watts -- Trendsetting - 0 views

    A while ago, Roger Blamire mentioned a book called The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell that discusses how change comes about and advocates, amongst other things, the idea that a limited number of key players largely influence the spread of innovation. These trendsetters have come to be called the "influentials". A recent article in FastCompany challenges this idea, writing about the work done by Duncan Watts. Through large scale computer simulations, the latter arrives to the conclusion that the spread of idea has more to do with the "readiness" of society to accept them than the presence of trendsetters.  The polarity between the two approaches, accentuated by the journalist, may be misleading. Both ideas are probably parts of the overall picture. If you are interested about how change takes places, this article is worth a read.

  • "Thinking is now distributed," he said, "across minds, tools and media, groups of people, and space and time." It is important, he shared, for people to be fluent in new technologies and literacies because more and more jobs are disappearing that require classical knowledge.
  • Web 2.0, Dede noted, is "centered around Web-based communities, where the central theme is to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing." It is an environment where knowledge is gained through bottom-up, individual methods, rather than top-down, traditional forms. "Web 2.0," he said, "is a major paradigm shift in the way people think."

      Creativity and collaboration and sharing are not an automatic results of using web tools. They require the right practices and the right institutional conditions if they are to survive and flourish.
  • In a world where learners are being shaped by the things they do outside of the classroom, he said, how do we prepare students for careers that do not exist yet and that will be driven by these very same methods of learning?

    A talk by a specialist in teacher training about the impact of Web 2.0 on education. For those already interested in change in education thanks to ICT, this may bring little new. When are people going to go beyond statements about how things are radically changing to what we are going to do about it?

  • The demand for innovation is soaring in the business community and is just beginning to gain traction in the political sphere.
  • And expect the whole realm of social networking to change in 2008. Just when you "got it" and thought it was all about open, personal, and casual online relationships, social media will morph into another ecosystem—one with lots of gates.
  • Companies are demanding new tools and methods to execute that change within their existing organizations, as well as for the kind of design thinking that transforms cultures.

    A not very inspiring look at the near future from Business Week. It does confirm the ever-growing interest in innovation in the US that is also being felt in Europe.

creativity innovation schools

shared by Alan McCluskey on 12 Jan 08 - Cached
  • Creativity develops the capacity to imagine the world differently. We all need an ability not just to cope with change, but also to positively thrive on it and engineer it for ourselves.  Therefore, young people need the tools to conceptualise how the world could be different and the inner confidence and motivation to make it happen.  They need to be able to take risks and fail confidently. To do this young people need to enjoy learning, know how to seek out relevant information, apply knowledge and skills in new and imaginative ways and try out ideas in real world situations where they can observe real outcomes and receive generative critical feedback.
