learning amongst ourselves is the real work in organizations today
social learning is how work gets done
Personal knowledge management (PKM) skills can help to make sense of, and learn from, the constant stream of information that workers encounter from social channels both inside and outside the organization.
PKM is a process of filtering, creating, and discerning, and it also helps manage individual professional development through continuous learning.
Work is changing and so organizational learning must change. There is an urgent need for organizational support functions (HR, OD, KM, Training) to move beyond offering training services and toward supporting learning as it is happening in the digitally connected workplace. The connected workplace will not wait for the training department to catch up.
