Socializing Your Enterprise to Succeed in a Creative Economy - 0 views

  •  
    "What does it mean to socialize the enterprise? Often, the primary focus of this term is the outward-facing social media strategy of the company and/or the social collaboration infrastructure it uses. But in reality, these two aspects are just the tip of the iceberg. A socialized enterprise incorporates the entire stakeholder landscape and platforms for bridging these connections: the consumer-facing social media strategy of the company, collaboration within the organization and the way the company interacts with clients and, no less important, its external partners."

Harold Jarche » Social Learning, Complexity and the Enterprise - 0 views

  • There is a growing demand for the ability to connect to others. It is with each other that we can make sense, and this is social. Organizations, in order to function, need to encourage social exchanges and social learning due to faster rates of business and technological changes. Social experience is adaptive by nature and a social learning mindset enables better feedback on environmental changes back to the organization.
  • The Internet has fundamentally changed how we communicate on a scale as large as the printing press or the advent of written language.
  • Our relationship with knowledge is changing as our work becomes more intangible and complex. Notice how most value in today’s marketplace is intangible, with Google’s multi- billion dollar valuation an example of value in non-tangible processes that could be deflated with the development of a better search algorithm. Non-physical assets comprise about 80 percent of the value of Standard & Poor’s 500 US companies in leading industries.

  • A collective, social learning approach, on the other hand, takes the perspective that learning and work happen as groups and how the group is connected (the network) is more important than any individual node within it.
  • The manner in which we prepare people for work is based on the Taylorist perspective that there is only one way to do a job and that the person doing the work needs to conform to job requirements [F.W. Taylor, The Principles of Scientific Management, 1911]. Individual training, the core of corporate learning and development, is based on the premise that jobs are constant and those who fill them are interchangeable.
  • Individual learning in organizations is basically irrelevant because work is almost never done by one person.
  • Social learning is how groups work and share knowledge to become better practitioners.
  • “a dynamic two-way flow of power and authority, based on knowledge, trust, credibility and a focus on results, enabled by interconnected people and technology”.

Key social learning resources: Part 1 Learning in the Social Workplace - 0 views

  • Social learning has become the latest trending concept in the learning world.
  • the freedom to act and cooperate with others.
  • “One current theme in the workplace and education circles is to “blend” social with the formal and structured. But social learning is not a bolted-on component of our formal educational and training programs. It is a sea change. It will disrupt institutions built upon the technology of  the printing press – all communication enterprises, including education. Yes, we have always learned and worked socially, but we have never had the power of ridiculously easy group-forming or almost zero-cost duplication of our words and images.”

  • “As personal, working and learning tools are merging, more and more are “doing their own thing” in order to address their own learning and performance purposes, so we could also refer to this as  the consumerisation of learning.”

    This article first appeared in TrainingZone on 7 September 2011, but is reproduced here for those who don't have a TZ account. During social learning month, Jane Hart will be providing some weekly articles curating some key resources about social learning. 1. Social learning has become the latest trending concept in the learning world. Although there have been, and there will be, many articles providing a definition of what social learning is all about, I think this article by Dennis Callahan sums it up, and makes it quite clear - social learning is like gravity - it's just there all the time.

Social Learning doesn't mean what you think it does! Learning in the Social Workplace - 0 views

  • “One current theme in the workplace and education circles is to “blend” social with the formal and structured.

  • “Social Business” is not about technology, or about “corporate culture.” It is a socio-political historical shift that is bigger, broader and much more fascinating. A new perspective is changing how we think about society, politics, interpersonal relationships, science, government and business. New approaches are emerging. Learning and self-expression are exploding. Values are changing. Leadership is changing. The economy is changing. Change itself is changing — it is accelerating and becoming the norm.”

Social Media + Learning is more than Social Learning - 0 views

  • There are two key areas where this is happening and where it is having an impact on organisational learning.Extensive use of public social media sites like YouTube, Scribd, Slideshare, Blogger, Wordpress, Wikipedia, and so on, that support the creation, sharing and commenting of content, as well as the co-creation of content, means that workers are now using similar approaches in their organisations to co-create and share their own content within their own work teams.Extensive use of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc where individuals have built a personal network of trusted friends, means that they are using similar approaches to build networks of trusted colleagues (both internally and externally), as well as power team workspaces and internal communities of practice.
  • It is clear that a huge number of people who have been using social media for their personal use have now recognised their value for professional use, and are also using the very same tools to address their own organisational problems – mainly because enterprise systems just don’t provide them with the functionality they require to do so. Forrester estimated this was around 47% business users in early 2011 and was likely to rise to 60% by then end of the year.
  •  
    Although we learn every day, in everything we do, whether it is in what we read, watch or listen to, or in the conversations and discussions we have with other people, at some time people started believing that the only important learning happens in a formal setting, e.g. in a school classroom or a university lecture hall.

Free Whitepaper: Semantic Technologies Tap Unrealized Potentials of Social Business Pla... - 0 views

  •  
    Social technologies and collaboration tools start to find broad acceptance in the enterprise domain. As well, semantic technologies have been around for a while, offering a range of benefits in the handling of information, including the pervasive linking of content, fostering new forms of content discovery and navigation, and improving content metadata and information retrieval.

Harold Jarche » Social learning: the freedom to act and cooperate with others - 0 views

  • Social learning is the lubricant of networked, collaborative work.
  • self-organized (social) groups for learning and working. If work is learning, and learning is the work, then shouldn’t the workplace be structured as a learning environment?
  •  
    The Net, especially working and learning in networks, subverts many of the hierarchies we have developed over hundreds of years. Formal education is one example, as shown in this excellent article by Cathy Davidson:

Gamification Is More Than A Game For Businesses - Forbes - 0 views

  • My premise is that the term gamification doesn’t accurately depict the benefits a business can achieve.
  • The truth is that game mechanics have been used in business for some time. For example, companies currently use leader boards for sales and loyalty programs for customers. We are already using other terms that offer some of the same benefits such as engagement strategies, game mechanics, advocacy, and rewards.
  • Why do we care about gamification?

  • Duggan says it’s bigger than gamification because it incorporates all the ways we can measure and influence behavior.
  • Badgeville describes it as encompassing trends such as game mechanics, big data, identity, analytics, reputation, social, community and collaboration. BLM is the process of measuring and influencing behavior to meet your business goals.
  • behavior lifecycle management (BLM)
  • gamification provides benefits to almost any firm but you need to focus on building the experience and adapting the experience over time to keep your constituents engaged.
  •  
    Gamification is the latest buzzword on the street. It ranked a keynote panel session at Enterprise 2.0 in November and it was one of two main topics discussed at the recent Institute for Social, Search and Mobile Marketing (ISSMM) K1 Executive Roundtable.
