Jarche from 2013 on sense making and other parts of PKM

explanation by Diigo of its users--those who affiliate for professional as well as personal reasons--and its utility as the "best personal knowledge managment (PKM) on the market."

promo for Jarche's newest PKM and MOving to Social workshops, May 17, 2015.

Excellent 10 minute presentation by Harold Jarche, Social Learning Centre on Personal Knowledge Management, an intro to PKM workshop, posted May 19, 2012

Another way of developing PKM skills by Jane Hart, a workshop online for five works, starting May 5.

Wonderful blog post on social learning by Sahana Chattopadhyay, October 19, 2014. Identified by Jane Hart. Excerpt: "Then comes the dichotomy of having an enterprise collaboration platform where no one is sharing, where there are no conversations happening, no debates and questions. It's a ghost town. At the end of the day, the platform doesn't matter. The culture of the organization does. An organization with an essentially command and control approach, an overly competitive outlook, and a repressive environment is not yet ready for social learning." Does this mean the employees are not engaging in "social learning"? Not at all. Learning has been social ever since human life was born on this planet and will continue to be so, with or without technology. Individuals will get their work done by talking to peers, reaching out to their network, and bringing their #pln and #pkm to work.

very interesting self-assessment by someone who took Jarche's course on PKM with the self-awareness building components. We struggle with some of the same challenges. Interesting graphic by Jarche in this post on different types of capital.

blog by Harold Jarche on the Connected Workplace, 4.15.2013 Excerpts: "Implicit knowledge is best developed through conversations and social relationships. It requires trust before people willingly share their know-how. Social networks can enable better and faster knowledge feedback for people who trust each and share their knowledge. But hierarchies and work control structures constrain conversations. Few people want to share their ignorance with the boss who controls their paycheck. But if we agree that complex and creative work are where long-term business value lies, then learning amongst ourselves is the real work in organizations today. In this emerging network era, 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." ..."Collaboration skills can help workers to share knowledge so that people work and learn cooperatively in teams, communities of practice, and social networks." ..."Leaders need to understand the importance of organizational architecture. Working smarter in the future workplace starts by organizing to embrace networks, manage complexity, and build trust."

Beth's Blog explains why she uses both pen and paper and digital not taking tools such as Evernote. Beth recommends Alexandra Samuel's e-book ($3.99 on Kindle from Amazon) for how to use Evernote. It has convinced me to make Evernote part of my PKM toolkit. 1/30/13

Blog by Harold Jarche on Leadership is an emergent property of balanced networks, May 29, 2012 Like this assessment of leadership skills in networks: "As networked, distributed workplaces become the norm, trust will emerge from environments that are open, transparent and diverse. As a result of improved trust, leadership will be seen for what it is; an emergent property of a balanced network ["in-balance" may be a better term for this changing state] and not some special property available to only the select few. And this one: Networked contributors (full-time, part-time, contractors) need to work together in a networked environment that facilitates cooperation and collaboration. This is why the narration of work and PKM will become critical skills, as work teams ebb and flow according to need, but the network must remain connected and resilient

Harold Jarche continues to rock my world! October 21, 2013 How do we keep an informed citizenry when we are already choosing TV news sources that affirm our existing points of view? His post began to worry me until I saw that it was ultimately a plug for his PKM workshop. Excerpt: With the consolidation of web media companies, where many, and soon, most of us will be getting our information, it will be increasingly important to build diversity into our own personal and professional learning networks. This may get difficult as more mainstream sites amalgamate their feeds and sources into something similar to Googlezon. Therefore, in this emerging network era, we will need to connect to other people, not centralized information sources, for our own sense-making. Diversity of people in our networks will ensure diversity of thought. This is something that even web media companies cannot control, as long as we maintain control over who we connect to.

nice summary of what it takes to create a networked learning organization. Harold Jarche, May 6, 2015

Harold Jarche from 2014 on engaging knowledge artisans. "Complex environments are the new normal. Relationship building is needed in order to share complex knowledge. Implicit knowledge takes time to share, so time has to be set aside for sense-making, reflecting, and conversing. These are significant workplace changes, but can be mastered with a stable foundation of PKM practiced by interdependent and autonomous knowledge artisans. When everybody is engaged in sense-making, then any organization can better sense where it needs to go."

PLN graphic

Blog post on MOOC on PLN, PLE, etc.

PLN diagram--another example

All kinds of PLE/PLN schematics--have had this in my library but could not share it with WLStudio group until now (technical problem)

Excellent schematic drawn by Jane Hart, Social Learning Centre, UK, to show the new "learning and performance consultants" roles ranging from instructional & resource designers to performance support specialists to collaboration advisors/community managers TO LEARNING ADVISORS, PKM SPECIALISTS, CAREER COACHES (emphasis mine), November 19, 2012

schematic from Jane Hart on the new roles for learning and performance professionals

This is a chapter from a book written by the Ed Techie guy Martin Weller. What is interesting is how he detailed the new methods he used to write his most recent book. Many of the sources and practices that he engaged in for writing the second book did not even exist six years before when he finished writing his first book. These new aids include ready e-journal access, Delicious/social bookmarking, blogs, Youtube, Wikipedia, Slideshare, Scribd, Cloudwords and other sites, his own blog, social network especially twitter, Google alerts, etc. I am not sure how this relates to MOOCs and open landscape learning except he has so much more to manage, and gain from, in having a well developed dashboard of tools for seeking, sensing, and sharing.
