What stops us from putting knowledge into action? | All of us are smarter than any of u... - 0 views

  •  
    Blog post by Chris Collison, , on why organizations don't value implementing in a more systematic way the documented learning. "In my experience, many organisations sometimes treat lessons learned like they are an end in themselves - as though the value has to remain in the document - rather than where possible leading to actions which embody the learning. These actions might include updating a process, policy, standard or system has been updated to incorporate the learning, which removes the need to promote the lessons or recommendations to future teams. So why do some organisations settle for a pile of lessons rather than a set of improvements? Some possibilities: It's much easier to write a document than see a change through to completion. It's too difficult to find the owner of the process which needs changing. I'm measured on how many lessons our project captures. We have invested in customizing SharePoint to capture lessons learned documents, and need to show that we're using it. Although I wrote the recommendation, I'm not 100% confident that we should change the process for everyone."

Top 10: The Quotable Eric Schmidt - Digits - WSJ - 0 views

  •  
    WSJ/Digits by Courtney Banks, January 21, 2011 Quote: ""Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line but not cross it. I would argue that implanting things in your brain is beyond the creepy line. At least for the moment, until the technology gets better."" 6. In an August 2010 interview published in the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Schmidt posited that someday people would need to be able to change their names on reaching adulthood, in order to avoid embarassing information about them recorded on their friends' social-networking sites: "I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time … I mean we really have to think about these things as a society." 5. Speaking on a panel at the Techonomy conference in August 2010, Mr. Schmidt touted how Google image-search technology could be used to identify people: "If you have 14 pictures on the Internet, within a 95% confidence interval we can predict who you are. You say you don't have 14 pictures? You have Facebook pictures, so there."

Virtual Leadership Development Program (VLDP) | Management Sciences for Health - 1 views

  •  
    As I was reviewing Nancy White's blogs, one included a link to this page on virtual leadership development. Knowing Nancy, I was confident that it would be good and it is. What I like about it is the emphasis on developing leadership skills within an organization for a bunch of people, not just a few named leaders at the top. Plus the integration of the online work with an onsite team that chooses and collaborates on a critical issue in the workplace--this is real world leadership to solve problems facing the organization or environment, etc.

This is Why Kids Need to Learn to Code | DMLcentral - 0 views

  •  
    Stumbled into this blog post on why kids need to learn to code by Doug Belshaw, November 28, 2013 on Digital Media + Learning: The Power of Participation Love this rationale for why learning to code is important because I believe these arguments apply to adults acquiring greater digital literacy as well--it makes the reasons explicit. Coding is defined as learning to read and write a machine language; some are easier than others just like spoken language is. Reasons to learn to code 1. Problem-solving 2. (digital) confidence 3. Understanding the world (realizing that you can not only change and influence things but build things of value to others) In the comments, readers suggested these additional reasons: design thinking, understanding systems, knowing when to amend or break them and soft skills such as sharing your work, receiving feedback and critique to build diplomacy and negotiation skills.

    Web site for Digital Competence: European-wide validation for all levels of learning "Objective:  Identify the key components of Digital Competence (DC) in terms of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to be digitally competent; Develop a DC framework/guidelines that can be validated at European level, taking into account relevant frameworks currently available; Propose a roadmap for the possible use and revision of a DC framework for all levels of learners. Outcomes: (1) a consolidated draft proposal for a DC framework, applicable at all levels of education, including non-formal settings (2) roadmap on how to realise and revise the DC framework. Rationale: With the 2006 European Recommendation on Key Competences (Official Journal L 394 of 30.12.2006), Digital Competence has been acknowledged as one of the 8 key competences for Lifelong Learning by the European Union. Digital Competence can be broadly defined as the confident, critical and creative use of ICT to achieve goals related to work, employability, learning, leisure, inclusion and/or participation in society. DC is a transversal key competence which, as such, enables acquiring other key competences (e.g. language, maths, learning to learn, creativity). It is amongst the so-called 21st Century skills which should be acquired by all citizens, to ensure their active socio-economic participation in society and the economy. Major questions: What are the key components of DC and what kind of knowledge, skills and attitudes people should have to be digitally competent, today and in the future? How can and/or should the development of this competence be validated at European level within a lifelong learning context, thus encompassing formal education, non-formal and informal learning and the world of work?

  •  
    Scott Dinsmore's TED talk about how he found the work he loved by hanging around those he saw doing what he wanted to do, and seeing that it could be done. Being with people who took a risk to work at their passion allowed him to feel more confident, gain valuable incite and advice from them, and forge ahead much more successfully. His steps for quitting your job and doing what you love is to become a self expert first, then find those who are doing what you want to do.

Malia's decision to take a gap year isn't just good for her - it's good for the country - 0 views

  • There is growing research showing that taking a bridge year boosts motivation, confidence and achievement and, for many, a cost savings as it decreases the timeline to graduation. 
  • When we enable students to step out of the classroom and focus on what really matters, they discover who they are and who they hope to become. And they do that before someone (whether a parent, benefactor or government program) makes the single largest investment of a young person’s life: a college education.
  • It's time to rebrand the “gap year” as what it has the potential to be -- a “bridge year” or “launch pad” -- and to make it a more encouraged, accepted and accessible option for kids from all backgrounds.

Why Women Lose Ambition | Shelly Darnutzer | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • As I reflected on my own experience over a 25-year career in technology, I realized that there is more to it than an oppressive male dominated environment and an unconscious bias in corporate cultures that hold us back. 
  • Personal power is the energy behind all your actions. 
  • It’s the way of putting your ideas, visions and inspirations out in the world.  When you’ve internalized negative beliefs and disempower yourself, you are shutting down the flow of energy to do meaningful work, to take action on your own behalf, and to trust your decision making process because you begin to live in a state of constant self-doubt and frustration.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The costs of self-doubt are huge: think of all the opportunities that have been lost, ideas not shared, important questions not raised, and the ways you’ve held back from experiencing life on a bigger scale.
  • Over time, the result is a self-imposed limitation and loss of connection to why you are doing what you’re doing.  It is not uncommon to experience a certain amount of “deadness”, a loss of confidence in your abilities, a reluctance to try new things, and even a loss of health and vitality.
  • Internalization is the unconscious mental process where characteristics, beliefs, feelings and attitudes of other people are assimilated into your own self identity.

Living by the Numbers: The Database - SPIEGEL ONLINE - 0 views

  • The self-confident founders of Kreditech lend money through the Internet: short-term mini-loans of up to €500, with the average customer receiving €109. Instead of requiring credit information from their customers, they determine the probability of default on their own, using a social scoring method that consists of high-speed data analysis. "Ideally, the money should be in customers' accounts within 15 minutes of approval.
  • Kreditech also requires access to Facebook profiles, so that it can verify whether a user's photo and location match information on other social networking sites, like Xing and LinkedIn -- and whether his or her friends include many with similar education levels or many colleagues working in the same company.
  • All of this increases the likelihood that Kreditech is dealing with a real person.

  • Their real goal is to develop an international, self-updating creditworthiness database for other companies, such as online retailers.

Smart Workers Seek Out Advice, Study Suggests - The New York Times - 0 views

  • They are afraid to ask for advice.

  • those who seek advice are perceived as more competent than those who do not
  • ...2 more annotations...
