    Melinda Gates wrote this for International Women's Day - when you invest in women, you invest in the people who invest in everybody else. Empowering women makes good economic sense because the GDP rises when women do. Since they are the ones who are encouraging and caring for their children, their investment in their children's education impacts the future generation as well.

    Manta's tips on having copy that people can and want to read. Pay attention to white space, be useful yet create a sense of urgency, use graphics and pictures, etc. Nothing we don't know but a great reminder to do, and a call to have less text but say more with what you do have.

    blog by George Siemens reflecting on his first week of a dual-layer MOOC, October 28, 2014. "I'm biased toward learners owning their own content and owning the spaces where they learn. My reason is simple: knowledge institutions mirror the architecture of knowledge in the era in which they exist. Today, knowledge is diverse, messy, partial, complex, and rapidly changing. What learners need today is not instructivism but rather a process of personal sensemaking and wayfinding where they learn to identify what is important, what matters, and what can be ignored. Most courses assume that the instructor and designer should sensemake for learners. The instructor chooses the important pieces, sets it in a structured path, and feeds content to learners. Essentially, in this model, we take away the sweet spot of learning. Making sense of topic areas through social and exploratory processes is the heart of learning needs in complex knowledge environments. " Though I am biased toward learner-in-control, I do recognize the value of formal instruction, particularly when the topic area is new to a learner. Even then, I would like to see rapid transitions from content provision to having learners create artifacts that reflect their understanding. These artifacts can be images, audio, video, simulations, blog posts, or any other resource that can be created and shared with other learners. Learning transparently is an act of teaching.

  • To achieve effective results from the endless carousel of data we intake, a moment of disconnection is required; a second to take stock and appraise the stimuli we receive.
  • Do this, and you will experience clarity the likes of which you have never experienced before; the kind of mind-honing clarity which facilitates fresh and innovative thought. It’s too easy for our focus to be obscured and our impetus to be dulled by the ‘noise’ of everyday life

  • 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 role of online community manager, a fast-growing field today, barely existed five years ago.
  • The web enables connections, or constant flow, as well as instant access to information, or infinite stock. Stock on the Internet is everywhere and the challenge is to make sense of it through flows of conversation
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • All organizational value is created by teams and networks.
  • Learning really spreads through social networks. Social networks are the primary conduit for effective organizational performance. Blocking, or circumventing, social networks slows learning, reduces effectiveness and may in the end kill the organization.
  • Social learning is how groups work and share knowledge to become better practitioners. Organizations should focus on enabling practitioners to produce results by supporting learning through social networks. The rest is just window dressing. Over a century ago, Charles Darwin helped us understand the importance of adaptation and the concept that those who survive are the ones who most accurately perceive their environment and successfully adapt to it. Cooperating in networks can increase our ability to perceive what is happening.
  • Wirearchies inherently require trust, and trusted relationships are powerful allies in getting things done in organizations.
  • Three of these (IOL, GDL, PDF) require self-direction, and that is the essence of social learning: becoming self-directed learners and workers, all within a two-way flow of power and authority.
  • rom Stocks to Flow
  • Knowledge: the capacity for effective action. “Know how” is the only aspect of knowledge that really matters in life. Practitioner: someone who is accountable for producing results. Learning may be an individual activity but if it remains within the individual it is of no value whatsoever to the organization. Acting on knowledge, as a practitioner (work performance) is all that matters. So why are organizations in the individual learning (training) business anyway? Individuals should be directing their own learning. Organizations should focus on results.
  • Because of this connectivity, the Web is an environment more suited to just-in-time learning than the outdated course model.
  • Organizing
  • our own learning is necessary for creative work.
  • Developing emergent practices, a necessity when there are no best practices in our changing work environments, requires constant personal directed learning.
  • Developing social learning practices, like keeping a work journal, may be an effort at first but later it’s just part of the work process. Bloggers have learned how powerful a learning medium they have only after blogging for an extended period.
  • we should extend knowledge gathering to the entire network of subject-matter expertise.
  • Building capabilities from serendipitous to personally-directed and then group-directed learning help to create strong networks for intra-organizational learning.
  • Our default action is to turn to our friends and trusted colleagues; those people with whom we’ve shared experiences. Therefore, we need to share more of our work experiences in order to grow those trusted networks. This is social learning and it is critical for networked organizational effectiveness.

  • They’ve not participated in online forums, shared their own learning journeys though sense making activities such as blogging or working out loud. Many have not used their own enterprise social networks.
  • In order to understand the impact of social learning, the learning and development professional will need to have gone through the personal learning journey themselves.
  • They need to be social themselves.
  • This means that they are already incorporating new skills such as social collaboration, network building,  knowledge sharing, working out loud, content curation and publishing, community building and sense making into their own work.

  • But investing in both strategies to minimize those issues (via a sophisticated commenting, social management, or forum system) and people to help soothe the pain is very much a way to help solve those pain points. If you’re not investing, you’re just opening yourself up to problems.
  • A controlled community of members commenting on a subject? Perhaps a better one.
  • public interaction—particularly, the framing of that interaction—needs to make sense with your association’s overall business goals,and if it doesn’t, it’s worth considering cutting bait.

  • One of the golden rules of sense-making is that any framework or model that can’t be drawn on a table napkin from memory has little utility. The reason for this is pretty clear, if people can use something without the need for prompts or guides then there are more likely to use it and as importantly adapt it. Models with multiple aspects, more than five aspects (its a memory limit guys live with it) or which require esoteric knowledge are inherently dependency models.
  • So apply the table napkin test before you take up any new method, model or framework

  • Cultivating Learning agility is instilling (or re-instilling for many) a sense of curiosity in new ideas, and the willingness to explore the unfamiliar or established. It is developing the ability and instinct for a person to try to navigate uncharted areas to them or to their organization.
  • They particularly prepare people to best leverage emergent, dynamic, evolving and volatile contexts such as matrix- or network-organizations and teams, communities of practice, virtual teams and workplaces and external partnerships and ecosystems. These apply to any job role internal or external, in cross-functional or cross-team capacities.

  • Hot-desking, as I'm sure you know, is the practice of not assigning desks to staff but requiring them to find a new workspace each day.
  • Hot-desking is often accompanied by "activity-based working", where staff are issued laptops or other technology and given the flexibility to work wherever and whenever.
  • Problems included increased distrust, distractions, uncooperative behaviour and negative relationships.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Research published in academic journal Applied Economics earlier this year included a survey of 1000 Australian employees. It found as work environments become more shared, workers report increased demands and decreased supervisor support. Workplace friendships are not improved as a result.
  • The research suggests the practice of movement creates additional work and a sense of marginalisation for hot-deskers.
  • For me the most fascinating insight was the finding that a social structure emerges distinguishing employees who settle in one place and become quasi-owners of a desk, and others who have to move constantly. That's certainly true from my experience.
