  • Even the mainstream training field is realizing that reduced layers of bureaucracy mean decision-making gets pushed down the organization chart. This
  • is the message of the AMA in the promotional video – Critical Thinking: Not just a C-suite skill.  However, wirearchy takes this one important step further by advocating a two-way flow of power and authority. In both cases, the need for critical thinking is evident.
  • A personal knowledge management process can help to develop critical thinking skills, where sense-making includes observing, studying, challenging (especially one’s assumptions), and evaluating. Developing these skills takes practice, appropriate feedback and an environment that supports critical thinking.

  • Several web tools can be used to develop critical thinking skills; the foundation of PKM:
  • Wirearchy as the organizational framework, coupled with active personal knowledge management processes, is a step in that direction
  • how important an open source framework is as we move more of our computing to the cloud
  • issues on how Ning treats its customers, users and their data.
  • While Ning may be free, it is not open source, and the company can make changes at will, just like Facebook, Google or Twitter may do.
  • I advise my clients that they should consider how important their data is to them before using software as a service (SaaS). Can the data be easily exported? With social bookmarks, it is easy to export and import OPML files from one platform to another. It is also simple to export from WordPress.com SaaS to your own open source hosted version
  • With Ning, Facebook and many others, there is no such export function
  • So what is the alternative to Ning?
  • For large enterprise projects I have used Drupal as a community management platform and it works well, though it requires solid technical support.
  • Elgg, an open source social networking platform that attracted me because of its unique underlying mode
  • The key differentiator of Elgg is that the individual is the centre of all the action
  • This is real user control
  • The Elgg platform has matured in the past six years and has a strong community and a solid product (v. 1.7).
  • One major advantage of Elgg will be the ability to take your data and have it hosted elsewhere.
  • Supporting communities like Elgg and Drupal means that we can have more control over our use of web technologies. As business and education move to the web and the cloud, open-source platforms will help to ensure that some corporate board doesn’t decide our future for us.

  • In a nonlinear, dynamic world, everything exists only in relationship to everything else, and the interactions among agents in the system lead to complex, unpredictable outcomes.

  • Complexity and a human-centered approach to management
  • management practice guided by complexity science will focus on
  • relationships that leads to a very human orientation of the workplace
  • human-centered approaches in management
  • For more than half a century, there has been a constant battle between human-oriented management and scientific, or mechanistic, management, with the latter prevailing.
  • But it is only now, and for the first time, that there is a science behind the human-oriented approach
  • With complexity science, we have a human-oriented management practice emerging from science, a novelty.
  • Peter Seng
  • notes that the prevailing mechanistic model of business encourages managers to see people as machines, not as people
  • knowledge-based economy
  • when people are treated as replaceable parts, as objects to control, are taught to be compliant, are used as fuel for the existing system�inevitably the organization will be fraught with frustration, anger, and isolation, which ultimately is detrimental to the business.
  • managers focus exclusively on producing goods and services and forget that the organization is a community of human beings
  • if people are treated as machines, not as people, they are unlikely to give loyalty and trust and they will not give of their best.
  • "When an organization loses its shared vision and principles, its sense of community, it is already in a process of decay and dissolution even though it may linger with the outward appearance of success for some time
  • The companies we worked with, that engaged their organizations as complex adaptive systems, whether consciously or intuitively, were al
  • very successful in traditional bottom line terms, not despite being human-oriented, but rather
  • Management guided by the principles of complexity science
  • therefore
  • constitutes a style that is very human oriented in that it recognizes that relationships are the bottom line of business, and that creativity, culture, and productivity emerge from these interactions
  • And when those interactions are more connected and caring than not,
  • a sense of community emerges
  • increasing an organization�s potential adaptability.
  • A human-centered approach to management is not new
  • What is new is that the science of complexity gives a scientific foundation for a human-oriented management approach;
  • that is, it gives an explanation of why a human oriented management practice is successful, and a rationale for why to take this approach.
  • The complexity-guided style of management is hard to do,
  • especially for managers who seek safety in a command-and-control practice
  • It is hard even for those who embrace its principles
  • because the everyday urgency of business can make time spent interacting and nurturing relationships seem like a waste of time,
  • it requires strong interpersonal skills, and constant vigilance of one�s own behavior and the behavior of others
  • Emerging Patterns in Management Behavior
  • complex patterns are typically generated from a few simple rules of behavior for the individual agents in the system
  • There was for a long time the belief in science that complex order in the world was generated by complex processes.
  • Contrary to this belief, however, complexity scientists have discovered that
  • We saw common behaviors for sustaining constructive relationships within the organization
  • which generated
  • a different way of working and being
  • We saw particular ways of thinking and behaving
  • that cultivated conditions for a more adaptable system, from which a collective sense of connection and care emerged.
  • We call these
  • different ways of being in the workplace
  • paradoxical leadership
  • a way of leading change
  • emergent teams
  • relational practice
  • a way of working together that keeps organizations on the edge; and
  • a way of developing trust and loyalty through rich connections.
  • Paradoxical leadership
  • From a complexity perspective, paradoxes are not problematic
  • Instead paradoxes are indicative of being on the edge; paradoxes create a tension from which creative solutions emerge
  • All the leaders had come from a command and control tradition
  • They had come to recognize that they had limited control; that they depended and needed others to achieve their aims; and that they didn�t, nor should or could, have all the answers
  • This perspective expanded their style of leadership, rather than replaced it.
  • They didn�t manage people
  • They acted more as cultivators than managers.
  • Instead leaders cultivated conditions to increase positive connections in their organizations, and in their economic web, from which nonlinear results could emerge.
  • four common behaviors
  • that guided their leadership style and how they related others:
  • Allow
  • Accessible
  • Attuned
  • allowed things to unfold, allowed mistakes, and open experimentation
  • They gave a strong direction in terms of purpose and values, and then allowed people to find their own solutions according to these guidelines.
  • physically accessible to the people in the organization, to customers, to partners
  • Being accessible helped these leaders to have a finger on the pulse of the organization
  • Leaders were simultaneously aware of the organization as a whole and as a living organism--at the macro level, but also attuned to the interactive level; that is, the micro level of connections and disconnections within the organization.
  • Emergent Teams
  • emergent teams are self-organizing, self-selected, and self-governing
  • Rather than teams being imposed on workers
  • Emergent teams are a democratic approach to problem solving and opportunity seeking
  • People organize around tasks rather than positions
  • The manager�s task shifts from managing people to cultivating conditions for teams to emerge by
  • 2, cultivating an information-rich context,
  • 1, cultivating group relationships,
  • 3, cultivating connections
  • The emergent teams themselves had three characteristics

Al parecer, la creatividad pudiera requerir un cierto coeficiente intelectual (120), pero por encima del mismo, no necesariamente se es mas creativo. El pensamiento divergente conduce a soluciones resultado de 'acuerdos' (implica fluidez o capacidad para generar gran cantidad de ideas; flexibilidad o capacidad para conmutar de una perspectiva a otra; y originalidad a la hora de proponer asociaciones de ideas). Concluye que, en cualquier caso, el pensamiento divergente requiere, para que sea creativo, del pensamiento convergente, también.

  • Creative individuals, on the other hand, seem to exhibit both traits simultaneously

  • It is impossible to be creative without having first internalized an area of culture
  • 9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.
  • 10. Creative people's openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment
  • A negative impulse is always frustrating
  • Without the passion, we soon lose interest in a difficult task

      ELGG sin duda.
  • The first task is to establish a design for the social interaction. This must come before technology selection, so that the limitations of the technology do not drive or constrain the interaction.
  • Why consider a social network for manager training?

      En lugar de 'trabajadores' podemos plantear 'los nuevos estudiantes' (Gen 'net'), que prefieren frecuentemente usar interacción social onlne, y aprendizaje online, antes que formación presencial en Aula.

  • These are the workers who will be your new supervisors and managers
  • workers in their 20s and 30s expect to be able to use the latest IT applications in their workplace. They are used to social networking online, and to online learning, often preferring these to classroom instruction
  • In addition, this also will encourage open communication between companies, employers, HR departments, owners, and managers.” 
  • Without appropriate technology tools and resources available in their work environment, they may look for help from non-work related services such as Facebook.com. Integrating social media into the development environment eliminates this potential challenge and at the same time increases the potential for success of the development effort and of the new managers. 
  • Can social networking provide a practical way to help prepare new managers for their duties? Considering the rapid growth of social networking adoption among younger workers, this is a question well worth asking
  • Creating a curriculum for training new managers and supervisors is a common task that falls to instructional designers
  • The typical approach for many decades has consisted of a combination of classroom events, each lasting from one to five days (or more). This default design has many problems, including travel expense and time away from the job for the managers. Not infrequently, there are severe mismatches between what is taught and the actual practices supported by the organization’s culture.
  • There is an increasing number of companies and online service providers who are convinced that social networking can help overcome at least some of the issues common to the classroom-only approach
  • By combining formal classroom instruction and online reference and performance support with online coaching, mentoring, and informal learning through social networking, a new manager can gain a solid theory foundation, just-in-time help, and culturally correct application pointers.
  • Informal learning, as an object of attention by researchers, is not a new topic. However, it only appeared on the radar screens of instructional designers less than ten years ago. The emergence of online social media has led to the notion of somehow tapping into the potential of this channel, that carries so much of the real learning that goes on in organizations.
  • In our current age, we have plenty of channels in which informal learning can take place: everything from microblogs (Twitter), to communities (LinkedIn Groups, discussion forums), to user-created content (wikis, Weblogs, YouTube), to social bookmarking (Delicious), and surely more to come.
  • But we also have plenty of examples of attempts at use of these channels in which the attempts failed. The virtual landscape is littered with the remains of abandoned wikis, content-less and comment-less Weblogs, and LinkedIn Groups where the spam has driven out the discussion and all but eliminated any possibility of learning.
  • Existing informal learning groups online include a surprising variety of formats
  • Jay Cross’ Internet Time Community,
  • Participants in the Twitter #lrnchat sessions also comprise an ongoing informal learning group
  • if informal learning is going to take place online, it must be self-sustaining

  • LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are incredibly cost-effective venues for growing relationships and promoting your law practice
  • lawyers approach social networking to market their practices
  • There are lots of tools available to help
  • ...54 more annotations...
  • Let’s explore some of the best ones for the “big three” social networking sites for lawyers: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
  • Taming Twitter
  • is a great way to network with other lawyers and potential clients interested in a given practice area.
  • an enormous number of tools have grown up around Twitter to augment and improve the user’s experience. Here are four ways to augment your use of Twitter, along with tools to get you there.
  • Once you start following more than a few people on Twitter, it can quickly become chaotic.
  • Organize your streams into groups
  • you need a way to organize your Twitter stream.
  • Third-party applications that allow users to create groups make quick work of imprinting order on the chaos. These applications let you organize your stream by your relationship to the Twitterer (e.g., family, friends, work colleagues) or by subject (e.g., law practice management, New York Yankees). You can even create a small VIP group for the people whose tweets you never want to miss.
  • Go multimedia.
  • the ability to send photos and videos change the way you can use Twitter.
  • TwitPic, which is free and easy to use, is our choice for photo sharing on Twitter.
  • to allow you to send videos to Twitter
  • it provides a means to extend your brand and demonstrate your ability to produce a deliverable service through relationship building.
  • Use Twitter to publicize your blog
  • Twitter can be an excellent avenue for publicizing your blog. Posting a short, simple tweet that says “New blog post at [insert blog name here]” followed by a link to the blog post is all that’s required. The authors are both bloggers who track our respective blog stats somewhat obsessively, and Twitter is often one of the biggest sources of traffic to our blogs.
  • There are several third-party applications that automate the process offeeding these short updates, including the blog URL, to Twitter.
  • Twitterfeed
  • Carry it in your pocket.
  • For many busy professionals, the number one objection to Twitter is “I just don't have time for it!”
  • There are many hyperbusy and productive people who use Twitter. The key is realizing that Twitter isn't something you make time for—it’s something that you fit into time slots that become available.
  • To capitalize on the small windows of time that become available in life
  • you must have Twitter available in your pocket. Which means the solution is to get a tool that lets you access it from your smartphone.
  • The options depend on your model of phone.
  • Figuring Out Facebook
  • Facebook (www.facebook.com) is a more complex social media site
  • TwitVid
  • Achieving that aim, however, requires using the correct tools on the site to focus the right content on the right people. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of Facebook.
  • Control where the information flows
  • Unlike Twitter, Facebook will open up your life (and your family and your old college friends) to the world unless you seize control. Consequently, you need to distinguish between people that get to share your life and those that don't. You do this by creating a “list” under the News Feed column on the left-hand side of your Facebook home page. For example, you can create one list for “Friends and Family” and a separate one for “Professional” contacts. Once you've created a list, you can then restrict the list members' access to certain types of information.
  • Test your restrictions by going to the top of the Privacy Profile page, where you can use the “See how a friend sees your profile” button. Very enlightening.
  • Monitor your Wall.
  • Go to Settings, Account Settings and then Notifications, where you tell Facebook to notify you (by e-mail or SMS) about what, when and where things are added to your Wall. Also, make sure that you know when you have been tagged in a photo, just in case you don’t like the view.
  • Remember Google in your privacy shield
  • At the Search menu, you can set your Facebook search visibility, which determines what content may be searched internally and, separately, you can choose whether to allow search engines to see your Wall.
  • Feed your blog post to your profile.
  • Facebook also allows you to extend the reach of your blog
  • by feeding your blog posts to your profile page.
  • You can do the same thing for your Twitter posts.
  • Try a more business-centric focus if you like.
  • If you believe your Facebook presence should be more about your law practice as an entity than about you personally, you should use the Business Page feature.
  • An alternative to a Facebook Business Page is the Facebook Groups option.
  • Living with LinkedIn
  • networking community that is targeted specifically to professional users
  • It offers excellent integrated applications for building your brand name and promoting your expertise, including the ability to create your own communities within the community. Here are the keys to using it successfully.
  • Develop a great profile.
  • profile that emphasizes your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses.
  • Be bold but truthful
  • Spread your message using the integrated applications.
  • The applications give you a number of opportunities to demonstrate your interests and your expertise
  • Get and give recommendations on the site
  • Actively participate in groups.
  • Using Your Time Slots to the Best Advantage
  • Last but not least, remember that social networking never stops. So, to stay in the game from wherever you are, you should go mobile with Facebook and LinkedIn. Based for your phone mode
  • There you have it—a whole list of great tactics for improving your social networking projects to get the most out of your online business development efforts. As they say, if you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Use the tips and tools covered here and you’ll see a whole lot more in the social networking world.
