"As we learn to think for ourselves, we must also connect with others. We are only as smart as our knowledge networks. But we do not need someone to manage our connections. The simple guideline of self-direction, often enabled by network technologies, can create beautifully complex relationships amongst interconnected people. "

"What Skills will Self-Sustain Digital Workers? To be fair to IT and HR departments around the world, the digital workplace target does move incredibly fast and is picking up speed. And there never was a finish line. Fortunately, I believe there are novel, effective and increasingly well-understood new ways for most organizations to address their current digital workplace gaps, and it's not (just) by "giving up non-essential control", deploying liberal BYOD/BYOT programs to cultivate employee-led change, figuring out how to do things like learn or change behavior faster, or any of the ten strategies I've previously recommended."

It's not knowledge management" "Another point that stuck with me, as I had witnessed this, was Senge's observation that the field of knowledge management had been co-opted by information technology vendors, and had become useless for organizational learning. I was reminded of this while reading, Lost Knowledge: What are you and your organization doing about it? -"

2008 post - good intro for workers here. "PKM is a set of processes, individually constructed, to help the flow of implicit to explicit knowledge. However, PKM is more about attitude than any particular tool set. It's taking (or rediscovering) our innately curious nature and tapping into it so that we can continue to expand our horizons."

An example to promote my workshops "WHAT YOU WILL LEARN The 2 rules of Personal Kanban - Visualizing work & Limiting work in progress (WIP) - and how they can be implemented. Why Personal Kanban works: the Underlying principles of psychology and Lean thinking. How Personal Kanban can be used as a tool to allow for a continuous improvement in your work."

""The untold story behind today's most innovative brands, however, is what happens behind the scenes. While success stories are plentiful, what most people don't see is the amount of trial, error, and learning that goes into setting up workflows, empowering employees, and figuring out initiatives to prioritize. Regardless of whether you're a part of an established company or two-person startup, the task of bringing new ideas to market is hard." - The Next Web"

Explore this site for ideas for workshop....leading edge on social busines. "For the rest of us who aren't there yet, major change is still evident: The Web itself has become pervasively social as we've changed both the behavior and expectations of our private lives around so many of the ways that we relate to one another. This includes how much (more) we share information now, actively try to build social capital and our personal brands, as well as how we value others. But make no mistake, we are each still learning much about our newfound ability to directly influence the entire world from our tiny corner of it. The incredible leverage that each of us now possesses in the form of social tools is one of the most potent forces in the modern world."

Organizational change to network learning.. seek sense share framework. "How can an organization build awareness, investigate alternatives, and act on complex problems? The organization needs to connect the outside with the inside. This is not a technology challenge but rather a structural one. Organizations need to help knowledge flow and this only happens when people are connected. Technology is a facilitator, but people are the key. This is too often overlooked, as in most enterprise social network implementations, where mere training is bolted on at the end of the technology build. Awareness, alternatives, and action can each be supported within a unified organizational framework. Wirearchy: 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. - Jon Husband"

"irst, knowledge is the result of information (e.g. learning content) AND experience. Knowledge is directly influenced by one's own experience. Therefore there is no such thing as "knowledge transfer". Second, performance is taking action on knowledge."

good material for workshop. Sketches are simple and clear

"I have found that business value keeps shifting. I used to get paid well to help companies select new learning technologies. I have not done that type of work for over five years. I have also seen organizations move away from using external consultants. I think the entire consulting model is ripe for disruptive change. When LinkedIn advertises ex-McKinsey consultants available for $60 per hour, you know that it's an obsolete business model."

"WEAVING INNOVATION INTO THE VERY FABRIC OF YOUR COMPANY Armed with a definition for innovation and the knowledge that it is critical to one's long-term success, organizations must take the next step, which is building a culture of innovation. And this is when the real work begins, because organizations can't just spend their way to successful innovation."

In brief, we have realized that 'neuroplasticity,' the ongoing remodeling of brain structure and function, occurs throughout life.  It can be affected by life experiences, genes, biological agents, and by behavior, as well as by thought patterns. Interestingly, exercise and physical activity in general have a major effect on 'neurotrophic factors'-chemicals that stimulate the growth and recovery of brain cells.

"It's a fallacy to think of networking as a sales tool. Firstly, it's not. Secondly, it might instead be one of the defining sources of value in your business. Business strategist Ross Dawson, author of the (free and highly comprehensible) Future of Work Framework explains how."

"My favourite definition of Digital Literacy that I have found so far is part of a presentation on Digital Literacy in Primary School Sites, an experiment in 3 schools in Ireland (Casey & Bruce, 2010).  They present Digital Literacy as follows:"

"Tacit knowledge is stuff that we know, but we can't explain how to do it.  Think of it this way: have someone throw something at you, and try to catch it.  Now, describe exactly how you figured out where to put your hand to catch the flying car keys (or whatever).  You can't.  There are calculations of speed, and trajectories, and muscle movements, and all of that goes on inside your brain and you can't explain any of it.  That's tacit knowledge. - Tim Kastelle"

Cooperation is the foundation for network strength and worker value!! "From today's perspective, one might say that everyone has to be highly competitive. But the long term effects of hyper-competition will decrease the value of any network. A value network consists of both tangible and intangible asset transactions. Trust is an intangible asset. It enables knowledge to flow. People do not share with those they do not trust. "
