Definitely the intro video for PKM and HJ "Here is a short video introduction on why personal knowledge mastery (PKM) is becoming a required skill and mindset for professionals today. "

Core content; introduction for PKM "Why PKM? Motivation is the key to any learning, so having your own unique PKM practice is empowering. Training and education look backwards and cannot address what might be. Organizations do not learn, people do. The active practice of PKM integrates work and learning in our minds. Networked individuals are more resilient and adaptive than any organization. The lifespan of organizations is decreasing and individuals have to take control of their career professional development. Getting connected outside of work creates a support network for any future disruption. PKM is the core competency for network era work that increasingly requires curiosity, creativity, and empathy."

Perfect simple explanation of pkm - use for workship "PKM builds reflection into our learning and working, helping us adapt to change and new situations. It can also help develop critical thinking skills. The discipline of PKM helps each person become a contributing node in a knowledge network. It is the foundation for social learning, which will help us develop new network era infrastructures to replace outdated institutions and markets. It does not matter what it is called, but seeking knowledge networks, active sense-making, and sharing publicly, are practices that need to be widespread. Our collective future depends on 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."

Excellent overview from intelligent organization to PKM to make it hum... "The intelligent enterprise [l'entreprise intelligente] has to be founded first and foremost on intelligent communication, which in the network era is much more than just passing information. It is actively engaging in conversations to continuously make sense of the changing environment."

"As a global leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, Domino's Pizza has a concentration of jobs requiring a broad base of connections to people and information. The people in these jobs probably used traditional learning to help them attain key roles in supply chain, operations, marketing, or information services. However, an overlooked key to their success, and their future growth, is a type of learning in which they may not have even known they were engaged."

Current and concise presentation of PKM for professional development

"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."

"Abstract Everyone desires a secure life. Yet the security of more and more regions is undermined by unreliable and unequal availability of basics such as energy, water, food, natural resources, funds, co-operation, trust and hope for the future. Shocks such as the credit crunch, infectious diseases, climate instability and ecological collapses are converging towards a 'planet crunch' where security would become a fond memory. Traditional policy-making, that manages problems separately and incrementally, offers only the illusion of protection against impending unaffordable and irreversible shocks affecting all people. "

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.

"Critical Thinking" may sound like an obnoxious buzzword from liberal arts schools, but it's actually a useful skill. Critical thinking just means absorbing important information and using that to form a decision or opinion of your own-rather than just spouting off what you hear others say. This doesn't always come naturally to us, but luckily, it's something you can train yourself to do better.P

Change is hard, especially in a large organization. Numerous studies have shown that employees tend instinctively to oppose change initiatives because they disrupt established power structures and ways of getting things done. However, some leaders do succeed-often spectacularly-at transforming their workplaces. What makes them able to exert this sort of influence when the vast majority can't? So many organizations are contemplating turnarounds, restructurings, and strategic shifts these days that it's essential to understand what successful change agents do differently. We set out to gain that insight by focusing on organizations in which size, complexity, and tradition make it exceptionally difficult to achieve reform.

"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"

The foundation for this "other mechanism" is the wirearchy framework: 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." But what is the mechanism and why is it important to have an environment where everyone can be a leader? After all, most leaders are quite comfortable where they are. They worked hard to get there, didn't they?

Toyota worries that automation means it has too many average workers and not enough craftsmen and masters. But if you increase Talent and decrease Labour, what else needs to change? Pretty well the entire management/leadership system and particularly 'human resource' management.

"We believe technology is changing culture everywhere in the world, leading to the emergence of a new model of leadership. Employees are now more confident, more mobile, more demanding, more idealistic in some cases, and less willing to be company people. Employees, more than ever, are individualists"
