Lasagna and chips: Develop creativity and empathy through opposing perspectivesLasagna and chips: Develop creativity and empathy through opposing perspectives
I have been rethinking my focus. I started working within the framework of knowledge management and communities of practice. But knowledge management in the Netherlands is still associated with databasebuilders. And communities are hijacked by the marketeers for client communities... The core of my work is about 'the learning professional' / the innovative professional / the creative professional.

Facebook has launched a new "personal newspaper"-style news feed, while both Digg and Klout are using their internal ranking systems to try and create topic pages. But will any of these solve the growing problem of information overload, or will they just add to the noise?

One of the things we talk about extensively in Social Business is we are asking everyone to contribute and collaborate. This will ultimately generate a lot of content. We seem to think since the amount of content is increasing that we are going to be exposed to Information Overload.

Before smartphones and ubiquitous connectivity oozed into the fabric of daily life, there was a time when the end of the work day was not only defined but finite.

Collective Conciousness and how the Internet is changing the worldCollective Conciousness and how the Internet is changing the world
There can be no doubt that we are now at a point of being inexplicitly dependant on the Internet. The more I think about the evolution of the internet the more I am convinced about the emergence of a new collective conciousness which has formed an almost symbiotic relationship between man and machine through which we are now globally connected.

Time was, we would get recommendations from "trusted" institutions. You know the names: Consumer Reports for products, Lonely Planet for travel, KCRW for music, the New York Times for all the news that's fit to print, the list goes on. Their word was sacred, and we the masses were grateful for their filtering, their curation.

Resetting learning and workResetting learning and work
A large portion of the workforce face significant barriers to being autonomous learners on the job. From early on we are told to look to authority and direction in learning and work. The idea that there is a right answer, or an expert with the right answer, begins in our schools.
The best use of social media is learningThe best use of social media is learning
People new to social media, and Twitter in particular, have trouble conceptualizing what it is and how to best use it. I would say the following quote from Francine Hardaway, is true for individuals, organizations, or businesses. In how small business can best leverage social media, she said: "The best use of social media for business isn't really marketing, it's learning.

Learning Is the New Work - Chief Learning Officer, Solutions for Enterprise ProductivityLearning Is the New Work - Chief Learning Officer, Solutions for Enterprise Productivity
Educating should be done on the job, not in the classroom. Innovation requires importing into the workplace patterns of thought from foreign sources that are often detached from learning regimes. Work used to be simple - tasks were mechanical and things rarely changed, so initial lessons lasted a lifetime.

Nuts and Bolts: “Let The Learners Hold The Spoon” by Jane Bozarth : Learning Solutions MagazineNuts and Bolts: “Let The Learners Hold The Spoon” by Jane Bozarth : Learning Solutions Magazine
"Telling ain't teaching." In designing eLearning it is awfully easy to fall into the "content loading" trap, assuming that reading slides means learners will magically absorb new learning. A common litany in learning and development is the claim that learners want to be spoon-fed, when, in fact, it is often the trainers and instructional designers who won't let them hold the spoon.

Learning Formally or Informally...? Why not Both!Learning Formally or Informally...? Why not Both!
The real genius of organizations is the informal, impromptu, often inspired ways that real people solve real problems in ways that formal processes can’t anticipate. When you’re competing on knowledge, the name of the game is improvisation, not rote standardization."

What constitutes a Social Learning Culture?What constitutes a Social Learning Culture?
I've often thought of social learning as a very culture dependent phenomenon. A few weeks back I read an interesting article by Thierry de Baillon, his conclusion being - we don't need more social platforms, we need more human companies. A lot of social software marketing seems to suggest that the tools will change the world. Unfortunately, as we've seen on several occasions, usable tools have nothing to do with adoption. On the other hand, I also see quite an amazing culture atThoughtWorks....

Employee access to social mediaEmployee access to social media
As the owner of the Stop Blocking site (www.stopblocking.org), I advocate for open employee access to social media. Yet I am a business advocate. The organization, when setting good policies and processes, benefits when employees can tap into their social graphs. This Storify story will include items related to the arguments against blocking as well as the benefits organizations can realize.

Performance.Learning.Productivity Blog: When Learning is the Work: Approaches for supporting learning in the workplacePerformance.Learning.Productivity Blog: When Learning is the Work: Approaches for supporting learning in the workplace
Two weeks ago I ran a webinar under this title for Citrix. At the start I posed the question “when you think about one great learning experience you’ve had, can you remember where it occurred? Was it in a classroom or workshop, or did it occur while you were completing the task?” I’ve asked this question, or variations of it, many times over the past few years. The response from this group
