Six ways to engage in a 2.0 World

Be Yourself We have been trained throughout our business careers to suppress our individual voice and to sound like a 'professional', that is, to sound like everyone else. This professional voice is distinctive. And weird. Taken out of context, it is as mannered as the ritualistic dialogue of the 17th-century French court. David Weinberger

Work Transparently Work so everyone can see what you are doing Before IT it was impossible for to share work in progress Today it is easy Working transparently means we get early feedback and can adapt more quickly A fundamental part of natural knowledge sharing

Work so everyone can see what you are doing

Before IT it was impossible for to share work in progress

Today it is easy

Working transparently means we get early feedback and can adapt more quickly

A fundamental part of natural knowledge sharing

Work Openly We need to let others know what we are doing (transparency) and take feedback (openness) Be open to people; their feedback and ideas Being open is a prerequisite for social learning

We need to let others know what we are doing (transparency) and take feedback (openness)

Be open to people; their feedback and ideas

Being open is a prerequisite for social learning

Have learning conversations The kind of conversation I’m interested in is one in which you start with a willingness to emerge a slightly different person. Theodore Zeldin, Historian

Work with People An innovative, healthy organization requires that we work with people rather than do things to them . Alfie Kohn How do we better work together? How do we make them share?
