Agenda
Internet Time Alliance helps businesses work smarter.
We make things happen better and faster by strengthening the bond between workers and their firm’s strategic direction.
We are six can-do practitioners with more than a century of experience managing projects, designing interventions, improving service, increasing sales, and boosting profits.
We’ve probably seen, explored, and used any approach to organizational and individual development you’ve ever been exposed to. We are web-savvy. We know what works and what doesn’t.

Most important meme of the day is Change
phase change, not downturn
Plants where people work used to look like this
Now we work amid networks. As in nature, everything is connected to everything else.
The predictable “clockwork universe” is no more. We inhabit a complex world of perpetual surprise.
Loners are powerless. We learn with one another. Teams work; no hermits allowed.
Once had plenty of time, new computer model every six or seven years

Change in the nature of work results
I used to advise people to take the leap into the new way of work right away. Now I suggest they sell their stakeholders on the idea first.
A a verbatim transcript of "Filthy Words" (the George Carlin monologue at issue in the Supreme Court case of FCC v. Pacifica Foundation) prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: http://bit.ly/bwDpub
Because eLearning’s reputation was tarnished by idiots who thought computers alone could teach...
Because executives misinterpret “informal” to mean haphazard, loosey-goosey, inefficient...
Because when an executive hears the word learning, the first thing that comes to mind is school, and we know that didn’t work very well.
...and use examples instead of labels.
All learning is both formal and informal.
Doing = more important than learning. Pull>push
Typical differences
Most purloined graphic in learning. (It started here.) 80% of the way we learn our work is informal; corporations invest primarily in formal.
...practitioners bring in the money but the training function largely ignores them.
Everyone in your business ecosystem needs opportunities to learn
What to encourage
Workscape = work environment where learning takes place.
No more classes, no more books. Rather, learning in the course of doing. Experientia docet.
What’s learned vanishes rapidly.
Supplementing the formal components with informal reinforcement gets you a lot bigger bang for your buck.
What to do if you want people to comply, rather than just pass tests.
