Documentation Management ( 2003)
Knowledge Management
Class-room or f2f training
Blended Learning = eLearning
Training or HR Departments
Training as "Event" or "Intervention"
6.
7. ... to learning (pull)
•

•
•
•
Just-in-time learning
Byte-sized learning chunks
Blended = Program of Learning (f2f, chat, online
discussion, co-creation)
L& D or Learning Departments
Continuous Learning as Skill
Personal Learning Networks ... social learning, peer
content and communities, finding over remembering
8. Challenges:
•
New workers (graduates) and matriculants
•
Study to Pass, rather than Learning to Learn
•
Management view of Training vs Learning
•
Teams haven’t known anything else
9. Prevailing Culture
- Linear hierarchies
- Top-down decision-making
- Accepting a given system, not creating it
10.
11. Culture is Everything (nom nom)
Organizations (Changing)
Society/Economy (Changing a Lot)
Education (Not Changing Enough)
12. The Long Game
Disrupting and Reinventing
Education to Create a
Foundation for
Life-long Learning and
Continuous Improvement
(Sir Ken Robinson)
14. Just as waterfall managers find it
impossible to control projects, teachers
find it impossible to control kids.
Scrum is designed to solve this
problem.

23. PDCA for Individuals
"seeing the system" - lack of contextual awareness,
lack of ability to change things, waiting for somebody to
tell me the answer ~ Bob Marshall

observing - seeing the work honestly
questioning - interrogating the work
applying - courage to try something new
evaluate - interpret and adjust
