Editor's Notes
- I’m Pete Gillis, I work at C4 and I’m the Community Manager for the Information Technology Management Community of Interest. My brief today is designed to be more of a thought provoker than an information passing session. I know many of you know about the community, so I’m going to focus on the community as a concept, rather than an entity.
- However, before we can talk philosophically, we need to review the list of civilian occupational series that make up the ITM COI. We recently added the two series that deal with archives, after arguing their career development needs were very closely linked to the librarians.Any questions on this?
- So…a community. You interact within a community in different ways. Think of your neighborhood. Some people you have cookouts with, some people you simply wave at. Some people you actually go out of your way to avoid. Regardless, these are levels of interaction based on a shared foundation.
- Communities aren’t formed by technology. Technology is only the platform upon which communities can flourish. Technology is an enabler that makes interaction and communication easier and faster.
- THIS is what a community is. It’s people working together and interacting. It’s about building relationships and supporting other community members. It’s about sharing what you know with others…and being an active learner. But most importantly….
- It’s about communication…in a variety of ways and environments with an eye toward improving both our individual level of professionalization and the collective level of the community. It’s about demonstrating that the Marine Corps is a great place to work because you are challenged…but supported.
- Ok…I just made this up. But being a part of a community brings with it some opportunities…That is, the opportunity to share what you know with others, and to learn from others when they share what they know.
- What is the value of a community such as ours? Our collective knowledge vastly exceeds the knowledge of any one employee. Problems that you struggle with are pieces of cake for others. You know things that could potentially avoid hours of hand-wringing on the part of others. Crowd-educating, like crowdsourcing, builds on the expertise of the whole and raises the professionalization level of the entire workforce.
- My two support contractors and I support the community and the community leader in a variety of ways, but our primary mission is to make communication easier. These are the four primary ways we try and help people find information they need or share knowledge they have.
- In FY12 we launched the community’s Training and Professional Development Program. This program is funded by dollars we receive from Manpower and we in turn offer training and professional development opportunities to community members, funding their travel and in some cases, registration fees. We tried to build a list of opportunities that would be attractive to as wide an audience as possible. In FY12 we had 57 applicants for 16 slots. Critical to this it the feedback mechanism. We want to find out whether what we spent our money on was valuable to you. If it wasn’t, we want to know why and possibly who it might benefit. Also, we want you to give feedback to your command. Give a brief or do a brown-bag and share your experience.
- You support the community by participating. Making contacts with other community members, asking questions in forums where other people with similar questions can learn, and engaging in persistent professional development efforts.
- …And you should share. Everyone has expertise. Some of it is in your brain, some in your computer, some in your desk. Our crowd-educating effort can only be successful if we share what we know. Share your training and professional development experiences. If you took a class and it didn’t meet your expectations, let someone know or post that info in a place others can benefit.
- Here is my contact information and pending any questions, that concludes my brief.
