Answers are hit or miss. ■ I don’t know how to use it. ■ It’s risky to let anyone post anything. ■ This is all too expensive. ■ This doesn’t create lasting change. ■ It’s not natural. ■ In person is always best. ■ People will say inappropriate things. ■ This can’t be governed. ■ People will post incorrect information. ■ No one will be interested. ■ Our people need training, not socializing. ■ People aren’t paying attention. ■ These systems compromise classiﬁed information. ■ Our information is unique. There’s no way to share that. ■ Finished content is more valuable to works in progress. ■ Our management team will never sign off on this. ■ People will waste precious time. ■ Employees will give away company secrets. ■ People will post inappropriate videos. ■ The value of media sharing can’t be measured. ■ Video isn’t for serious businesses. ■ Videos are for fun, not real knowledge transfer. ■ (Re: Twitter) I have too much to say. ■ I don’t have time.

47. Access to information and people is intoxicating. Creating an online portrait of who we are or who we want others to see is equality alluring. But without direction, governance, and discipline, we are at risk of giving ourselves to the very networks we value rather than managing the platforms to our advantage. Our participation must be inspired by purpose and parameters. No, we are not obligated to connect with everyone who connects with us. We are obligated to maintain balance in who we are, what we value, and equally the value we invest in the communities in which we participate. As Clay Shirky once observed, “There’s no such thing as information overload — only filter failure.” My take? “Information overload is a symptom of our desire to not focus on what’s important.” It’s a choice. Perhaps said another way, information overload is a symptom of our inability to focus on what’s truly important or relevant to who we are as individuals, professionals, and as human beings. But then again, maybe that’s the problem. The reality is that we are learning how to use these networks and what to expect in return. We’re learning what’s possible. However, we learn as we go. We discover where the proverbial line is only after we’ve crossed or are witnesses to those who do. Our teachers, parents, role models and peers, they to coming to grips with the evolution of social media and digital culture as it affects online and offline behavior along with us. Therefore, this is a time when we are all students. But at some point, we must also become teachers

50. Learning is social. So while people do indeed learn alone, even when they are not stranded on desert islands or in small cafes, they are nonetheless always enmeshed in society, which saturates our environment, however much we might wish to escape it at times.

51. The importance of people as creators and carriers of knowledge is forcing organizations to realize that knowledge lies less in its databases than in its people. Learning is not simply a matter of acquiring information; it requires developing the disposition, demeanor, and outlook of the practitioners. Learning is usually treated as a supply-side matter, thought to follow teaching, training, or information delivery. But learning is much more demand driven. People learn in response to need.

54. Collaborative Leadership

55. Collaborative Values Collaborative Organizations offer a community of sympathetic individuals a unique model to realize the five categories of distinctively human potential. Empathy: an emotional understanding of the sentiments, dreams, desires, and ambitions of their employees and customers. Culture: communities are based on trust and like-mindedness, that is, familiar mores, traditions, and customs as well as shared values. Morality: no longer tolerate a gap between idealism and pragmatism, between principles and practical reasons Creativity: perpetual beta, space for solitude and time for the individual to be alone with their thoughts -- time and space to be themselves Aspiration: the quest to work toward a unique mission, whether it is individual advancement, spiritual enlightenment, or social progress. The prerequisite of aspiration is imagination, and its immediate product is hope.

104. DIY Learning Tools Jane Hart

105. Using these tools: • to solve learning/performance problems quickly and easily (ain't no one checking for the LMS or looking for their CLO's take on the problem); they use Wikihow, YouTube, Google. • to keep up to date with their industry and profession (blogs, podcasts - they may look for it, but they also use RSS to make stuff come to them) • to build a Personal Learning Network (Google+, Facebook, etc, to brainstorm, ask questions, learn without knowing it - serendipitous learning!) • to keep up to date w/what is happening inside their orgs (Chatter, Yammer, Dropbox, etc) • to share what they know and learn with their colleagues (creating content - Jing, screenr, Prezi, YouTube, etc) • to reflect on what they are doing and learning - and to share their thoughts and experiences (see the ITA groups individual blogs) Jane Hart

106. 1. Take responsibility and control Take responsibility for their own learning personal/professional development in the organisation 2. Reflect and review Continuously review their strategies in the light of a changing world – as Harold says “life is in perpetual beta“. 3. Seek-Sense-Share Use Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) techniques as a continuous process of seeking, sense-making and sharing 4. Contribute and share Become a valued contributing node in the networks to which they belong 5. Get organized Use a variety of personal and organisational tools including social media tools and networks to organise and manage their own personal learning – but this certainly doesn’t mean being forced to record everything in an organizational LMS or learning platform 6. Get things done Performance is key; it’s not about the learning per se but what they can do as a result of all their learning activities. Success of learning is therefore measured in terms of their new or improved performance 7. Narrate and converse Narrating their learning is an integral part of narrating their work – i e. regularly recording activity, achievements and reflections (in a personal blog or in an activity stream) in the workflow for others to read and learn from.

107. LQ personal Learning is everywhere in the connected workplace. Networked professionals need more than advice (training); they need ongoing, real-time, constantly-changing, collaborative, support. However, many of us have relegated our own learning to the specialists over the years – teachers, instructors, professors. We’re not used to handling all of this learning on our own. But if we want to thrive in complexity and if we want our work teams to be effective, we have to integrate our learning into the workﬂow. PKM is the foundation of connected work. It’s up to each of us to develop, and continuously revise, our sense-making frameworks as we work inside and outside the increasingly permeable walls of our organizations. Unlimited information, distributed work, self-publishing, and ridiculously easy group-forming all point in one direction – the organization will no longer address all your learning needs in the network era. Additional skills are needed to help groups and teams learn as they work.Narration is a base skill for the networked workplace. Other skills include network weaving, curation, and network analysis. We also have workshops on how to use social media for professional development, as well as setting up and sustaining an online community. These workshops are not just for ‘learning professionals’ but for any role; from sales to marketing to production, and especially for management. More workshops are in development and we are always interested in getting suggestions. Custom workshops and skills coaching can also be arranged. To improve our own and our organization’s learning quotient, we need to look at ways to be more self-directed, social, and agile learners. Life in perpetual Beta requires a high LQ.

122. the five pillars of social intranets: • Information. To be social, an intranet must allow information to easily flow vertically and horizontally, and allow employees to express themselves in various ways (articles, status updates, comments, content sharing…). • Knowledge. Content repositories are way too statics, they must evolve to a more democratic and flexible way to capitalize on knowledge (enterprise wikis) and to spread it (social learning). • Communities. I assume you are already convinced of the importance of enterprise social networks. But simply providing a ESN to your employees will not allow communities to emerge, you will have to enable them through stimulation and moderations. • Collaboration. I also assume you are aware of the benefits of online collaborative workspaces, but one can do much more with socialized project management solutions, ideagoras or social serious games. • Business processes and data. Last but not least, software allowing employees to produce, collect, structure, analyze and publish data is key to wider adoption. You will easily find pockets of users willing to participate in “social experiments”, but to rally EVERY employee, you will have to include business applications and processes in your internal social platform. http://www.forbes.com/sites/fredcavazza/2011/11/30/from-social-intranets-to-collaboration-ecosystems/

While designing their own workspace Stanford University’s Design School tested the best practices accumulated over the last few decades and put the best techniques into a cookbook for others to use. Sit in circles and gather around square tables. The symmetry implies that all positions are equal. If a room naturally has a "place of honor" (such as the head of a table), let a lower-status individual sit there.

155. Performance Support & Learning: Separated at Birth?

156. Key ideas about learning have emerged from research in the cognitive sciences. People learn by: • constructing their own understanding based on their prior knowledge, experiences, skills, attitudes, and beliefs. • following a learning cycle of exploration, concept formation, and application. • connecting and visualizing concepts and multiple representations. • discussing and interacting with others. • reflecting on progress and assessing performance. Howard Rheingold

157. Do we need customer-driven learning? Overall, how was your experience with Enterprise? Apple has calculated that every hour of time spent calling detractors results in an incremental $1000 in revenue.

158. CREDO • We are open and transparent. • We narrate our work. Need to share. • Continuous learning, not events. • We value conversation as a learning vehicle. • We are a vanguard of change within the Company. • We drink our own champagne (or mimosas). • Business success is our bottom line. • Learning is work; work is learning. • We are not a training organization. • We value time for self-development and reﬂection. • We recognize that reﬂection is a key to learning. • We establish business metrics for every engagement and report back publicly on outcomes.

167. During a presentation, it’s like note taking on steroids. A key point captured can take on a life of its own. A notebook is closed channeled, twitter is open channeled. Content is king. You become privy to the intellectual capital of your network. Learning extends beyond the presenter. Distance becomes a myth. The classroom extends beyond the four walls. Feedback is instant. Inhibition is often less present in the virtual world versus the real world Engagement is standard. The learner is engaged the entire presentation (and even after) due to the abundance of information. Learners become more connected to the community in the room and out. The presenter receives real-time level one and two evaluations. The learner will exist simultaneously in both the synchronous and asynchronous learning environment. As necessary, they’ll be engaged by both the presenter and a catalogue of other resources provided by their network. Collaboration is as present as oxygen. Learners are joining together to enhance their learning experience as a community. Learners and presenters experience, “Presentation Ping”. An idea is presented live, spreads via the backchannel and returns back to the classroom changed into a bigger or more complete idea. Control is not conducive to learning. In the modern classroom, Learners are released from Presenter ego. When the presenter’s ego is active, the learner can explore a more relevant use of their time. Informal becomes a partner of formal learning

168. How I use Twitter While I am high volume twitter publisher, I try to add value, here’s how: 1) As a ‘shared feed’ reader. I’ll post up links of what I’m reading that I find is interesting in near real time, and give some commentary. I try to add value here, rather than adding to noise. So use me as a news filter. 2) As a chat room. We collectively work out problems, issues, and I gain insight to other people’s viewpoints. Often when conversations are just between a few folks, I shift to direct messages or email –sparing my community from hearing my minutia. 3) Event capture: Lately, when I attend an event (like Mark Cuban’s presentation at BlogWorldExpo, or Teresa’s webinar on Facebook yesterday) I’ll fire off the top nuggets I learn. 4) Listening tool: It’s interesting to find out what others are sharing and talking about, from very personal to big concepts. I frequently use the search tools around different topics to keep on top of what’s happening. 5) Traffic driving tool: I use it to direct people to this blog, sometimes (I’ll admit) a bit too enthusiastically. Google Analytics indicates this is one of the largest referrers of folks to my blog. 6) For work: When I’m conducting interviews or briefings that aren’t confidential, I’ll state who I’m speaking to and what I find interesting, if you listen closely, you’ll hear me tweet about other interesting findings from my job as a social media analyst. Also, I will announce new research, request interviews, and promote workshops, conferences and other services.

Yes, it should focus on specific business problems too. But a linear project it really isn’t. 1. Transactional engagement is just as important as open-ended engagement. Some social business efforts deliberately encourage only general purpose collaboration, instead of focusing on specific aspects of how the business work and improving that with social. This would be missing a major part of the value. 2. The adoption process is not sequential, nor will it look much like anything you’ve done until now. Tight feedback loops, deliberately cultivating unexpected value creation, and other means of becoming true digital businesses is key to unlocking both the short and long term value. 3. Feedback loops powered by measurement and optimization = success. Social analytics and social business intelligence will let us close the feedback loop and at last gives us a potent tool to tune and optimize our social business solutions. Big data tools in particular to support this lifecycle should be a major focus. 4. Put social into the flow of work, don’t overly compartmentalize or silo it. One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned the last couple of years is connect our systems of record with systems of engagement or significant value won’t be realized. 5. Aim social squarely at existing business problems. If your social business effort isn’t directed at your organization’s top problems, then maybe it’s not a surprise it isn’t perceived as delivering major value. 6. You mostly won’t get credit for emergent outcomes, don’t even try. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do as much as reasonably possible to encourage them. 7. Whatever you do, baseline before and after. This alone will typically validate your effort. Many practitioners don’t do nearly enough to measure their social business efforts nor do they baseline the performance of the business show they can demonstrate results. A smaller group of practitioners spends too much time trying to measure everything. All you generally need to do is measure direct outcomes, that’s usually enough to justify the whole social business effort. Dion Hinchcliffe

175. Rules for Successfully Scaling Startups Robert Scoble’s advice to startups applies to scaling enterprise learning: Have a story. Have everyone on board with that story. If anyone goes off of that story, make sure they get on board immediately or ﬁre them. Make sure people are judged by the revenues they bring in. Those that bring in revenues should get to run the place. People who don't bring in revenues should get fewer and fewer responsibilities, not more and more. Work ONLY for a leader who will make the tough decisions. Build a place where excellence is expected, allowed, and is enabled. Fire idiots quickly. If your engineering team can't give a media team good measurements, the entire company is in trouble. Only things that are measured ever get improved. When your stars aren't listened to the company is in trouble. Getting rid of the CEO, even if it's all his fault, won't help unless you replace him/her with someone who is visionary and who can ﬁx the other problems. DRAFT
