    Several people have asked for some clarification on my definition of Concept Work and Concept Workers .

  • The Personalization of Knowledge Work in the Interconnected Era
    It reminded me of the many times I have written about the personalization of knowledge work , or the mass customization of knowledge work. It should also be a brief bit of additional inspiration for my friends at PersonAll , an innovative French startup which I believe stands a good chance of making a splash in the collaboration arena. What Peter does not explore here, though I am sure The brief post set out below ( The Personal Enterprise ) comes from Peter Kim, Managing Director of the Dachis Group.  It The personalization of the enterprise is already

  • Using SharePoint
    Using SharePoint before, during and after courses This typically takes the form of sharing best practices, code examples, templates, links; posting announcements; having discussions; showing calendar items; supporting student profiles; supporting student project work; sharing notes, documents; providing course content. The reality is that what we did on the Work Literacy course or what I did for my Collaborative Learning Course could easily be supported by the various types of web parts within SharePoint. I've been having fabulous conversations about using SharePoint.

But I'm worried, because while I just got through writing about my concern in Using SharePoint that learning organizations seemed to be making the same mistake of Not Preparing Workers for Web 2.0 . Setting up a SharePoint for a community or work team is very different from teaching them about Personal Learning .

  • Share Best Practices - Patterns
    Interesting post by Jane Bozarth - The Myth of "Best Practices" . A "best practice" is best only in the precise, specific context in which it exists. … What works in my marriage won't necessarily work in -- and may even damage -- yours. Even if moved from one situation to another very close one, the odds of transfer being made with practice intact is nil.

  • Learning for the 21st Century
    Learning is the process of figuring out how the world works. It’s a dog’s breakfast of acquiring skills, information, knowledge, savoir faire, and more. THE CHANGING NATURE OF WORK In the days of textile factories in Manchester, railroads criss-crossing continents, and assembly lines mass- producing automobiles, most work was physical. Unprecedented changes in the role of the worker, the nature of business, the pace of innovation, the importance of intangibles, the explosion of information, and the shift from a manufacturing to a service economy have rendered traditional corporate learning obsolete.
