Personal Learning Network (PLN) – what does that mean to you? At the Learning Solutions conference (#LSCon) I discussed and explored this concept with attendees and took away a couple of “aha’s”. First, social learning is really just social media (SoMe) and not about just learning, learning is a byproduct of the process used in … Continue reading
Tools, technology, technique… yes and trust. As we work in a mobile, and ever increasing, global world the challenge I face is understanding who I am working with. There is a name on an org chart however, that does not a relationship make. Harold Jarche recently stated the “bigger change to manage is getting people … Continue reading
Strategy is more than a formal plan for me; it manifests itself as a consistency in behavior. Being strategic helps me look for patterns to guide my decisions, both personally and in work. Here is where we should be tapping into social tools by tracking and trending topics and conversations, in this way strategic learning … Continue reading
Have you heard about the flipped classroom model? The opportunity to create a class that is highly interactive and engaged while in a physical setting is one of my “ah-ha” moments, why would we not change our design?

Questions were asked and the team began to generate … Continue reading
I just finished reading Why I Hire People Who Fail and am reflecting on my own past learning moments. I had a manager at IBM who I was trying to convince that a project I was working on was destined to fail and his words are still with me, “yes it is not needed but … Continue reading
Technology is catching up to the techniques we espouse focusing on personalized learning that engages the person, encourages active practice on the job, and the support of the supervisor. I am in the midst of identifying a model for leaders separated by time and distance from their peers. This model utilizes the strengths of synchronous … Continue reading
I am watching 10 yro’s with new iTouches and must admit that this beats being able to thread a 16mm Graflex (another day’s story) especially as I observed a clothing discussion that turned to checking the weather to make the best choice! I admit, I was a tad resistant until I read of the speech … Continue reading
“We need an app for that” is beginning to replace “they need to be trained” as the model of solutions heard in boardrooms and meetings it seems to me. An unscientific and informal poll of colleagues finds many being pushed or rushing into solutions to reach the masses and doing so without any kind of … Continue reading
