A report shows that the more successful a company is, the more likely it is to have invested in social media. (As tweeted by @marciamarcia, 86% of frequent social media users have been recently promoted.) 
"Tear down those silos and build a team focused on collaborative efforts and you will see a dramatic turnaround in your organization. Simply put, it’s called working together." 
Six drivers—big, disruptive shifts that are likely to reshape the landscape for organizations and workers. Although each driver is in itself important when thinking about the future, it is the confluence of several drivers working together that produces true disruptions. 
"So just as some IT departments have realised the futility of banning personal devices in the workplace and are now beginning to adopt BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategies, L&D departments might also want to adopt a BYOL (Bring Your Own Learning) strategy and embrace all the learning that is taking place outside of training." ~Jane Hart 
Jane Hart was asked to explain what “social learning” actually is in an organizational context. Rather than provide a bland definition, she provides some quotes from some key resources that will give a flavour of what it is all about. 
L'entreprise de demain sera connecté et le collaborateur également.
Considérer l’outil supportant ces dynamiques comme une bulle isolée du reste de l’intranet est déjà un début d’attitude suicidaire... 
The debate over whether the purpose of college is to train students for jobs or to provide them with a broad education erupted again in the comments section of a Chronicle article last week. Rather than rehash that argument in this blog, I want to touch on the main thrust of last week’s piece: what employers think of today’s college graduates. OK .. so it looks like the Web, hyperlinks and ’social’ platforms for interaction are here to stay (unless electricity grids fail or corporations and governments completely take over the Web). 
One of the biggest values in Enterprise Social Networking is opening up conversations through transparency and the serendipity that is discovered by being aware of these conversations even if they are not a core focus. Let’s start at the core of Google+; the circle. 
At DevLearn, presentations (Slideshare included) from:
Charles Dennings - Do you feel the need to manage learning?

"Use of social media (externally) for the (co)-creation and sharing of CONTENT/information and collaboration, as well as the building of trusted networks of friends and colleagues for PEOPLE/interaction is now impacting the way we both work and learn within organisations, and means that existing internal systems (intranet, LMS and email) are being surpassed by new social and collaboration tools with more appropriate functionality for today’s world. As a consequence of this we are also seeing the convergence of working and learning." ~Jane Hart 
Here are 5 more resources found this week by Jane Hart that look at different social approaches to working and learning. |
La construction de l'entreprise 2.0 se fait selon quatre modalités différentes orientées DG, DSI, métier ou utilisateur final. Chaque fois, le choix de l'outil répond à des exigences et des visions différentes. 
Le monde du travail (incluant celui de l’éducation) n’échappe pas aux nouvelles réalités du 21e siècle... 
The Social Era unlocks new doors of both who can contribute and what can be created, and thus changes the very source of power itself.
Crowdsourcing, SaaS models, open source, social networks, virtual workforces and other new meshy processes, tools, and business models have enabled new ways to create value. 
Effectively manage a project of any size with these online tools... 
For a day and a half in January 2012, twenty-one thought leaders from four continents gathered in a ski resort at Stoos in Switzerland to discuss what could be done to accelerate the transformation of organizations and their management. The idea was to figure out how organizations could become more profitable for the organizations and their shareholders, as well as being better for those doing the work and better for those for whom the work is being done. The tipping point isn’t about replacing capitalism with socialism: it’s about reinventing organizations so that they become more productive for shareholders, more inspiring for workers and more delightful for customers. 
Le projet Atlantique Branché est une initiative de l'Université Sainte-Anne financée majoritairement par l'Agence de promotion économique du Canada atlantique et mise en oeuvre par les quatre RDÉE de l'Atlantique sous la direction de RDÉE Î.-P.-É. Le projet, dont la mission est d'améliorer la compétitivité et d'enrichir les entreprises francophones de l'atlantique en économie du savoir, est composé de trois volets : un sondage, le forum, et la boîte à outils.
Jane Hart: "It seems to me we often waste the opportunity of bringing people together by lecturing/presenting at them, rather than using the time more for discussion and collaboration or even experimentation and problem solving. As it is, when I am participating in webinars myself, I often find most of the interesting stuff happens in the conversations taking place in the chat! And I’ve not yet participated in any webinar that has made use of breakout sessions for collaborative activities." 
Cisco surveyed 2,800 college students and recently employed graduates and discovered that two thirds will actively enquire about a firm’s social media policies during a job interview, with some 56% refusing to work at a company that bans social media.
When you consider that a third of the students polled “consider the Internet to be as important as air, water, food, and shelter”, this isn’t all that surprising, especially as the internet for many young people nowadays is Facebook and Twitter. 
As we work in a time of rapid change, with students who are digital natives, from within a dramatically new information landscape, the best description of the 21st Century teacher is Master Learner. 
2.0 technologies are enabling technologies that connect us with each other, facilitating communication and collaboration.
To improve, we must know our biggest failings. In the training and development field, our five biggest failures are as follows: - We forget to minimize forgetting and improve remembering. - We don’t provide training follow-through. 
There was a time when we could see our careers as a sort of "finished product." We could go into maintenance mode, resting on our laurels. At a minimum, we could be reasonably secure that if we kept doing what our companies asked us to do, we could count on some level of job security. Those days are gone. |
