There’s a lot of conversation lately about working out loud, particularly the benefits it brings to the individual worker. But selling the idea of sharing to organization leaders can be another matter. Narrating work offers myriad benefits to organizations, from better locating talent and finding tacit knowledge to increasing efficiencies to improving communication. But organizations married to more traditional knowledge management processes may have trouble seeing past those.

As business pressures only increase, organizations need to help develop workers’ human capabilities—curiosity, imagination, creativity, empathy, and courage—and encourage their application across all levels and departments.
Andrew Gerkens's insight:
An exploration of the human capabilities (curiosity, empathy, imagination, creativity, courage) that are needed more than ever, if organisations are to navigate uncertainty and complexity.
Includes examples of how behaviours can be encouraged and reinforces the leader's role in modeling and removing barriers to developing/applying behaviours.
'Capabilities can drive business performance and help them keep finding and focusing on the opportunities embedded in weathering the present. Individuals need capabilities more than ever, too. By tapping into their capabilities, workers can better handle the unexpected requirements, new tools, and unique delivery conditions hitting them every day. More broadly, capabilities help workers actually be empowered, more able to notice and understand change, and more confident about creating new approaches and tools when old ones are no longer relevant'.

People, technology and the future of work
Andrew Gerkens's insight:
'Capita has collaborated with Professor Lynda Gratton, Hotspots Movement and BritainThinks, to look at how the world of work is changing.
Our report calls for honest dialogue and coordinated action by businesses and policy makers to support employees in the transition to a more automated world. Through engaging directly with people across the UK, whose jobs have already changed due to automation – from factory and call centre operatives, to logistics and public service administrators – this report explores the rapidly changing relationships between business and employees, people and technology.
The resulting ‘framework for responsible automation’ presents five guiding principles to encourage the implementation of new workplace technologies in a way that will give automation the best chance possible to deliver on its potential in a way that benefits everyone'.

We're taught single loop learning from the time we are in grade school, but there's a better way. Double loop learning is the quickest and most efficient way to learn anything that you want to "stick."
Andrew Gerkens's insight:
Many of us are so focused on solving problems as they arise that we don’t take the time to reflect on them after we’ve dealt with them, and this omission dramatically limits our ability to learn from the experiences.
Double loop learning is the key to turning experience into improvements, information into action, and conversations into progress. Key questions:

“The central change with Enterprise 2.0 and ideas of managing knowledge [is] not managing knowledge anymore — get out of the way, let people do what they want to do, and harvest the stuff that emerges from it because good stuff will emerge. So, it’s been a fairly deep shift in thinking about how to capture and organize and manage knowledge in an organization.” —Andy McAfee

Based on years of research from preeminent scientific refereed journals on learning, memory, and instruction---and wisdom from the practical crucible of real workplace learning situations---the model helps guide instructional design and work-learning design and evaluation, while simultaneously being a great starting point for conversations with our organizational stakeholders who need to know how learning can more fully support organizational performance.
