I periodically scan the environment for new developments in informal learning. The folks at Docebo have a new white paper out, produced in partnership with the Aberdeen Group. It’s an interesting look at the learning landscape, modifying the 70:20:10 model in a way that I think is very promising. They identify 40% of job learning
In a recent blog post, Rachael Addicott, Senior Research Fellow for the King’s Fund, an independent charity working to improve health and health care in England, reviewed a survey of primary care providers performed by the Commonwealth Fund and the Kaiser Family Foundation in the first quarter of 2015. According to the survey, Slightly more
My pal Mike Sellers just posted a very nice summary of the findings of the Games Outcomes Project on his blog. The project details the results of a survey of “roughly 120 questions” sent to game developers in November 2014. There were 771 responses, of which 273 were complete and referred to projects that were
I recently picked up a copy of Harvard Business Review’s Ten Must-Reads On Teams. Lynda Gratton and Tamara J. Erickson note in Eight Ways to Build Collaborative Teams that teams are getting larger, more complex, and more virtual, and that each of these factors mitigates AGAINST successful collaboration.

The Kellogg School of Management devoted its Fall 2012 alumni magazine issue to “The Collaboration Economy” and the school’s commitment to thought leadership within it.

At the HRD 2012 conference, attendees heard that the role of the learning professional is more and more shifting to that of “curator” of content already available to the public, rather than producer of proprietary content for the organization. Color me skeptical. Certainly, especially in consumer product fields, there is a great deal to be
Probably from the dawn of record-keeping, there has been a tension between maintaining written records in highly structured, or relatively unstructured formats. Now that we are having so many conversations in written form, the question looms large in social media. It’s much easier to write in a stream of consciousness fashion than it is to
As the CPsquare “Long Live the Platform” conference wraps up this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about “community” and its role within the enterprise. Community is one of those concepts debated endlessly in circles of individuals who have spent their careers involved in one way or another with computer-mediated communication. The central question among
CPsquare, the Community of Practice on Communities of Practice, is doing a month-long exploration of platforms supporting communities of practice, called Long Live the Platform. It’s an interesting exercise. So far, there have been two presentations, one by our own Bill Bruck on Q2’s xPERT eCampus and another by Bob Doyle who has put together
The old saw suggests that if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. We’re seeing a lot of that in the social software space. Apparently, now that every corporate executive has a kid on Facebook, more and more companies in the Web2.0, social software space feel the need to
