I'm sitting here at the keynote by John Seely Brown (JSB) and am I excited to hear him speak this morning. picked up his recent book, the Power of Pull for my Kindle and each time I've picked it up for a reading burst, I've struggled to put it down. This is a packed house at this point and we haven't even gotten close to being started. We'll have to go through good old Brent Schlenker's conference kick off and then we have the opportunity to hear the man himself. JSB's keynote is about small moves, smartly made can set big things in motion. Something has to give. There's no stability in sight. MORE >>

I am with Mark Oelhert this morning in his all day workshop about the tools of the Social Learning Landscape. Mark's focus is to look at social media tools, their impact on an organisation's culture. When Tim Orielly coined the term Web 2.0, he talked about a break in the way we do business. The catch is that you can use social media and Web 2.0 for that matter) in a very Web 1.0 fashion. Mark's in a world of huge scale and classrooms don't scale for him. The end result of this was that the process they wanted to have became just too heavy for them to manage. Do you hear that sound.?

There's a shift happening and its all around us. We may not be a part of that shift yet, but I'm sure each one of us will soon be. We might want to think that technology is changing the way we collaborate and yes that's true! But there's a lot changing in the way we think as well. Managers are starting to think differently, staff definitely has a mind of their own and are more empowered each day and the focus on collaboration is much more than we saw even 3-4 years back. Let's see how we're changing! There was no arguing with that, was there? Apparently that was for 'information security' ! MORE >>

If you follow me on the web, then you perhaps know that I'm big on photography. absolutely love taking pictures - my Flickr stream with about 13000+ pictures will tell you just that. I'm no pro, but something makes me feel I've gotten better with time. As I reflect on the last 10 years of having owned cameras, I think I've some interesting insights on how adults learn. In today's post I want to share some of those thoughts with you and I'd love to hear how you feel about what I'm writing. was just keen to take pictures. All I wanted to do was capture every moment of my life. Try Again. MORE >>

First things first. could really get into trouble with my wife if she reads this post. Let me explain. was having a conversation with one of my friends about elearning and the associated costs and I almost laid a wager to say that you could produce quality elearning in a relatively short time on a pretty low budget. Now this is something all of us (at least in internal teams) have had to go through haven't we? Someone comes to us with an urgent request for creating elearning and gives us all of $100.00 to work with! I've felt like 'old mother hubbard's bare cupboard' in such instances. MORE >>
