At Learning Technologies 2009 in London, my friend Laura Overton announced the results of the third in a series of reports by Towards Maturity on the use of learning technologies in the workplace.

As workers co-develop emergent processes they need to be supported through updated information, tools and processes to do their work.

In recent surveys, Dr. Clark Quinn and I found that less than 40 percent of CLOs are involved in corporate decisions about communities of practice, social networks, content repositories, wikis and Internet access. Furthermore, far too many CLOs take no responsibility for the social media that makes collaboration work.
