What can organizations do to combat learned helplessness of learning in the workplace? It is so close to how L&D operates in many organization too. How is Learned Helplessness of Learning similar and/or different from the concept of learned helplessness in general? Where does Learned Helplessness of Learning come from?

This trust builds something important in an organization and I’d argue creates an even better learning culture. What have you done for someone to help foster a learning culture at your organization? Doing something for someone would be to trust them to decide if they need to partake in training or not.

There are deeper issues here though because often times a users priorities don’t even align with the organizations! To be fair to the user though, there seems to sometimes be a mutual disrespect for one another.

They only look internally within their organization and department. I see a lot of great information out there from a lot of smart people, the problem is that it’s going to people who are already interested in learning and growing. How do we reach the one’s who have already shut themselves off?

Marketing, User Experience, financial, and airlines all have organizations who are doing great things. Learning to Be Mobile. Many groups and industries are doing things right in the shift towards catering to generation mobile. Learning & Development is definitely behind when catering to generation mobile.

There are some common terminology issues in training and staff development departments in many organizations. Some of these terminology issues give birth to larger problems and ways of thinking about training and the goals in organizations. A learning culture comes from a wider organization though, never from a single department.

It’s only a matter of time for organizations to realize that the function of training (if you must, learning) should not be held by one department. The question I was left with (and still remain with) is how it can be used by organizations to accomplish their goals. Idea Management and Design – You Mean PKM?

Getting the social media accounts up and running does take a lot of time, but it also takes a long time to put together proposals and outlines to write content for other organizations. I was able to organize publications in several well-known publications, specifically TD magazine, Learning Solutions Magazine, and CLO magazine.

People seem to think a CoP is a formal group that needs strict guidance and cannot build organically with open discussions and open topics. When there’s strict guidance and you start introducing things like steering committees, the organicness of the CoP is lost rapidly. What would happen if we just let people talk willy-nilly?

Expand beyond your organizations walls too. Never share only within your organization and never feel limited to the diversity it has to offer. Make yourself open and share with others what you’re doing and what your thoughts are. Once you start doing this you’ll find that the world begins opening up to you in new ways.

I’m going to be spending the summer working on ways of doing this and I’m looking forward to making arrangements with some of the L&D organization to showcase what great information and personal attention comes out of the program. It will also need a great deal of marketing skills too though.

I’ll be catching up with what people are saying how CoI could apply to business organizations. I think this is something I’d have to leave for discussion which I’m sure has already been brought up. What do you say about the place of CoI in business? Does it have a place? What’s your experience and thoughts on CoI?

If social learning flops, then L&D and the organization will also flop with it because it’s the only way for an organization to stay relevant. eLearning will have a limited effect on the modern organization. Even from within the organization we can share knowledge at speeds previously unknown. What do you say?
