Jay Cross ‘s insight: This is a great essay on how children teach themselves to read — if they are not held back by the school system. The unschoolers’ account of how children learn to read.

The big argument is that “Business process management (BPM) systems can, for the first time in the history of business automation, let companies deal directly with business processes: their discovery, design, deployment, change, and optimization.” A worker can fix a glitch in the system that has been irritating customers for once and for all.

Isn’t this analogous to Daniel Kahneman’s notion of System 1 (the emotional brain) and System 2 (the rational neocortex)? The tacit realm lives in System 1. System 2 uses logic; it’s explicit; you can describe its reasoning in words. Experience and practice are the teachers.

Let me take another run at what Verna does: She evaluates an entity as a living system. Every living system is a self-renewing network. She uses the system map to spot bottlenecks and relationships that need improvement; managers need to focus on the white space between the nodes. Its structure is its best description.

Can you imagine any other human enterprise getting away with such a bogus measurement system? Yet grades are totally irrelevant in real life.

Any system that claims to “manage informal learning” is a learning management system, since once you start to “manage informal learning” it becomes “formal learning” as in a LMS the learning of the learners is still under the control of the organization.
