In this post, I want to demystify working out loud and highlight the organizational as well as personal growth that accrues from the practice. It has helped me to develop my personal learning network (PLN) and enabled my PKM. We live in an age of information abundance but lacking in insight and wisdom; it is almost impossible to make sense of it as an individual. Given this VUCA world, it is imperative for and incumbent on all of us to remain learning agile and relevant.

I spent the greater part of the weekend mulling over the practice of working out loud, what makes some folks adopt the habit with ease while others struggle, and what could be some of the possible enabling factors that support working out loud. Community members learn together, share feedback, take onus of building the domain. Talented coders and developers come together to learn, share and co-create. We all know that true learning takes place through dialogues.

It is equally vital to understand that different officers of your corporation will approach decisions about learning in very different ways depending on their circumstances. Every business decision is made with less than perfect information, and every decision entails taking a risk. Saying “We don’t have enough information” is not an acceptable excuse.
