Early indications of this same paradigm shift can be seen in the learning and education arenas. The problem in executing this shift is not in setting up these new learning environments and communities, but rather in embracing the change. Suddenly, the manager must learn to trust his people on another level. Terrifying!

So what did this teach me about learning? This happens far more frequently with “tell-me” eLearning than it ever should. What other good eLearning resolutions are out there? Collaborative learning? Nothing new, really, but it reinforced the idea that effective training can only be accomplished by doing , not being told.

Rather, it has to be learned through experience. Now, experiential learning is great.
