In presentations, I often will cite this as an example of the kinds of changes in work skills that have occurred and are constantly occurring.

Effectiveness – Jay Cross. Networks reduce transfer costs to zero, enabling companies to focus on what they do best while outsourcing what others can do better.

I realized back in the late-1990s that PowerPoint had the potential to be an effective authoring tool. Remind them that the visual cues of games, the need to think quickly, the immersive qualities all create an effective learning environment. Adding pressure is the untenable costs of higher education.

With the unknown and the complex becoming the norm in knowledge work, adaptability is the key to dealing with challenges, to be comfortable with ambiguity, and to move to a state where we are constantly learning. And very soon, water goes back to its natural state—open and clear—ready for the next impact.

Sometimes it’s more effective to imbed the knowledge in the work than to plant it in the head of the worker. Old-style training enraged many managers because it was separate from work. Why isn’t Sally at work today? It needn’t be this way, particularly since knowledge work and learning are nearly indistinguishable.

I said yes, and mouthed the old Peter Drucker chestnut that "making knowledge work productive is the greatest economic challenge of this century." The Net's basic flaws cost firms billions, impede innovation, and threaten national security. He asked me if the subject is important. He asked, "Well, was Drucker wrong?"

The way organisations work today is almost unrecognisably different from the structured and closely-managed systems in pre-Internet and pre-ubiquitous connectivity times. They, themselves, expect immediacy and real-time responses. Innovation is their driver and change is accepted as the norm.

We need reactivation, as massed practice isn’t as effective as spaced practice. There’s nothing wrong with a F2F session, if you can justify the opportunity & logistical costs, but it’s typically not enough by itself. The point is that a single event has a low likelihood of achieving meaningful outcomes.

At the same time, we are shifting into an era in which knowledge work and learning occur where re-engineered business processes collide with a participative and interactive ecology of information flows. Make a hypothesis of cause and effect. Network interactions yield volatile results because echo effects amplify signals.

But high-quality training in less time is a real possibility and is necessary for businesses that want to curb costs and inconveniences tied to face-to-face job preparation. The costs of traveling to and from different office locations, and, in some cases, renting space to hold a training session, really add up. In some cases, yes.
