Informal learning : the Bene Gesserit way

benegesseritWhen you talk about social business, social collaboration, social learning, rapidly the question of informal learning come up. Informal learning is difficult to avoid, since 80% of learning in the company is informal in nature, as stated Jay Cross, author of Informal Learning.

Management 2.0 : storytelling and community

storytellingLast week my blog post was already about storytelling, but more about the vision. Today it’s more about the benefits of this « technique/skill » in the context of a community. In fact, words are the link and the sociable binder of these communities, even more when they are virtual, the distance distending the physical link.

In this post I will focus on sharing experience in community thanks to the storytelling.

Du collaborateur 2.0 à l’entreprise 2.0

Lors de ma critique du précédent livre de Christophe Deschamps, le concept de TIICC (temps, identité numérique, information, capital social, compétences personnelles) et de Personnal Knowledge Management avait retenu mon attention.

  • surinformation
  • fragmentation du savoir
  • incertitude
  • changement rapide
  • dilemmes complexes
  • compétitivité

Véritable boîte à outils, ce livre répond à ces différents défis, car une entreprise 2.0, c’est avant tout un changement culturel et pas d’entreprise 2.0 sans collaborateur 2.0
