HR – What is the organizational reality today? How does HR fit with it?
But now at the high end and at the skill end this is changing. People with important skills that everyone needs
You paid for real skill and not for position. This is an artifact that has skill boundaries and skill demands. Jon and I hope to reveal to you why it is so hard to get performance from a conventional organization today? Why do they find change so hard?

Presentation of the Self on the Web
Let me be clear; I love it when I see students being witty, creative and skilled and I encourage that. I have been, as they say, “active on the web” since the late nineties, and have really enjoyed the social aspects of it since at least 2005, earlier if you count social bookmarking. I have a strong

Blog>> From Data, with Love
Jeremy’s comment reminded me that data can also be rich in meaning when we can play in it in less structured ways – though we need to be much more skilled and ethically aware when we do this.
(3) That most hallowed of mental models and glib explanations, the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom hierarchy has taken a bit of a beating this week. It started in a innocent enough way when, in a discussion about knowledge sharing and generation on the KM4Dev listserve, somebody cited the DIKW model as a way of describing how knowledge is generated in organisations.

Skills for Learning Professionals…Part 2
After posting my 4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals in response to Tony’s July “Big Question,” he commented:
I like your meta skills, but …
was hoping that you would provide insight into the core skills and knowledge around communities and networks that learning professionals should have?
It is hard to let some Tony Karrer disappointment persist. Nancy - I was super excited when I saw that you had posted on the topic.

One Hundred DIY Skills Everyone Should Have
Popular Mechanics magazine runs a list of 100 do-it-yourself skills that every "competent man" should know. 100 Skills Every Man Should Know [Popular Mechanics via Make Our annoyance about the gender specificity aside, the list is decent, if a bit stretched out to hit that 100 total. How many of these things do the women and men who read Lifehacker know how to do?

Network Skills
I personally believe that one of the areas where learning professionals need the most help is how communities and networks impact learning and building individual and facilitation skills around these: Knowing how to individually leverage Network Skills and Communities to help with work and learning tasks Community and Network Facilitation Skills to help others learn and work using networks and communities In my post Networks and Learning Communities , I looked a bit at this topic. But, I by no means consider myself an expert and find that I spend quite a

Deeper Skills for Learning Professionals…Part 4
This series on Skills for Learning Professionals and Knowledge Workers ( Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 ) have spiked the old hit-meeter and shown up on Tweets all week. Today Michele Martin posted an important amplification to the “Four Meta Skills” from Part 1 . In it she says that scanning, filtering, connecting and sense-making are critical skills. It is fascinating to see what strikes a cord. There have been many thoughtful and insightful comments and the other blog posts responding to Tony K’s Big Question have been fabulous. (I

4 Meta Skills for Learning Professionals
world, where learning and performance solutions take on a wider variety of forms and where churn happens at a much more rapid pace, what new skills and knowledge are required for learning professionals?
So I want to focus in on three “meta” skills that may be a little harder to quantify, but which I feel are at the root of most of the other skills already mentioned. This month’s “Big Question” from Tony Karrer jolted me out of my sun-gardening-induced blogging lethargy to reply to this question:

Co-operation: from soft skill to hard skill
What are known as soft skills , like getting along with others, are becoming much more important than commonly known hard skills. People skills, while a bonus, were not seen as an essential, despite the fact that fewer than half of CEOs globally (and around a third in the UK) felt their HR department could manage the people agenda adequately by itself.
Work in networks requires different skills than in directed hierarchies, which have nurtured This is still not a general perception amongst business leaders; as recently as last year, Management-Issues reported:

Raising the Bar on Online Event Practices
I’d like to re-frame and talk about the skills we should be cultivating and the technology we MUST demand. Plus, I guess this is a natural follow on to this week’s rants on Skills for Learning Professionals and Knowledge Workers ( Part 1 , part 2 , part 3 ).
Alan also mentioned Jonathan Finkelstein’s Learning in Real Time (book and web site) and Jon’s mad skills . Alan Levine wrote a deliciously provocative post on last month that I’ve been meaning to comment upon, Five Ways to Run a Deadly Online Seminar . When I read it, my head was bobbing

Work Skills Keeping Up?
In New Work and New Work Skills , I discuss the fact that most of us have not participated in formal learning since college on foundational knowledge work skills - especially metacognitive skills. Our last formal learning used card catalogs, microfiche readers, Xerox machines, libraries, etc. Most of us have strong skills in some areas and are much weaker in others simply due to the fact that we acquire our skills in completely ad hoc ways. When were you taught: how to take take notes on a laptop during a meeting, how to filter a flood of new content, how to reach out via networks to find expertise, how to leverage the wisdom of crowds? Tilde Effect What epitomizes the situation for me is the Google ~ operator.

Work Literacy Skills Workshop Was the last formal training you had on knowledge work skills the use of a card catalog and microfiche reader?
