There’s Nothing that Performance Support and a Little Ice Cream Can’t Fix – Performer Support. Please scan Sue Reber’s excellent blog and analogy of banana splits and performance support. Then.. I think there’s a richness here (not just from the whipped cream) in analogy. And, I suggest that there is another dimension that may deserve […]

Jay Cross’ post in the Chief Learning Officer’s blog-space (The Other 90 Percent of Learning – Chief Learning Officer, Solutions for Enterprise Productivity) once again iterates the well-known observation that (depending on how you slice it and who’s doing the slicing) formal learning accounts for far less than 20% of what people need to know […]

It must have been the 1970s when the makers of 7-Up launched a campaign to brand the product as different from all of the popular, caramel-colored beverages of the day. They called theirs, “the Un-Cola.”. This blog entry talks about the Un-conference. Professional academic conferences are formal learning events. A subject matter expert (SME) curates […]

This was in reply to a post that claimed, “Healthcare, you’re not so different.” One of my replies is here, for your edification: I certainly don’t want to polarize the debate as to […]
The Content Economy: The collaboration pyramid or iceberg. Oscar Berg has done a fine job of intersecting “collaboration” with “value creation” in organizations (see link to his blog, above).
