Context-not-Control is the Enterprise Camp “raison d’être”

I’v been reading the Culture at Netflix presentation upon suggestion by @dharmesh and I found great insights for our Peer-Learning business, and confirmation of its validity as a management and development tool for forward looking companies!

Context not Control

  • The best managers figure out how to get great outcomes by setting the appropriate context, rather than by trying to control their people.
  • Provide the insight and understanding to enable sound decisions
  • High performance people will do better work if they understand the context

This is exactly what Peer-Learning is about, especially when applied to the corporate setting. A Peer-Learning environment such as theEnterpriseCamp is the appropriate context to get the best out of a group of employees on a specific Theme. Read the rest of this entry »

6 great meetings in a row after 2 weeks on twitter!

A few weeks ago I had six meetings in a row in Utrecht for developing the Dutch branch of my business for Entrepreneurs Peer-Learning.

The great thing of it is that I met 6 RELEVANT people about Entrepreneurs Peer-Learning and Collaborative Knowledge Creation who I got to know exclusively through twitter. And something unbelievable for me – if I didn’t try it – I met these people after opening my twitter account just 2 (two) weeks before! Read the rest of this entry »

Which Are Emerging Technologies in Education?

The annual Horizon Report is a qualitative research project established in 2002 that identifies and describes emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression on college and university campuses within the next five years.
In each edition of the Horizon Report, six emerging technologies or practices are described that are likely to enter mainstream use on campuses in the next one to five years. Each report also presents critical trends and challenges that will affect teaching and learning over the same time frame.
The 2010 edition was recently published by The New Media Consortium and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative.
In the last 3 editions several trends were highlighted: Read the rest of this entry »

Which Is The REAL Use of GoogleWave?

I’m an early-adopter, or a late early-adopter I should say. I got in the Wave last November, several months after its restricted launch, that’s why the “late.”

As soon as I knew about it I desperately wanted it! It’s an impressive piece of technology with the promise to change our lives, although so far the hype has a bit faded and it hasn’t yet been released publicly.

The Google team suggests a number of uses for the Wave, a few of which I consider very interesting and relevant to peer-learning. That is

  • Group Projects
  • Brainstorming
  • Meeting Notes

The presentation video shows quite convincingly how the Wave can be used to these purposes, but to date I couldn’t find any post, anywhere, about the actual use of a Wave in a professional setting. Read the rest of this entry »
