“Who you know becomes as
important as what you know. Conversations help people make meaning and
the quality of our conversations is affected by the quality of our networks.”

Harold, I think this is a key aspect that must be discussed in greater detail. Just like for real physical wealth, in a knowledge economy, we must address the asymmetries by trying to make sure each learner has an equal opportunity to build the right quality of networks through a process of discovery and peer facilitation. Networks are only as good as the people that comprise them.

Today the amount of quality knowledge (even just through blogs) that is flowing around is also mind boggling. These factors enough to deter many people from being able to jump into a conversation in much the same way a student in a classroom is intimidated by the teacher.

It strikes me that your ASTD article takes connectivist theory and puts it into real life practice by explaining why connections trump information on a daily basis in the office! The article is full of great insights that help this along (”… in the knowledge economy … relationships are the currency”). I’m convinced that we will look back on this connectivist concept as one of real significance. You’ve just given me a number of ways to make it concrete – which proves the point of your article! (What a great time to be in the learnign business.)

Wow! I like this one!
It reminds me of an important aspect of Otto Scharmer’s U-Process Theory: Learning from the future as it emerges.

Thank you Harold for this very good text!

I believe that sharing is usually the right thing to do with information.

It’s interesting that the Flow section didn’t make the final edit in the print copy.
