Sense-making & collaboration in hyper-connected work environments is my professional focus. Social learning plays a significant role.

Are things more complex now, than they were five years ago?

Your Work? Your Markets? Your Customers? Your Profession?

Many organizations face the challenge of becoming more networked, collaborative, and distributed, all the while remaining agile in changing markets.

I help organizations, public & private, face complexity and create better ways of working and learning.

As the world keeps churning, work today is all about learning.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops can be customized: from half a day to several days or delivered online for your organization. Workshops are also offered through The Connected Worker.

Workshop themes include:

• From training, to performance, to social
• Personal Knowledge Management
• Social Media Workshops
• Working Smarter
• Learning & Working in Complexity

Working smarter in an increasingly complex business environment requires the integration of learning into the workflow. Whether online communities are designed more for networked learning or collaborative work, there are three major components to address:

1. Business or Operational Model: how the initiative fits into the organization’s ecosystem.
2. Social Architecture: how collaboration is facilitated and what aspects should supported, such as performance support; communities of practice; knowledge management, informal learning or distributed work teams.
3. Technology Platform: identifying and implementing technologies that are best-suited for the organization’s business and collaboration objectives and how they can be integrated within existing constraints.

Consulting services can include business plan development, high-level architecture, statements of work, technical specifications, vendor evaluations, and support for community managers.

PERFORMANCE CONSULTING

Performance Consulting & Strategic Alignment is a consulting service that provides a systemic and systematic approach to align the human performance systems within your organization. The service includes: performance analysis, mapping of the major systems and processes, and the structure for the basis of a business plan. This can be focused on the entire organization or a specific department. For more information, download the Strategic Alignment documentation (PDF):
