June Learn Trends - Networked and Social Learning

George Siemens has organized the following event:

Launch Session

Social. Networks. Learning. Organizations


Social learning and social networks continue to grow in prominence in corporations, organizations, and universities. The impact of networks, however, remains somewhat misunderstood. How should organizations “restructure” on network principles? How can ROI be calculated? Are networks a superior method of organization learning and development? How can professionals re-create wholeness of understanding in fragmentary conversations and information shared through social networks? What lessons can learning professionals apply from Facebook, Twitter, iPhone applications, and other software and technology trends?

Join LearnTrends on June 18th for presentation and discussion on the social, networked learning and organizations. Topics include: ROI of networks, Value Networks, fragmented conversations and sensemaking, and the next stages of social and learning networks in organizations.

All sessions will be held online and recordings will be made available after the event.

Session Descriptions:

Organizational Challenges in a World of Networks
Verna Allee

For decades we have designed organizations using organizational charts, and bureaucratic job structures. We have treated the world of human interactions and business transactions as two separate universes. Even the transactional world of business process has worked against networks by its focus on driving out variation – which also drives out innovation. Achieving the benefits of network and building network competencies is an enormous organizational challenge. Complicated processes break down when there is misalignment between human interactions, which operate as networks, and formal structures and systems. How can we meet these challenges. The dynamic network orientation of Value Network Analysis provides systemic insights that "fill the gap" between formal processes, the organization chart, human networks and asset management. A human-centric emphasis on “roles” can open up a whole new approach to organizational design.

Trying to connect to the session, but java won't start. I can run other java apps on my computer, maybe a version issue? Anyone else having issues?

It's so confusing. Why don't you just use and show GMT time for each conference? Don't we live on a networked world? Why is PST so especial, even for Americans?

Comment by Keiran Henderson on June 18, 2009 at 8:16am

I was confused too. I found this link to a clock showing PST time to help keep track of the schedule.

Yes, Pacific Time is LA/Vancouver time GMT -7 (Summer)

Comment by Frédéric DOMON on June 17, 2009 at 5:09pm

A stupid question: Pacific Time = LA time ?

Comment by Tony Karrer on June 17, 2009 at 12:53pm

Whoops, I meant that it's 9:30 - 1PM and then 2:30-3:30.

Comment by Tony Karrer on June 17, 2009 at 12:48pm

It's looking like it will be 9:30 AM - 1PM Pacific Time

Comment by Scott Skibell on June 16, 2009 at 6:36am

Do we know the times yet for all the presenters? So far, it appears to be 11-1pm PST.

Thanks for keeping everyone posted.

What time does this start and how long does it last? This is not very clear from this information.
