The world of business is shifting from push to pull.
In a delightful post on his Edge Perspectives, John Hagel unpacks what this means.
From knowledge stocks to knowledge flows.
From knowledge transfer to knowledge creation.
From explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge.
From transactions to relationships.
From zero sum to positive sum mindsets.
From push programs to pull platforms.
From stable environments to dynamic environments.
What can I say? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
togetherLearn’s thinking is remarkably congruent with John’s.
As the author of Learnscaping, I particularly applaud this sentiment.
If institutions viewed their primary rationale as fostering scalable peer learning, they could create learningscapes* that would help individuals develop their talent much more rapidly than these individuals ever could on their own.

*FYI, I recently discovered that John Seely Brown was talking about learningscapes years before I started writing about Learnscapes in 2004. Great minds… and all that.
