Question What does it mean to work in a participatory 2.0 world?
There are some things best not taught directly
Quote of the day Quotations are good for capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational and can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.
Walk the talk We must become the change we want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi
Work with People An innovative, healthy organization requires that we work with people rather than do things to them. Alfie Kohn
No doctrine I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue. Martin Buber
How Children Fail Children do not need to be made to learn to be better, told what to do or shown how. If they are given access to enough of the world, they will see clearly enough what things are truly important to themselves and to others, and they will make for themselves a better path into that world then anyone else could make for them. John Holt
On being taught Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. Sir Winston Churchill
Have learning conversations The kind of conversation I’m interested in is one in which you start with a willingness to emerge a slightly different person. Theodore Zeldin
Yes, You. You control the Information Age. Welcome to your world. Person of the year, December 2006
Yes, we. We control the Informaton Age. Welcome to our world. We are moving to a participatory “WE world”
Conversation How do we better work in a participatory 2.0 world?
Some quotations I did not use
Carpe Diem! Scale back your long hopes to a short period. While we speak, time is envious and is running away from us. Seize the day, trusting little in the future. Horace
Get real Knowledge Management should be focused on real, tangible intractable problems not aspirational goals. It should deal pragmatically with the evolutionary possibilities of the present rather then seeking idealistic solutions. Dave Snowden
Change The only way to change is to change your understanding. Anthony de Mello, Jesuit Priest
Raise all the ships on the sea If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. Sir Isaac Newton
