Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
I'm going to modify the presentation (which is overly business centric) to allow the author to make the point more generally: "Bringing about change is immensely difficult. It requires that managers schools address questions in four key areas:

  • Systems: Does the company society actually monitor, encourage, and reward this (new) behavior knowledge?
  • Attitude: Do people want to do this? Do they buy in to its importance?"

He concludes, "that's what I focus on - primarily trying to get people excited about the topic, so they will leave the session school actively seeking out the new learning for themselves." Via Jay Cross.
