Traditional business models were based on "owning" the knowledge and managing the costs of communication.

 

Drucker asserts that the rapid rate of change is shriking the life-span of knowledge and that the physical costs of communication have almost been eliminated (e.g. compare the cost of mailing a letter vs. sending a text or an email!)

 

The risk is that we seek to extend the "lifecycle of our knowledge" instead of making sure that we have the most relevant current knowledge.

 

A recent linkedin debate about how to get learners to turn off their "devices" in the classroom illustrates this point. In the 21st century we should be encouraging learner and instructor to "turn their devices on" and adapt the teaching/learning style to benefit from this use of technology.

 

Have you ever wondered about how current the real world experience of your instructors might be to what they are teaching?

 

Is it more important for the instructor to have the answers or to know where to find the answers? What about the learner?

We have better know - the potential to inexpensively access what is needed -when we need it.

What is your partnering strategy to assure the optimization of performance outcomes?
