Learning. It’s fundamental to human personal and professional growth. And increasingly, corporations recognize its critical contribution to overall business growth .
But how is the learning process changing in today’s more connected, “social” world of work? Are we making the most of opportunities to collaborate ? How can we leverage personal and professional networks to be smarter and more effective in every aspect of our lives?
This week, our “Summer Restart” series moves beyond last week’s crowdsourcing event , to focus more specifically on how to get more out of tools and techniques designed to curate and share collective wisdom.
Our guest brings unique, first-hand understanding of how and why collaborative learning can enrich our lives, improve professional performance and drive business innovation.
Nick Kellet is a pioneer in applying purposeful collaboration to business challenges and opportunities. He is co-founder of List.ly , a service that empowers people to create, manage, share and engage with the web’s best lists.
Nick helped me frame this week’s events by discussing his perspective on social learning in a brief G+ Hangout:
