what's next

Until now, there was no way to find ideas and stories from multiple sources, to have a candid dialogue about ideas, to quickly share them across the organization, or to provide realtime feedback on activities.

A rich learning and development environment - built around web 2.0 and social software application - is in constant motion, nothing stands still. It is ok  to continuously challenge assumptions  and improve your reasoning. If you think you know everything there is to know about people, your job, your life, humanity - we cannot work together.

Coordinating activities and cultivating people is part of your learning and development environment.

Coordinating focuses on the activities that need to be done and the relationships among them. With blogging, tagging, calenders, events and tracking inherent in the system, people know where they are spending their time, and thus, know how to coordinate activities.

Cultivating focuses on the people doing the activities to get a job done. Learn what employees are sensing about the organization's agenda -- what they want, what they are good at, how they can help one another. To cultivate is to bring out the best in people.

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
