2. “Now, we own the means of production--it's in our heads. It's
what we know and can do. Do we really want to turn that
over to the organization to decide? Or do we want to be the
people who say `I'm going to take charge of my own learning.
I'm going to be curious and pay attention to what's changing
and where things are going and I'm going to pro-actively
prepare myself for those things, regardless of whether or not
the organization tells me I need to learn this.` We shouldn't
be waiting to receive permission or be empowered. We
should be seizing that power and doing everything with it
that we can“
Michelle Martin, The Bamboo Project
3. Emergent work practices: Bricolage, patchworking
Emergent environments: Distributed, dynamically-
changing, technologically-mediated, complex or
chaotic
Emergent capabilities: self-regulation, self-
organisation, operating in ill-defined domains &
across geographic boundaries, networking, peering,
sharing
Emergent technologies: social, adaptive, intuitive
4. What behaviours/capabilities do individuals require to operate in
an open/ networked society ?
How can collective knowledge be used by individuals and to
support learning?
How can individuals make sense of distributed, collective
knowledge to support new learning and work patterns?
What sorts of adaptive technology tools can support the use of
collective knowledge?
