I love Harold Jarche’s Friday Finds. They are a great resource for looking at contemporary issues as well as finding new sources that I haven’t come across before.
I have a habit of having 20 tabs open at the same time, as I follow different links and then a link from there, and then…. well you can see where I am going with that. So this post is a snapshot of what is open at the moment. I thought it might be interesting to note how I found these different sources as well (if I can remember!)
The Perils of being Invisible (found via Twitter @C4LPT RT of @JaneBozarth)
The messages below refer to HR professionals, but the messages are very relevant to a subset of that group – those in learning and development
“If HR executives aren’t learning about, thinking about and using newer technologies that are available and being used in their own profession, how likely is it that they’re playing a leadership role to ensure that others in the organization are taking the time to learn about, think about and use new technologies in their respective domains? This is particularly important when new technologies begin to emerge that may be disruptive and might threaten the very viability of a business model.”
“My message here isn’t to be sure you’re on LinkedIn or some other social-medial platform. My message is that you can’t be slow to investigate, experiment with, or understand the potential of social-media tools that are springing up and being used in the HR profession. If you fail to stay current with the technology in your own professional space, you could harm your credibility when you try to prepare your organization for technologies that might impact — or disrupt — your business.”
Sketchnotes from a presentation by Lee LeFever on “The Art of Explanation” (found via LinkedIn group “I Sketchnote”)
Great one pager! I have loved the Common Craft videos for a long time, and this book looks like an excellent resource.
The Art of Explanation – Sketchnote
Sketchnoting Thoughts (I think I found it via Google when I was looking for something else)
A wonderful description of the process of sketchnoting. The author, Mark Sheppard, makes three observations about sktechnoting:
- the importance of icons
- the relationship with mind mapping, that is, the importance of making connections between ideas
- “don’t judge“, particularly yourself
Will smaller organisations survive DisabilityCare changes? (via Link Magazine on facebook)
After participating in the Positive Practices Symposium this week (Centre of Excellence for Behaviour Support), it is abundantly clear that the potential impact of the introduction of DisabilityCare is on everyone’s lips. So much is unknown, but the expectation is that the hopes of people with a disability for greater control and for many – greater access to – the support that they need to enjoy a good life, are realised.
Why I stayed (shared via a friend on facebook)
I usually skim posts, articles, and so on, but I read every word in this article. It is about a journalist who changed to lives of two young men who were the subject of her story, and how her life was changed as well.
Lisa and Leroy helped Dartanyon celebrate his bronze medal in judo at the 2012 London Paralympics
Other tabs open include:
Sketchnotes for Developers (another site I found in a google search for something else)
Some great information about sketchnoting.
Chapple Cartoons – Sketchnotes (from the I Sketchnote group on LinkedIn)
Some great examples of Sketchnotes.
