Our

Reflection

Time• Reflected on Nokia presentation

• Asked are we being sufficiently expansive?

• Conversation

– Social media could be conduit for university‐

industry collaboration, but learning is more than

tools

– Universities seek to provide ‘deep’ knowledge

education/training

– Too much teaching, not enough learning

ACSI Development Path

The Context

– Enterprises that are global in scope

– Employees interacting in virtual, technology driven‐environments

– Use of social media creating new communication paths

– A cross‐cultural workforce

– Constant change – coping with the unexpected

– Need for transformation as opposed to adjustment

– Ability to work in teams

– Flexible, “ambassadorial” leadership styles

– New concepts of “competence:” ability to navigate, analyze, synthesize

– Changing competition as new kinds of players enter the market

– New definitions of “productivity”

– Shorter

times

to

production

– Younger employees seeking challenge and opportunities for personal development

– Need for continuous learning (not just “teaching”)

– Learning materials provided in shorter bursts, just when needed

– “Democratization” of information resulting in re‐distribution of power

The Premise

There is a new sociology being born in the world

of work that requires universities and business

/ government organizations to create new

ways to provide meaningful life‐long learning

opportunities.

What

are

the

Implications?• Different approaches to program design

• Different approaches to matching employees

to learning opportunities

• Changes in academic “credits” idea?

• Need for new and different kinds of

partnerships…

• etc.

Vision

Values and beliefs

Structures

Behaviors

ACSI

Development

Levels• Level 0: Identifying Needs and Potential

– Needs: rapid changes (knowledge, work force, economy, global presences, etc) so how should

learning (LLL) respond and lead both workforce and

economic development (via human capital)

– Viewpoints: society, individual, university, industry, government have potentially different views of the

needs

– Potential: Significant impact and not business as usual

‐‘game

changing’

influence

for

society

• Level 1: Formulating Strategic Intent – The Premise

ACSI Development Levels

• Level 2‐5: Thoughts

– Educational Value Chain (Star) providing potential

common language enabling university‐industry

collaboration/co‐creation because belief that real

LLL must be done with real partnerships

– Learning is for both individuals and organizations

– Challenges: change management of actors and

processes

Potential

Actions• Use social media to learn strengths/weaknesses

• Use social media to explore the case 2 ideas and

seek both forum for our discussion but

expansive engagement with others

– What might have once been a white paper is now in

the social media forum

Historical Perspective

• Workforce Perspective

– Agrarian culture: many farmers to fewer farmers

as became more efficient, enabling new jobs

– Manufacturing culture: many factory workers to

fewer workers as more automation, enabling new

jobs

– Service culture: many service workers, some in

knowledge service,

but

it

too

will

decline

– What’s next? Wisdom (meta knowledge)?
