CRUSHING THE COMPASS: LEARNING IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT DIRECTION
What’s happening with learning and training today?
DISRUPTION: WE INTERRUPT THIS INTERRUPTION TO SHAKE
THINGS UP…
• Disruption very “hip” today because it creates new markets and opportunities
• The “Space Between” as described by Johansson (Medici Effect) and Kim & Mauborgne (Blue Ocean Strategy)

WAS LEARNING ALL THAT DIRECTED ANYWAY?
• Not to argue semantics, but, well…
• Head / Top / Bottom of the class
• Matriculation / Graduation
• What is a “course” if not a route to follow?
• Objectives
• Certificates, degrees – objective tests…
• Values and competencies harder to gauge
• There’s a path to a peak – but what about the space in between?
TECHNOLOGY IS STRIPPING AWAY THE DIRECTION FROM LEARNING
• Recordings and blogs starting to strip beginning and end of traditional “course”
• Collaborative tools and social media strip the top and bottom
• Search technologies and big data strip
process and context

THE NOW MENTALITY STRIPS THE RUDDERS AND SAILS
• Modern and global economy is FAST
• Learning is often obsolete upon completion
• The path to profit is much less“Chartable”
• Demand is outstripping our ability to steer
• Jet planes with steering wheels…
• Failure is not only acceptable, it’s desirable (in small doses)

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?
• From the Silk Road… To the Frontier!
• Competencies and Values Based Rubrics over Objectives
• Mistakes and “UNLearning”
• IEPs over degrees
• No such thing as “Finished”, “Graduated”, or “Done”
• Explorers, pioneers, and cartographers wanted!
NEW FRONTIERS
• Mistakes are what exploring is all about? • UnLearning
• Mistakes are the new right path

NEW FRONTIERS
• What if Objectives became less important than competencies? • We’ve learned to refine and refine and refine our
directives
• Olympics and the Need for Speed
• Enter the Competency and the Value Based Rubric…
NEW FRONTIERS
• IEPs (Individual Learning Plans) over Degrees
• No “one” path anymore
• Training and Education needs to be redefined as an ongoing, and never-ending process
NEW FRONTIERS
• What are the Skillsets of the Pioneer? • Independence and willingness to fail
• Cartography and Documentation
