  But never ignorethe trends.... • Knowledge workers have to deal with an incredible volume of information each day, from multiple disparate sources. • Being better informed is helpful, but creates a set of challenges too. • The real challenge isn't overload per se, but the difficulty of extracting relevant knowledge from the information deluge. • Information needs to be "managed and made productive" (great phrase) • Making better use of valuable information will result in better business value being delivered. • When you can offer work anywhere in the country, it attracts incredibly well qualified people. Any organization that does this has an advantage over those that do not. • Distributed work enables a nation’s talent and expertise to be tapped as never before. Once people’s expertise and talent can be better matched to where it has value, there are enormous benefits. • It builds national competitiveness and social well-being to a massive degree.

  Decide for yourself. Forme it is about networked learning. “Instead of the individual having to evaluate and process every bit of information, she/he creates a personal network of trusted nodes: people and content, enhanced by technology. The act of knowledge is offloaded onto the network itself.” George Siemens, Knowing Knowledge

Australia’s multicultural nature is one of its greatest strengths. In a connected world this enables us to bring together our talents, and link to global expertise and clients.

  Don’t call itlearning.... The accelerating rate of change in business forces everyone in every organization to make a choice: learn while you work or become obsolete. Nonetheless, never use the word "learning" with a senior executive. Today’s knowledge work environment screams out for a never-ending process of applying learning while working, not apart from it, predicated on: •learning what you need to know, when you need to know it •reinforcing the lesson by applying that knowledge immediately •knowing where to find relevant information in lieu of memorizing it •learning from your peers and on your own rather than from instructors following a set curriculum.
