Social learning has been characterized as the latest and
greatest thing to come to the corporate world since the W2 form. It’s a nice
narrative and helps consultants sell their services. But social learning has
been going back to the days of cave paintings. Hunters communicated to work
together and learn the techniques necessary to hunt enough prey to survive.
Kids learn social survival skills on the playground and customer service reps
pick up tips and hints from their coworkers.
We recognize the names of the social media tools that have
become prevalent in society. Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and facebook are
household names. The problem is that the focus is often on the tool used, rather
than the purpose we use it for.
As the saying goes, “a fool with a tool is still a fool.” We
can have great tools to work with, but if we use them the wrong way, we will
fail to be effective.
To ensure that we use these tools effectively, we need to
really think about what we are trying to accomplish. We have to consider what
we are doing and what benefit it provides to the organization.
