  7. Knowledge Networks • Knowledge isn’t in your head – it is part of a context • Knowledge is ‘in the room’ – a group of people knows more than one person, even if that person is an expert • Knowledge is owned by communities of practice • Knowledge is in the connections which you make

  8. Changing World of Work • Research Findings:- • Managers expect there to be a revolution in working practices • Most managers think their organisations are not adapting fast enough • People should be allowed to manage their own work patterns • Most believe that a new way of working would benefit their organisation • Need a strong culture of trust – to treat people as self-motivated • A. Maitland and P Thomson (2013) Future Work: How Businesses Can Adapt and Thrive in the New World of Work, London: Palgrave

  9. Conclusion: Some Principles • Teaching ≠ Presentation • People learn through conversation • Knowledge doesn’t fit into containers • Understanding = Building Bridges • Teacher ≠ Authority • Encourage Curiosity • Use the technology • Create knowledge connections • Use flip lectures
