RSS Networks for Learning
Friday, September 23rd, 2005
After 10 years of building technology-based learning programs for
professionals, the Otter Group is now building RSS networks for
enterprises, workgroups, and professional networks. RSS networks enable
powerful personalization and customization, complex filtering and
intelligent analysis of all kinds of content flowing through an
organization. RSS networks integrate with a company’s existing methods
of sharing information such as Microsoft Outlook or can be built into
new user interfaces like Google Desktop so that people can share what
they know and find what they need.
We are demonstrating our new system for learning and information
management that solves the problems organizations now experience with
current technologies and methods: too much content for portals; too
much email; and knowledge and learning management systems that don’t
really work.
Download the description of our presentation below and
call us (617-973-9400) to learn more about RSS networks for your
workgroup or organization. We’ll help you deliver the right
information, in the right format, to the right people, at the right
time.
Talk about RSS Learning Networks
Friday, September 16th, 2005On Tuesday, October 11th, Kathleen will be giving a talk on RSS Learning Networks at the Mass-ISPI Meeting.

Presentation Description:
Technology was supposed to make learning better, faster, and easier. But
technology-enabled learning has not fulfilled its promise. People are
spending as much as five hours per week looking for information. While
they learn best from one another, the learning management systems
organizations are using do not enable that. Companies want each person
to contribute their expertise to the maximum benefit of the whole
enterprise but until now there have not been systems that make that
possible. What we need is a solution that will increase transparency,
improve knowledge sharing, allow end users to determine what is of
greatest value to them and harness the collective intelligence of an
organization.
This presentation will: 1) Explore a new system for learning and
information management that solves the problems that users experience
with current technologies and methods. 2) See how RSS can be used to
create learning networks and enable powerful personalization and
customization, complex filtering and analysis of all kinds of content
flowing through an organization. and 3) Look at a prototype of an RSS
learning network and two use case scenarios where RSS networks are used
for innovation in a large financial services company and for resource
and project management at a global engineering firm.
The presentation will look at some specific examples of RSS
Learning Networks at Merrill Lynch and some use cases of learning
networks for project and resource management.
Presentation to Conference Board's Innovation Conference
Friday, May 27th, 2005I was asked by Art Hutchinson, to be part of a panel at The Conference Board “2005 Growth and Innovation Conference,”
May 25 in New York. Our panel was supposed to address how it might be
possible to use prediction markets to “measure innovation
success,” that is, to justify future investment, create new
opportunities, reward star performers and to determine when an idea
should be abandoned.
Here are the slides from my presentation in
which I gave an overview of why the Merrill program is successful and
then focused on how programs like it can be expanded, improved, and
accelerated by using such new technologies and tools as enterprise RSS
and prediction markets to benefit from the collective intelligence of
the group.
