Tarina - Teemu Arina’s blog on networked learning, knowlege and collaboration in organizations » Blog Archive » Cultural issues in implemention of social technologies. A few moments ago I delivered my presentation entitled “Culture Matters: The cultural requirements for Web 2.0 powered innovation, networking, and collaboration” at Accenture Innovation Forum here in London. I had plenty of time to research, create and cook up new ideas, so the slideshow is almost completely new compared to my earlier work, but I couldn’t resist to put in a few of my favourites.
I also created a 2×2 matrix to explain my strategy for releasing my presentation recordings. I usually use a camcorder with a wireless microphone to record my talks and I make them available in one way or another – even if the talk was complete failure, as illustrated in the chart below: Top performance and great ideas Action: Video goes unedited on the internet.

Digital media and learning « HeyJude. The MacArthur Foundation launched its five-year, $50 million digital media and learning initiative in 2006 to help determine how digital technologies are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life.

And for example, did you know that many important entrepreneurs take theater classes just to improve their presentation skills? Yes, I am saying that business men, that have MBA’s, also take theater classes just to improve their speaking and presentation skills.
Remember: A good idea is nothing… if you can’t sell it. Here I share with you an excellent article I read from our friend Darren: I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, and was inspired to get it done by Merlin Mann’s recent piece about improving his use of PowerPoint.
