Conversation is the most powerful learning technology ever
invented
Conversations carry news, create meaning, foster cooperation, and
spark innovation.
Encouraging open, honest conversation through work space design, setting ground rules for
conversing productively,
and baking conversation into the corporate culture spreads
intellectual capital, improves cooperation, and strengthens
personal relationships.
Jay Cross, Informal Learning

• Conversations are the way workers discover what they know, share it with their colleagues, and in the process create new knowledge for the organisation.
• In the new economy, conversations are the most important form of work ... so much so that the conversation is the organisation.

The kind of conversation I’m
interested in is one in which you start with a

person.
