I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I agree with Chris Corrigan:

Somehow, the view of learning in the world has been confused with the kinds of quality control that is attached to manufacturing. We imagine that a learning experience will have specific achievable outcomes and that upon completing a course we can be certified in the competency in which we have been trained. While this can be true for technical training, such as how to operate equipment, with things like art and strategy and leadership and communications and other practice based arts, the opposite is actually true. When I leave practice based learning events I recognize that I am a baby, just starting out, and with a lifetime of practice ahead of me.

Meetings…

Reading my vanity feed this cartoon (originally blogged in 2004) still generates the odd mention. It’s funny how we instantly think of meetings as boring and pointless. I recently asked

Social banking

There are few things I enjoy more than heady conversations about disintermediation. And the disintermediation of the banking industry has a special appeal. So last night’s gig at NESTA a
