- Plenary for corporate
Unlike others that shall remain unnamed, I was present at the plenary session in the morning, party or no party. On our chairs we all found the characteristics of a learning culture, or a high performance culture as Josh Bersin's research has revealed. He was one of the keynote speakers. I'm already a subscriber to his research, so not new but still interesting.
- Learning in 3D ; and my presentation on inclusive leadership in Second Life
Poor Jane. She was chairing this session that was all about technology (going into Second Life for demo, getting in speakers from the USA via Skype, and one of the few sessions with live streaming...) . I won't comment on how the technology side went exactly, suffice to look at the picture below on how this poor guy from the conference team had to hold up the PC with Tony O'Driscoll's face during his virtual intervention...
Anyway, have you ever seen a recording of your own presentations? Piece of advice: never look at them. The session got recorded, including my piece on a training IBM created in Second Life. Here is the replay.What am I trying to do with my hand?
Anyway, here is the presentation, and the associated video.
There was prior to the conference also an interview on the same topic, you can find it here.
Redesigning virtual classroom to virtual worlds; IBM; inclusive leadership

Fair comment from the audience that our measurement on the impact was above all in comparison to the way before (centra virtual class session) and 'level 1' in nature. I don't have statistics on other measurements we did in this pilot, but I'll try to find out if we have them. I know we conduct level 2, but for the entire program, not just for this individual 3D module.
Workscapes
The Internet Time Alliance did its session on workscapes and working smarter. Jay Cross kindly offered to equally sell me book in the session, so I ended up signing a few copies.
I attended a few more sessions, had a relaxed drink in the Marlene bar afterwards, joined Rebecca and Astrid and guests for dinner until my friend landed in Berlin and we spend a wonderful weekend. Tip: if you are going to Berlin soon, the Hitler exhibition is really worth a visit (Museum of German History I believe), as is the temporary exhibition on German art between 1900-1950 in the Neue NationalGalerie.
