People, Technology, and Learning
March 25, 2008
As the new marketing manager for LUCRUM, there is so much that I do not understand about what we do. Here is the good news. I know that I can learn. I was reminded of this as I was reading one of Seth Godin’s latest posts about learning. There has never been a time in history where knowledge has been so readily available. The problem now becomes one of attention - picking what to learn out of the vast choices of information. I am lucky to be surrounded by technology experts, all willing to share information about the technical aspects we deliver to our clients. Here at LUCRUM, we regularly have employees present internally on emerging technologies through our Lunch and Learn and Brain Brew programs. Learn by teaching is deeply engrained in our culture. This only helps to make our consultants more effective with our clients, and our team better equipped to meet the evolving needs of business. I know I have a lot to learn. What is better is to know that I work somewhere where I am not only encouraged to learn, I am expected to. Combine the culture I work in with the endless knowledge provided on the web, and there is really no excuse not to learn something of value every day. Occasionally, I might test that knowledge here - soliciting your feedback to yield even greater understanding. What an amazing time to be alive, and what an amazing place to be living it!

David, I wish you good luck at LUCRUM.
I agree with you when you say “The problem now becomes one of attention - picking what to learn out of the vast choices of information.”
Whenever I want to learn something new, I go to a few websites that I trust… plus I find other people who are smarter than me, and see if they have blogs. And if they do, I subscribe to those blogs and soak up their knowledge.
I receive posts from The Future Value Of Business blog via my Google feed reader… which I have set up to feed me posts from other Cincy biz blogs as well.
This helps me to stay educated on the latest and greatest tech news around the globe and here in Cincy.
Everyday that I check my Google Reader, I feel like I’m getting a Masters Degree without paying for it. I love it!
I am a huge fan of RSS as a way to consume relevant knowledge. I happen to use Google Reader as well. I have it integrated into Firefox so that I can easily add new feeds as I find them. Speaking of Master’s Degrees, have you visited PersonalMBA? It is an amazing collection of books on a range of business topics put together by Josh Kauffman. Check it out. Thank for visiting the site Nick, and for continuing to offer your feedback. We love it.
