We created the following four scenarios:

A Two-Pager About the Scenarios

This two-pager is one way of visualising the scenarios (we still need a better one):

We Need a (Great) Visual of the Four Scenarios

It would be great if one of the conference/workshop attendees could spend a little bit of time and create a visual for the four scenarios? One Word-based idea is available here, but we are sure you can do a better job!

Quantified Self

This scenario is flexible, individualistic and enabled and is data driven.

Individuals are flex/network workers. Data is used to continuously monitor and improve individual performance and it is used to assure competences.

• Individual in control
• Competence development through monitoring / automated feedback
• High talent mobility
• Self compliance (data to proof compliance)

Please use the hashtags #lrnscen and #quantifiedself to discuss this scenario on Twitter.

Big Data

This scenario is structured, regulated and managed and is data driven.

The organization is structuring and regulating work and required competences. Data drives decisions, also in learning. Performance and competence data is being used to manage the performance of employees.

• Data driven organization
• Outsourcing / franchise models (company = data)
• High volume, high variety (personalised information)
• Structural competence visualization

Please use the hashtags #lrnscen and #bigdata to discuss this scenario on Twitter.

In-crowd

This scenario is flexible, individualistic and enabled and is relationship driven.

Work is flexible and network based. Individuals organize in communities in order to build and leverage relationships. Learning and development happens through communities.

Characteristics of this scenario are:

• Community of practice: hyper connectivity (also physical) inside community – low connectivity outside community
• Interest/passion driven
• Many repositories of content
• Wide variation of roles
• Development: peer, self directed
• Personal networks, professional connections
• Community is curator
• Personal value aligned (purpose, meaning)
• Subject Matter Experts emerge from community

Please use the hashtags #lrnscen and #incrowd to discuss this scenario on Twitter.

Old Boy Network

This scenario is structured, regulated and managed and is relationship driven.

Work is structured by organizations. Work is done through relationships. Learning and development is highly structured and planned.

Characteristics of this scenario are:

• Clear expectations, clear roles
• Organizational driven development
• Structural talent management
• Competency mapping
• Subject Matter Expert focused (authoritative knowledge)
• Planned innovation (business cases, calculated risks)
• Planned careers
• Large structured curricula

Please use the hashtags #lrnscen and #oldboy to discuss this scenario on Twitter.

Raw Scenario Work (before consolidation)

These are the scenarios and trends that the four groups came up with.

Two of the groups also had people create an mind map: Laura’s group and Charles’ group.
