Why We Post
Some years ago on Facebook, I made an intriguing observation on why we post. On my feed, I saw a variety of different types of posts. Ignoring the sponsored posts and paid advertisements, I looked at what posts seemed to have more discussion and engagement with my family, friends and peers. I noticed that posts […]
There’s A Hole In My Bucket…Or You’ve Reached Your Email Limit
Last week my husband excitedly told me to stop what I was doing and to listen to a clip he had found on YouTube with Harry Belafonte and Odetta singing the song, “There’s a Hole in My Bucket”. If you haven’t heard it, it’s well worth a listen and a chuckle… As music […]
Part 2 of Social Onboarding…A Case Study
On 4 September I wrote the first part of a project I was the lead developer (okay, the only developer) for a Social Onboarding Program for Retail Store Managers for my previous organisation. The first part of the blog series covered the background, the problem, the needs analysis, stakeholder engagement and recommendations that were part […]

Does Learning & Working Out Loud Help Graduates?
Well I guess we’ll find out soon enough…. Last week I had the pleasure of presenting to our graduates on Yammer. I was asked by the Graduate Committee to run a virtual classroom for our graduates to encourage their use of Yammer. The committee wanted graduates to learn how to use the tool so that they had a way […]
How to Use Yammer to Capture Reflections of Programs or Events
With all this talk of ‘Show My Work’, I decided to go on another tangent (as I normally do) and show another’s work! Shock, horror! Rest assured, with full attribution and with a profusion of thanks and gratitude to my good friend and colleague Paul Batfay (@freefacilitator) who has kindly agreed for me to show HIS […]
Championing Change with Yammer
Over the last few weeks I have felt that I have left my ‘real blogging’ by the wayside. By that I mean I didn’t have any observations made from various activity, comments and experiences that made me sit up, think and reflect. That’s because I have been closed up in a small 1-person meeting room […]
Serendipitous Connections Lead You To a Better World
It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks since my last post. I think that I should scribble notes into my note pad every time I have an engaging and mentally stimulating encounter with people so I don’t forget what we talked about. Even better, I wish I could bottle their passion, enthusiasm and explosion of […]
How Do You Explain Yammer?
Last week I was put through my paces at work. A colleague who I had worked with a couple of years ago to create Role Based Proficiency Pathways for the retail arm of her business came back from maternity leave and she sat next to me at work. We caught up with the “goss” and […]

This week we had our People Day. Over 400 people across Australia in the Human Resource function travelled to Melbourne to gather and hear our Leadership Team talk about the challenges of the future and how we can work together to face them. Although I will not go into detail here about what was covered, […]
So How Do We Know They’re Getting the Right Answers?
This was a question posed to me today by a colleague about the impact of staff seeking answers on the web or on our Enterprise Social Network such as Yammer. The particular example was “what if they ask a question on say, credit policy and the answers that come back to them are actually wrong […]
What I Learned In April
I cannot believe how quickly the months go by this year but in all honesty, I’m secretly thankful for it as it brings me closer to our overseas holiday! This month has been a bumper learning month for me. I started a new role with the Virtual Learning team that saw me help, assist and […]
Social Learning Gets the Guernsey at Team Day
As the last two weeks of my current contract draws to a close, I’m trying to wrap things up and hand over the last bits and pieces to my colleagues. After 15 months as an instructional designer on this major transformation project, I’m leaving with a tinge of sadness. But this role has defined me […]
