1. Facebook: One-Size-Fits-One Learning: I was so impressed with the phrase that the Director of Learning at Facebook is using that it stopped me in my tracks:
“One-Size-Fits-One” Learning!
Stu Crabb, Facebook Director of Learning, along with Mike Rognlien, “Builder of Awesome Managers”, will detail their shift in learning at a keynote at Learning 2013. “By ruthlessly prioritizing, saying NO to the ‘traditional’ demands of “training department” and really enabling people to own and drive their own development, Facebook’s L&D team is transforming what has traditionally been a curriculum-based approach to learning into one that is dynamic, current, and ‘One-Size-Fits-One’.”
We will interview Stu and Mike, as well as have them lead an interactive session with Learning 2013 participants, detailing how they are shifting the learning culture at Facebook. Details at: http://www.learning2013.com/blog/item/facebook.html
2. Adventure Based Learning - Re-branding: I just finished a short video on “Adventures & Learning”. What if we packaged some of our courses, programs and “experiences” as adventures? I was impressed by a recent book on 1/2 day to 2 day Travel Adventures that one might do as a skill building activity - and wondered what it would be like if we applied that to our Learning Programs. Imagine if you offered a “Walk in the Shoes of the Customer at a Store” adventure. It is a fun concept, and I am wearing my new “adventure vest” in the video:
Adventures in Learning Video.

3. Find Me a Cool Bag, Please! I am bored with those black bags that we all get at conferences and seminars, which many of us leave in our hotel rooms. So, I asked my design team to come up with a very different, fun and high energy bag that reflected zip, brightness and would be brought home by participants - even to give to their kids. Here is the cool bag that we found:
