Digital Villages blogs about business development environments and global opportunities combining Industry 4.0, Robotization, Automation, IoT, Social Engineering and Open Innovation.
The opportunity to share knowledge and information from all around the world really has created a whole new sense of what education, knowledge management and learning is all about. We sense it with clients, partners and associates, and it has ultimately resulted in more enthusiasm for new development projects.
we start to build a community
we bring people together
ensure that participants understand common goals, standards and values
better understanding of the whole
The concept of having a specialized plan for every client / user / project participant is nothing new, but its efficient processing is new. The critical point is, how ready we are on a mental level to go on a digitally supported journey and explore new territories.
create a sense of timely information and togetherness
enhanced quality and timeliness of communication
it saves time for people involved in the projects
There certainly is potential, taking full advantage of high-speed internet, efficient communication and timely electronic data processing to provide project managers and participants with opportunities to communicate about individual project segment needs, incorporate that in planning for entire projects, and then fine-tune efforts for individual participants within that project.
participants don't need to suffer from being lost in information black-outs
the experience of learning together is much a part of the process
the principle of common good and common understanding
Part of the advantage of the electronic and digital world is speed. There's a real energy and excitement about integrating electronic digital tools into all kinds of business ventures, personalizing daily interaction clients and partners based upon specific needs of individuals or groups, and managing knowledge sharing more efficiently and productively.
we see the evolution of the place where learning takes place
we integrate the science and art of teaching, knowledge transfer and learning online
Today, we are able to include mobile workers into nearly real-time processing of information. There are multiple tracks to be followed in preparing mobile workers and participants for digital exploration and collaboration.
One of the elements we're excited about is increasing customer / user involvement is providing them to have digital access and to have an online communication linkage with project managers and on-site workers through computers and the internet.
increased involvement and awareness
immediate ongoing access
the opportunity to communicate online 1-to-1, 1-to-M, M-to-M
Certain segments of the population are very receptive to using various new communication tools. Intelligent and adaptive business application of Social Media opens up new avenues into previously unknown fields and cross-country roads.

Slide 64: Stephen Collins trib@acidlabs.org skype: trib22 twitter: trib +61 410 680722 www.acidlabs.org strategies, tools and processes to empower knowledge workers
How long will it take for larger corporations to embrace 2.0? What will it take to move from Command - Control to Enterprise 2.0?
The use of collaboration platforms gets a lot of attention
Much talk about next generation tools but there its the activists using them
The human element of enterprise 2.0 is key to success
The new open, global, open, innovative, sharing, interactive mindset has to evolve
I try to figure out how much intelligence there is in networks. Who is able to handle knowledge management in virtual organizations? I'm not sure if anyone is capable!
Generating jobs in the knowledge economy, and retaining that creative class of people, requires much more aggressive investment in cities and mass transit; environmental restoration and quality of life; educational preparedness; as well as cutting edge clean and green industries.
"In other words, building places where people can thrive, rather than sink into depression while stuck in a traffic jam looking at the rusting manufacturing plants along once glorious waterfronts." Writes the Great Lakes Guy.
