From Social Media To Social Business Design - Logic + Emotion
We're realizing that the bigger picture goes beyond how you can be a great tweeter, blogger or social media evangelist for your organization.

Are Deep Learning Skills Atrophying? - CLO
No one is saying that applying business-outcome analysis to learning is a bad thing. The question is whether the pendulum has swung too far. One might argue that the balance was once set too far toward instructional design and learning delivery for their own sake, without enough emphasis on the measurable impact of learning on the business.
