I've been thinking about an organisationally driven PLN 'implementation' in the context of the #xplrpln 'problem' and pondering whether or not such a thing would even work - or even whether the idea of a CEO / org driven 'implementation' is actually at odds with the whole concept of a PLN, which is individually driven, and based on personally defined intentions. <br />My concern - stemming from your previous discussion of ownership - is that a CEO / org driven PLN 'implementation' introduces perceptions of org ownership of the 'implementation' (> and the PLNs), and may lead to the expectation that individuals align their PLNs with org objectives, which seems at odds with the concept of a PLN - and may in fact kill the most valuable part of a PLN - the Personal bit.<br />I think the concept of using PLNs to develop individual competencies is very intriguing - and will likely work, as long as those individual competencies are those that the individual also values and feels personally motivated to develop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738705098253305638noreply@blogger.com
