The 3-Os Model of Learning: Onsite, Online & Ongoing

Create A Strategic, High Performance & Continuous Learning Culture

The 3-Os Consultation Team designs and facilitates strategic, high-performing learning Communities. We mentor, coach and train your employees and teams to effectively collaborate at a distance and create a sustainable base for your organization in a 21st century networked connected reality.

The 3-Os can add value to a learning program or a project by:

Leveraging the Connected, Web 2.0 / Networked Learning Organizations

  1. Create a continuous learning organization from within by stakeholders, leveraging on the connected networked possibility of Web 2.0 learning technologies
  2. Enable permanent access to learning - mobile, 24/7, games-based vs. asynchronous training, and limited access.
  3. Encourage, stimulate and unleash the power of an organization's connected knowledge and social networks
  4. Develop a participatory collaboration environment that allows employees to co-design their future, and focuses on knowledge sharing as a sustainable and renewable resource
  5. Nurture a climate of openness, sharing and self-organization aligned to achieve the organization's needs
  6. Leverage social media, networking and learning technologies (i.e., Skype, YouTube, SlideShare, Go To Meeting, Elluminate, and Wikis) for tangible results.

Tapping into Your Employees' Intrinsic Motivation & Desire to Lead

  1. Supporting employees and projects teams to participate in the development of their own learning agenda and learning ecologies.
  2. Customize workshop programs for learners' needs and preferred time/location, with their thinking, participation and involvement (vs. a pre-packaged courses; or very expensive 'expert' driven courses)
  3. Developing meaningful metrics to measure performance and innovation.
  4. Facilitate continuous, flexible, self-motivated learning-on-the-job with access to peers and experts for problem-solving, inquiry and working through tasks during projects

Sustaining Workshop Learning & Action Planning: Keep the Momentum Going

  1. Develop internal expertise, confidence and capacity as a learning community
  2. Build online trust and enable staff to rapidly evolve and transition to new roles and responsibilities.
  3. Provide online, real-time mentoring to workshop participants.
  4. Continue online, real-time mentoring support, as workshop action plans are implemented.
  5. Continue learning conversations online after a project workshop or between meetings.

Increasing On the Job Performance, Collaboration and Innovation

  1. Stimulate collaboration, synergies and innovation through accelerating sharing of employees' ideas and dreams, triggering the incubation and development of next-generation products and services.
  2. Enable peer-to-peer, and mentor dialogues that leverage proven value of social and informal learning (i.e., Etienne Wenger, Jay Cross), in asynchronous or real-time.
  3. Accelerate internal and external learning and engagement, including customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to integrate their insights and ideas.
  4. Enable on-the-job cognitive and social apprenticeship via communities of practice around cross-cutting inter-departmental projects.
  5. Enable rapid proof-of-concept development for strategic flexibility, organizational learning and faster time-to-market (including (and associated individual and team identities, cognition and competencies).
  6. Increase knowledge flow across projects (incorporating action learning) for improved knowledge management and performance.


Designing Cost-Effective, Connnected, Distributed, Personalised, Flexible, Networked & Scalable Learning Models

In addition to developing high-performing Learning Communities, the 3-O's Consultation Team can also help your organization customize and adapt WikiEducator's innovative and highly-scalable Learning4Content e-learning / training model (which has trained 3,500+ educators from 110+ countries in wiki skills over 18 months). In the process, WikiEducator has become a top 100,000 website with 11,000 users around the globe. (Alexa.com} In October 2009, it recorded 10.5 million hits.

Additional outputs include:

  • WikiEducator's Skills Development Framework and Apprenticeship Certification
  • Development of quality open educational materials and resources (OERs) (i.e., print, audio, video)
    • unlimited access to free, easy-to-use, open-source Wiki-platform for participants and faculty to collaboratively develop the programme and materials;
    • Rapid customization of open educational materials / OERs for quality experience
  • Development of Change / Transition Approaches for increasing stakeholder engagement; anticipating resistance; designing and evaluating interventions to increase performance; and, communicating results
  • Body of Knowledge (BOK) Refined: through ongoing use, input and feedback by members of the values-based WikiEducator Learning Community.
  • Multiple training formats: 10-day, 5-day, 1-day, 1/2 day, 2 hours, 1 hour, 17 minutes
  • Multiple learning communities formed: by training / course date, language, context, organization, area of interest
  • Multiple versions of education materials: different languages, contexts, customizations
  • Multiple learning / facilitation formats: Face-to-Face, Asynchronous, Synchronous, Blended Learning
  • High levels of project collaboration and time spent on website
  • Advanced analytic, reporting and communications capabilities
  • Strong Relationship formed: WikiEducator and the International Centre for Open Education (OER) Foundation in NZ for international marketing, outreach, advocacy and communications opportunities.


Monetizing Curriculum/Materials Development, Online Publishing and Certification

A Learning Community may create and / or enhance a curriculum, learning material or video -- which itself can be used, monetized, repurposed (i.e, another format, translated, contextualized and adapted to a specific culture, grade level, etc.), monetized, etc.

By leveraging WikiEducator's Learning4Content model, open-access content and resources could be available with or without a fee, but mentoring / coaching / instruction could be available at a fee, as could the actual certification. There could also be on-demand publishing options for companion texts.

  • An association or 3rd party could charge a fee to take preparatory courses, and there could be a fee to receive certification -- perhaps as a means of professionalizing the profession / members, and increasing the (international / national / sectoral) credibility of the "Association". ** See the Project Management Professional (PMP) designation as an example.
