Learning Power Laws

Great post by Dion Hinchcliffe - Twenty-two power laws of the emerging social economy where he discusses what Steve Balmer calls “the new normal”. Balmer talks about how a reset of economic expectations during the downturn has created an environment that is putting pressure on business to do more with less.  Some of the specifics of this transformation are captured in the following graphic: This is lines up really well with a lot of what I discuss in Business of Learning and Trends in Learning .  The primary shifts he talks about are: New resource constraints.

It's personally gratifying to see this happening.  While I've not been active blogging (is this really my first post since 2015?), the community of bloggers continues to thrive and anything that highlights the amazing content produced by the diverse blogging community is great.  I also am excited that this awards is focused on top individual posts in different categories.  So instead of the usual top blogs getting the awards, I believe a more diverse set of blogs will be recognized.
