COMMENCEMENT SPEECH: ASU

Let me start by speaking very personally. I envy you all.

You are graduating and starting the next phase of your life at an amazing time.

The tools you have been exposed to, the knowledge and skills your have picked up through hard work and play, the networks you have woven for yourselves empower you to do amazing things IF, that is, you are willing to exercise your imagination; and to invoke the social networks you have built to enroll others in the future you are forging for yourselves, for your families, for Arizona and for the world.

You are transitioning from being a student to being an entrepreneurial learner – a learner who is skilled at learning with and from your interactions with the world and with others. You will be engaged in quests where you will draw on known resources all around you but you will also need to discover hidden resources to help you do what others might think impossible. >>

A library is a community hub, where thinkers, dreamers and doers can come together to seek solutions to the grand challenges facing this world. It offers spaces custom-built for collaboration , equipped with cutting-edge tools to make concepts concrete.

Performance Ecosystems: A decision framework to take performance to the next level No company is an island—each operates within ecosystems. Yet most companies lack a robust decision framework to choose those ecosystems and understand the implications of their choice. This report defines ecosystems and assesses the value ecosystems create, as well as the social software and other technology that can be used to manage and deploy them. What are the potential risks associated with different types of ecosystems, and how might those risks be mitigated?

Passion at work: Cultivating passion as a cornerstone of talent developmentIn this new economic landscape, companies need workers who can embrace challenges and connect with others to drive extreme and sustained performance improvement. Yet, only 12% of the workforce has such passion. Our latest report, Passion at work: Cultivating passion as a cornerstone of talent development, draws on quantitative data and in-depth interviews to lay out predictive guidance and practical steps organizations can take to foster the behaviors that lead to the rapid and continuous learning for the twenty-first century.
