“Social learning is a fundamental shift in how people work leveraging how we have always worked, now with new, more humanizing tools, accelerating individual and collective reach, giving us the resources to create the organization, and the world, we want to live in.”

In this newly revised and updated edition of The New Social Learning, Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner dispel organizational myths and fears about social media. By sharing the success stories of socially engaged companies and people, the much-anticipated second edition persuasively makes the case for using social media to encourage knowledge transfer and real-time learning in a connected and engaging way.

As Steve LeBlanc noted, “Social learning thrives in a culture of service and wonder. It is inspired by leaders, enabled by technology, and ignited by opportunities that have only recently unfolded.” Brand-new case studies about innovative organizations such as Boston Children s Hospital, National Australian Bank, LAZ Parking, Sanofi Pasteur, Cigna, CENTURY 21, and Roche Pharmaceuticals illustrate cutting-edge social learning approaches that cultivate environments where great people can do their best work. The New Social Learning lays the foundation for improving the way you engage with colleagues, collaborate with teams anywhere in the world, and build workforce capability. Take the next step to connect skills and knowledge and move your own organization forward as you reclaim and revolutionize workplace learning.

It's Worth THAT Much

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015

Social Learning is worth every bit of what you invest in it. If the first edition got you started in social learning in your business or organization, this edition will give you a chance to assess where you are. If you don't think your business or organization is using social learning, you're wrong, and the book will help you to recognize it and to put the research base about social learning to work. If, like me, you read the first edition then, like me, you probably forgot some of what you learned and can use a refresher. The new edition is more than a refresher, it includes new material – because a few new things have been learned – and new examples – because a few new things have happened. I learned and re-learned a lot.

Chapter Six: In-person Learning Reimagined was my favorite because I Chair an annual conference and this chapter was a wealth of ideas and information about setting up a conference for effective social learning. Getting people away from the groups they work and live with every day and providing enough time for reflection will be more prominent at my conference next year. I'll implement the backchannel more effectively. We won't be Burning Man but we will incorporate some of what has been learned there. I haven't had this valuable a resource for thinking about making my conference more effective for years.

I give a lot of books away after I read them. I might give this one away too but, I'll definitely replace it with one I can keep for a reference. It's worth that much.

Social learning: real examples, action steps, and more

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2015

This week I took the time to read The New Social Learning (second edition) by Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner. It was a great read and I enjoyed the book. I work as a learning analyst, so I'm very familiar with social learning and how it works. However, this book provides not only insight into the general topic, but it even gives action steps and other helpful information to assist readers in implementing the ideas put forth.

One specific comment that I had not previously considered was this: social learning ensures true diversity of inputs. When we have a classroom-based training session, there is little wiggle room for a diversity of ideas. However, the nature of social lends itself to creating a truly diverse set of ideas.

Finally, as a researcher I particularly appreciate the examples provided within the book of how various companies and learning leaders are making social work within their organizations. Something I hear regularly is that companies want to know "who else is doing this, and how is it working for them?" The concrete case studies help to illustrate that point well.

If you're interested in learning how social/collaborative learning can help your organization, then this is a great choice for you.

Great book to jump into social learning and putting social media to great use for yourself and your teams!

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015

I’m a learning geek and have taken full advantage of social media to learn something new every day. I was excited to read the book The New Social Learning 2nd Edition by Tony Bingham and Marcia Connor. Social media allows people from all over to share and learn from each other. This book champions the benefits of social learning and how it can be used to further learning, organizations, and teams. What better way to engage with others than to put something “out there” and receive hundreds of ideas and thoughts back? That’s social learning.

Bingham and Conner use real life case examples of how business and industry have used social media to grow, empower, and work with the ever changing workforce. They eloquently aim to prove that social media can really transform companies, talent, and even company culture. They explain what a powerful learning tool social media can be when managed and used to encourage more personal connections. Companies need to embrace new social technologies that focus on the talents of everyone, yet bring people together to share strengths.

There is so much negative criticism of social media and The New Social Learning 2nd Edition meets that challenge head to head. The authors effectively shoot down some of the excuses that organizations quote to not use and encourage social media. They reaffirm that social learning does not happen overnight and that social media is a building block on top of other platforms. Various learning methods all need to intertwine. Social learning doesn’t replace formal education or training. It augments it and brings people together. Social learning brings us the wisdom, knowledge, and new tools to our doorstep from around the world.

I eagerly learned how strong company cultures encourage social learning and how impossible it is to prevent people from using social media. You can’t ignore what is in front of people every day so jump into social media and learning so that it benefits everyone and is used for personal and business betterment. This type of learning allows strong people to do their best work. It personalizes the way that people and leaders interact. It brings skills and connectivity to the next level. Social Learning is the new revolution of learning together to grow together.

Whether you manage a company or teams this is a helpful book to pick up to get you thinking. You may look at social media in a fresh way. You may find that your fears of social media are just that – your fears. You will really see for the first time how social learning can really impact a culture and even change a business model. Social learning may increase profits and market growth. Most importantly, social learning is about people, relationships, growth, and connecting. By the way, social media is free and your learning can be too!

The one area that The New Social Learning won’t guide you is how to actually implement social media and social learning into your company or teams. The book skims over the implementation of social learning and does not offer a step by step plan. This is an area where you will need to seek out the assistance of others or find another learning resource.

Lots of Wisdom!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015

Wow! I was blown away by “The New Social Learning” by Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner. The second edition, with the subtitle of “Connect. Collaborate. Work” is absolutely chock-full of nuggets of wonderful wisdom. On page 4, we are told that it’s “not information overload, but filter failure”. “Culture is the steering wheel of the company” is a gem on page 172. And on page 280, we’re reminded that “To attend an event requires sacrifice” – something we intuitively know, but when we see it in black and white, we gain a new perspective.

“The New Social Learning” is a wonderful resource that I’ll be referring to often. I love the attention to detail the authors have given the work from the notes, to the further reading to the glossary and finally the index. It’s a fabulous find!

The only book you will need in designing and deploying Social Learning for your organisation !

Thanks to Marcia and Tony for such an informative and entertaining book. Easy to read, lots of case studies along with a well laid out approach to how you to can implement Social Learning initiatives in your organisation. I highly recommend this book to all L&D professionals. In fact even those not in L&D can benefit from this book's content and approach.

Covering the broad spectrum of implementing a social learning framework the authors provide guidance on all aspects of the process - where to start, how to start, barriers, champions, designing, deploying and of course my favourite of all measuring.

Thanks Tony and Marcia for giving us this special book that will help so many on their social learning journey !
