The Community Manager
Der Trainings- oder Bildungsexperte als „Community Manager“? Harold Jarche widmet sich in diesem Beitrag wieder einmal der Zukunft einer Profession im Wandel. „In re-building the training function, we’ve recommended a move from content delivery to Connecting & Communicating. … The role of community manager in an organization will be to manage organizational communities of practice, communities of interest and have an understanding of some of the other communities that touch each of us.“ Kann das funktionieren? Nein, ich glaube nicht an den „Community Manager“. Ich glaube aber an die Kompetenzen, die es braucht, um sinnvoll und bewusst mit der Vielzahl von Netzwerken – formal und informell, online und offline, privat und geschäftlich – umzugehen. Was Bildungsexperten hier leisten können: Mitarbeiter im Erwerb, in der Praxis und der Entwicklung dieser Skills begleiten. Aber vielleicht meint das auch Harold Jarche … der Beitrag hat durchaus noch Entwurfscharakter.

One Response to “The Community Manager”
I too, believe in the value of competencies and have used them in my work. However, they are an artefact of an industrial model and as such have their limitations in a networked workplace. Basic competencies, for foundational skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving, will be needed in future workplaces. However, specific competencies, which many organisations use, are more difficult to develop in a complex, changing environment. Who knew that competencies in micro-blogging would be required for communications professionals even a year ago? It is difficult to develop skills for competencies that do not exist yet.
Thanks for your continuing interest in my writing and holding me to task.
