Making Performance Social
If there’s one HR process that draws more heated debate than any other, its performance management. The existing model has a 75-year history, initially serving as a means to justify one’s salary.

Free e-learning
In August 2011, Stanford University computer science professor Sebastian Thrun partnered with a group of colleagues and made a decision that would rock the learning fraternity. They decided to open their class to the world allowing anyone, anywhere to attend their course for free. There were no pre-requisites; they had tutorials, exams, and a final assessment. The announcement was made with a single email to a professional group. It was amplified on twitter and within hours 5,000 students signed up.
