Recipients champion workplace and social learning practices inside their organization and\/or on the wider stage. They share their work in public and often challenge conventional wisdom. The Award is given to professionals who continuously welcome challenges at the cutting edge of their expertise and are convincing and effective advocates of a humanistic approach to workplace learning and performance.<\/p>\n
We announce the award each year on 5 July, Jay\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
Following his death in November 2015, the partners of the Internet Time Alliance (Jane Hart, Harold Jarche, Charles Jennings, Clark Quinn) resolved to continue Jay\u2019s work. Jay Cross was a deep thinker and a man of many talents, never resting on his past accomplishments, and this award is one way to keep pushing our professional fields and industries to find new and better ways to learn and work.<\/p>\n
The Internet Time Alliance Jay Cross Memorial Award for 2018 is presented to Mark Britz.<\/p>\n
Mark has experience both inside and outside organizations and has focused on improving workplace performance. He questions conventional beliefs about organizational development and has championed better ways to work and learn in the emerging networked workplace. Mark is currently the Senior Manager of Programming at the eLearning Guild as well as a Service Partner with the 70:20:10 Institute. He was an early adopter of using social media for onboarding and has long been active on social media, contributing to the global conversation on improving workplace learning.<\/p>\n
\u201cCulture, the most powerful presence in your organization, is only learned socially & informally. Social Media spreads your culture quickly … for better or worse\u201d \u2014@britz (2012)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
More recently, Mark wrote about learning at work.<\/p>\n
“If we want real learning in organizations we must get back to the core of how and where people learn, and what moves us most. Simply, much learning happens in our work and with others. Organizations\/leadership would do well then to have more strategic conversations about how to create more space, more opportunity, and more connection rather than more courses, classes and content.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It is with great pleasure that we give the third annual Internet Time Alliance Award to Mark Britz.<\/p>\n
