About Internet Time Alliance
Jay Cross, Jane Hart, Jon Husband, Harold Jarche, Charles Jennings, and Clark Quinn formed the Internet Time Alliance to help organizations innovate in learning. We are outspoken advocates of curriculum-free, interactive, self-service learning. Organizations call on us to grow ecologies where work and learning are one and the same, where people help one another build competency and master new crafts, where members of self-sustaining communities of professionals participate because they take pride in maintaining their standards and doing a great job, and where all strive to be all they can be. Open, participative, bottom-up, networked, flexible, responsive: that’s learning with business impact.
We currently have our hands full:
- performing a large-scale needs analysis for a breakthrough learning network for physicians
- advising numerous corporations on how to promote cost-effective self-service/just-in-time approaches in lieu of instructor-led workshops
- installing social network learning platforms to support universities, conferences, and professional communities
- building scenarios for the future of learning to accompany new, open, flexible models of business and society
- giving presentations, publishing articles, convening groups, and working with organizations to spread our vision of collaborative learning
While all Internet Time Alliance members have diverse skills, they are complementary and provide a comprehensive solution:
- Jay Cross, with a Harvard MBA and decades of experience in business, has written books on both implementation, ensuring the organizational change is managed, and informal learning, covering the picture beyond the formal course.
- Jane Hart, whose elearning tool of the day is one of the most widely-ready learning technology blogs, serves as our guru of social networking technologies.
- Jon Husband, who coined the term wirearchy, brings an Organizational Development focus with experience as a consultant and facilitator, working on strategy, organizational design, organizational effectiveness and organizational change.
- Harold Jarche, with a background in the military, and performance technologist training, brings the necessary systematicity to the information gathering. His process focus ensures the comprehensiveness of the solution.
- Charles Jennings represents the organizational learning function, having served as CLO of Reuters, and with deep experience in both the business and learning practitioner sides of planning and implementing world-class performance solutions for organizations.
- Clark Quinn earned a PhD in applied cognitive science at UCSD, and brings a deep understanding of learning as well as experience designing technology solutions to ensure that the learner, learning, and user experience are integrated into a successful performance solution.
