This is the third year I’ve made a set of predictions about ‘what next in learning and development’ simply because the calendar clicked around another number in the year column.

Yesterday, Ed Miliband stood before the Labour party conference in Liverpool and took business to task for not always being a responsible force in society. While we may disagree with some elements of what he said, it’s difficult to argue that not all recent business practices have been as positive as we would necessarily want them to be.

My father is in his 80th year. In a move which is bewildering to most of us who know him well, he has decided to become a silver surfer (or given a lack of hair, a shiny surfer in his case).

I’m involved in a debate about social media at the World of Learning Conference at the end of this month (www.learnevents.com).
