Donald Clark will be speaking about Weapons of Mass Collaboration at Learning Pool's Public Sector Learning Conference on 20th May. He sees WMC as a big opportunity and quick win for public sector organisations.

Donald's talk has its roots in the fact that local authority spending on training per annum is over £500m and two thirds of this spend is duplicated (Audit Commission statistics).

So there's opportunity for savings through collaboration. And I'd imagine those savings aren't just fiscal - joint content creation and commissioning will save time. And there's always the hard-to-measure advantages of collaboration - I always find that in well-managed collaboration, creativity, innovation, engagement and learning increase.

To find out what Donald thinks are the Weapons that enable Mass Collaboration you'll have to catch the talk or podcast. I'm a huge fan of Donald's blog and twitter stream, so it'll be great to see him in the flesh.

Other speakers at Public Sector Learning Conference include:

Ben Page, MD, Ipos MORI
Major Roy Evans, British Army
Charles Jennings, Duntroon Associates
Henry Stewart, Chief Executive, Happy Computers

I'll be attending too to give a class on creative content creation - more on that later.
