I always find it very interesting what early adopters latch onto.  And when it comes to technology, I am even more surprised.  Lately, I have read a lot about Pinterest.  I need to play around with it and see what I think but immediately I consider “How can this be used for performance improvement?”  One idea might be to use it to get participants to learn more about each other before an online or face to face session.  Another possibility could be creating a group and have them work in teams to create a pinboard.  The debrief could be an interesting lesson in team dynamics, communication and influence.

What do you think?  Do you think the pinboard could be useful in a training or teaming situation?
