What is the lived experience of space, rhythm, harmony, and form in online networked learning? What role will this play in co-creating the futures of corporate learning? Four Japanese words, chosen for their power to defamiliarize, invite us to revisit what we had thought of as known ground. The alien words—BA (shared context), MA (rhythm), WA (harmony), KATA (protocol)—encourage a heightened aesthetic sensibility and a willingness to consider new approaches. How might we enhance the experience—and effectiveness—of networked corporate learning? The ground of inquiry is open conversation in small groups learning together online. This brings us afresh to Ivan Illich’s convivial tooling (1973) and opportunity webs (1972). Our abiding North Star is the emergence of graceful playfulness, a way of being in the world where engaged exploration is its own reward, and learning arises naturally. In the intellectual coffee-houses and salon discussions of the past, the spontaneity of interactions and content were in the lead, and particularly fertile discussions could be prolonged and returned to. The current generation of online tools, while an improvement on what came before, is still far from supporting the conviviality required. Graceful playfulness, both in physical and virtual contexts, requires congenial spaces, where the rhythm of the learning process (and knowledge co-creation process) takes place among people in harmony with each other, working according to a protocol that enhances the group as well as its individual participants. The chapter concludes with the authors’ takeaways from researching and reflecting on the ideas developed in their writing.
