  •  
    Once again, Copyblogger offers something very worthwhile! Clear and great ideas about how one's "brand" opens or closes doors. 1. Plan the effect you want to have--get to know your audience to use their words in your message 2. Dress the part--understand what motivates them and choose a website theme that uses brand colors, right fonts, and print materials to make a consistent positive impression 3. Stand up straight and make eye contact--own your look on a couple of social media platforms. Do blog posts, webinars, speaking gigs, and interviews. 4. Speak their language--goes back to #1 a bit; do a focus group to pick up their phrases 5. Direct their eyes to your best attributes--three things--size, color, and placement 6. Be yourself--find a way to make them talk about you; exude confidence in what you're doing.

  • Bucky Fuller said many times that you cannot push people, but you can pull them or draw them to your ways of thinking.
  • The way the trim tab and rudder on a ship pull the ship around is that when one turns the trim tab or rudder to one side, it forces the water around the ship to move faster on one side of the ship than on the other side.
  • This lowers the pressure of the water against the ship on that side of the ship.

  • A vacuum is a type of disturbance of the equilibrium forces in society that, in some way, speeds up the flow of energy in the area or direction in which you wish people to move.  This is the human equivalent to Bernoulli’s principle.
  • How this is done is subtle.  Ways to upset the equilibrium pace of society and societal evolution is to introduce new technology, present new information, draw attention to yourself or to something that upsets things in certain ways, or to send out love that draws people in.

    interesting discussion of trim tab and rudders by Lawrence Wilson, an MD. He quotes Richard Buckminster Fuller who said that for one person to change the entire world, they need "to act like the rudder and trim tab of a ship."

Building a successful internal network globally - lessons from the frontline with Telef... - 0 views

  • And I think that’s probably a result of how it was initially rolled out. In some places it’s led to a lack of understanding around how everyone can make an ESN work for them – using it to meet their specific challenges and in a way that best suits each individual. It’s definitely not a question of trawling through a live feed to find something that may or may not be relevant to them, an ESN, used properly, is so much more than that. And it’s up to us in our team to really bring that story to life for each employee. A mammoth task with over 100,000 of us! 
  • One word: COLLABORATION. With our size, geographic scale and employee numbers an ESN, with all the opportunities for collaboration that it affords, is a game-changer.

8 ways to spot a collaborative organisation - NixonMcInnes - 0 views

  • But whether or not they succeed will depend on the alignment of a very special trinity: leadership, culture and strategy. Collaborative organisations have leadership models that are open, conversational in style and flat. That’s certainly the style at Tangerine where everyone is a “leader” and everyone can expect to talk to anyone and be listened too.
  • These organisations also have cultures that are open, high on trust and low on fear of failure. The message isn’t: “What went wrong?” but “What did you learn?”. They have strategies that clearly articulate the benefits of new styles of working. And they create the structures that support, recognise and reward it.
  • Overall, there are eight ways to spot a collaborative organisation:   Leadership teams model collaborative behaviours Resources are devoted to developing and sustaining this way of working High levels of task interdependence The default setting is sharing information There are high levels of trust Conflict seen as part of the creative process – everyone understands and can deal with it The environment of the company and its technology support collaborative working People don’t have to talk about it – it’s just the way things get done

Hierarchical vs Networked learning - NixonMcInnes - 0 views

  • hy forward thinking? Because I think that hierarchical learning isn’t conducive, in fact is obstructive to creating businesses fit for purpose for innovating within disruption. I think the behaviours it creates slows down people’s learning as they go higher up ‘the ladder’, limits their behavioural flexibility and creates a culture where people are afraid to challenge the status quo. And what do I mean by networked learning? I think this has something to do with letting go of words like ‘expert’ and accepting that we are all learning, all of the time. And I think if we can do this, and ask any question without fear, we can shake things up and make things happen.
  • So how could companies themselves encourage and create a safe environment for networked learning? A few ideas: 
  • Cultivate a culture of celebrating failure

Learning Matters: Learning Can Be a Slippery Slope - ETR - 0 views

  • There are three key concepts to put in place once you believe in and acknowledge that “the Dip” is real. Learners must go through the Dip for true learning to take place. In other words, this is part of a normal change process. Both trainers and learners need to own it, embrace it and plan for it. Change is a process, not an event. We have all heard this one before, but do we apply it appropriately? (Hint: Those of you using the PowerPoint osmosis technique, or using a one-time only event to promote learning—stop it!) Learners can survive the Dip. To survive the Dip (or chasm, as the case may be), here are three very important steps learners must consider: Expect it. Name it. Build in support.
