Corporate Learning In A Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous World - Forbes - 0 views

  • Cultivating Learning agility is instilling (or re-instilling for many) a sense of curiosity in new ideas, and the willingness to explore the unfamiliar or established. It is developing the ability and instinct for a person to try to navigate uncharted areas to them or to their organization.
  • They particularly prepare people to best leverage emergent, dynamic, evolving and volatile contexts such as matrix- or network-organizations and teams, communities of practice, virtual teams and workplaces and external partnerships and ecosystems. These apply to any job role internal or external, in cross-functional or cross-team capacities.

Using an ESN for social learning (upcoming social online workshop) | Learning in the So... - 0 views

  • This is not a traditional course, where I provide all the content and then test you on it! It is a social experience hosted in a private Yammer group, where each week you are invited to work on a practical activity and then share your thoughts and your work with the rest of the group. Nothing is compulsory, but you will find that the more you “work out loud” with the other participants, the more you will get out of the workshop. Even showing “raw” examples of your work is valuable for others to see, it doesn’t have to be a perfect product. And of course, it is also helpful to comment on each others work as well as consider how their ideas might work within your own organisation. You will probably want to commit a couple of hours a week for this workshop, but once again it is up to you how much time you devote to it, and also when you do the work.

Debunking the Eureka Moment: Creative Thinking Is a Process - 0 views

  • what should we praise? The effort, the strategies, the doggedness and persistence, the grit people show, the resilience that they show in the face of obstacles, that bouncing back when things go wrong and knowing what to try next. So I think a huge part of promoting a growth mindset in the workplace is to convey those values of process, to give feedback, to reward people engaging in the process, and not just a successful outcome.”
  • Most people don’t want to deal with the accompanying embarrassment or shame that is often required to learn a new skill.

How to raise wages | The New Republic - 0 views

  • Many workers aren’t even getting the pay they’ve been promised for the work they do. Complaints of wage theft, like that experienced by NFL cheerleaders, jumped by 400 percent between 2000 and 2011. It’s rampant in some industries: 89 percent of fast food workers say they’ve been made to work for free off the clock, denied overtime pay, or simply paid less than minimum wage. More is stolen from low-wage workers than is robbed from banks, gas stations, and convenience stores combined. Lawmakers in a handful of cities and two states, Colorado and New York, have passed anti-wage theft ordinances to crack down on companies that steal wages and make it easier for workers to bring claims.

It's not about adding technology to training, but about changing training | Learning in... - 0 views

  •  
    Quote that Jane Hart found from Jane Bozarth, 12/6/14, rest of Jane Hart's post is just as interesting. well worth reading. "The thing that is going to change the game is - the learners …. They are changing the concept of training, and we are increasingly moving toward an age in which the adult worker will not sit still for training that just looks like more "school". They're becoming more sophisticated in their understanding of how learning looks and how it happens. We're going to have to figure out how to provide better performance support, in smaller bites, in places easy for them to access. And we'll need to offer time and space and support so they can create the user-generated help that others need. And if we don't? They won't wait for us. They'll find the means to do it anyway.""

    Charles Jennings, November 17, 2014 "This type of learning is 'designed' by the individual (sometimes with input from their manager), it is self-managed, and the measurement is in terms of outputs - not by passing a test or some form of certification but by demonstrating the ability to do work better, faster, more accurately, with greater agility and levels of innovation if needed."

To Retain Millennial Workers, Groups Must Embrace Tech: Associations Now - 0 views

  • The option to telecommute is one way to attract and retain that talent. The majority of millennials and gen X-ers prefer to work for organizations that offer telecommuting, and 42 and 44 percent, respectively, will accept a lower salary in exchange for this benefit. However, they both still value face-to-face interaction as much as older generations and prefer to work outside the office only one to two days a week.
  • As a younger generation who grew up using technology, millennials expect companies and organizations to be cutting-edge adopters, using the most up-to-date hardware and software to add flexibility and ease to their workflow, according to a new study from CompTIA.

Hot-desking a hot-button issue but it's not going away - 0 views

  • Hot-desking, as I'm sure you know, is the practice of not assigning desks to staff but requiring them to find a new workspace each day.
  • Hot-desking is often accompanied by "activity-based working", where staff are issued laptops or other technology and given the flexibility to work wherever and whenever.
  • Problems included increased distrust, distractions, uncooperative behaviour and negative relationships.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Research published in academic journal Applied Economics earlier this year included a survey of 1000 Australian employees. It found as work environments become more shared, workers report increased demands and decreased supervisor support. Workplace friendships are not improved as a result.
  • The research suggests the practice of movement creates additional work and a sense of marginalisation for hot-deskers.
  • For me the most fascinating insight was the finding that a social structure emerges distinguishing employees who settle in one place and become quasi-owners of a desk, and others who have to move constantly. That's certainly true from my experience.
