Rigid, top-down corporate cultures become brittle in the face of frequent change. Sustainable organizations gain flexibility by empowering their people to make decisions
Conceptual work is more PULL than PUSH.
Workers in a Pull organization are delegated the power to solve problems and get
things done in the absence of fixed procedures and direct supervision.
Workers who once took orders increasingly collaborate on their own initiatives. As workers become personally responsible for keeping up and working smarter, the distinction between work and learning blurs until they are the same entity.
into their own hands, i.e. Pull, it’s called informal or social learning. Pull is not inevitably superior to Push. Onboarding, learning a new field, or acquiring technical skills often require Push, i.e. formal, learning.
L&D organization lacks the clout to make holistic changes of this nature.
Managers of L&D gripe that they are not invited to "sit at the table" with C-level movers and shakers. This is a fool's errand. The tail does not wag the dog. L&D's function is helping people acquire the know-how to fulfill the mission and gaining management's support to carry it out. In other words, L&D needs to invite senior management to huddle with them at another table: governance.
Set up a backchannelOne of my favourite tools to use during presentations is Today’sMeet http://todaysmeet.com/ . It’s a great tool for setting up backchannels. A backchannel is basically what your students create when they talk among themselves or text each other during your lesson.The advantage of setting one of these up to allow your audience to do this is that you can capture and share what your audience is saying while they are listening to you and enable them to collaborate and share with each other what they know about the topic and links to any relevant resources.It can also help them to type in questions as they think of them rather than waiting for you to ask at the end, and for me it’s a great way to pass out URLs to interesting websites to give the audience some hands on participation during the presentation.It’s also a good way of getting the audience to brainstorm and do tasks together, just ask a few questions and get them to type in answers, and they’ll appear in the backchannel window for everyone to see.
In a study, smartest teams were distinguished by three characteristics:
First, their members contributed more equally to the team's discussions, rather than letting one or two people dominate the group.
Second, their members scored higher on a test called Reading the Mind in the Eyes, which measures how well people can read complex emotional states from images of faces with only the eyes visible.
Finally, teams with more women outperformed teams with more men.
