  • drink a bit of water (500mL is good), and stretch your back, neck, arms and legs. Streching promotes blood flow in the body and will serve to wake your brain up allowing you to get back into 100% concentration much faster. When you’re ready to get back to it, don’t forget to clear your mind and begin with the end in mind again.
  • Constant improvement
  • Highly productive study sessions result in shorter study times and the ability to learn more complex information faster. Establishing a routine that incorporates these methods will allow you to integrate the information you and build networks of knowledge that will act as a foundation for lifelong learning.

communication change tips effective framework planning

shared by Irene V. on 09 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • Understanding the link between communication and change In this webpaper Chrys Horn observes that communication goals are usually seen as being the achievement of some change – getting people to change something that they do or don’t do, like recycle, exercise more, lose weight, accept possum control, provide better services, consult more effectively etc. However, as she points out, if we are to learn to communicate more effectively, however, it is critical to find frameworks to help us think through communication planning. This paper provides one such framework, another provides tips for effective communication. In other papers Chrys looks at lessons learnt through the Landcare Research collaborative learning group in communicating science and evaluating science communication activities. More writing from Chrys can be found on her blog: Learning, science and environment.

    Marketing trends in 2012 25 January, 2012 Madeleine Ross comments "Opportunities go begging in a market ripe for the brave," says Deloitte chief marketing officer David Redhill, and that's certainly the attitude of many marketers looking at the next 12 months. In this year's tough economic climate, with financial trouble plaguing most of Europe and the USA, Australian marketers will be cautious, but that doesn't mean they'll stop spending. Local consumers have grown accustomed to being circumspect and are now looking to do business with reliable institutions. According to Commonwealth Bank's chief marketing and online officer, Andy Lark: "if you're trusted and you've got a good brand, you're in a good position." Reports of flailing foreign economies won't wreak the same havoc they used to on the industry, with agencies and clients now looking towards the  potential downturn as an opportunity to cleverly and cost-effectively win over customers at their most vulnerable. "There is a lot of caution in the market and we are as circumspect as the next business," says Redhill. "But at the same time marketers who invest in brands in downtime are usually the winners because they will emerge stronger as competitors shrink their budgets and reel in their more expansive plans."  The Tontine Group's product development and marketing manager, Lucinda Kew, agrees: "It is actually the brands that invest through difficult times which end up getting the best results because… you're resonating with people and when they get through those difficult times, hopefully you're their brand of choice." More for the same The Commonwealth Bank, bedding manufacturer Tontine and financial advisory firm, Deloitte all plan to maintain their marketing spends this year. That's a relief for agencies, especially in the midst of rumours about a 'race to the bottom' where agencies are fighting for clients and remuneration offers are slumping. But that's not to say brands or agencies can r

Early Majority: Thoughtful people - careful but accepting change more quickly than the average. Late Majority: Sceptical people - will use new ideas or products only when the majority is using it.

It is the simplicity and ease of use of these social networking tools that has brought most success in the shortest amount of time during the [Framework] projects run in 2006."

  • "the importance of communities of practice and their generative knowledge building capacity"
  • The Domain – a shared interest The Community – Engaging in joint activities and discussions, help each other, and share information. The Practice - They develop a shared repertoire of resources: experiences, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring problems - in short a shared practice.
  • A key element of linking, networking and forming communities of practice is "trust". You need to have trust in the judgments of the people with whom you are connecting. Trust is the basis of all human interactions. Boone in Stuckey and Arkell (2006 p 7) states, "I don’t want raw data, I don’t want information, I want the judgments of people I can trust".
  • Ownership – Fundamental to the whole "revolution" is the fact that individuals can now ‘own’ their own space on the Web – moving from being consumers to becoming contributors and collaborators. Sites that allow individuals to create and maintain their own collections of photos, videos, music and bookmarks online are examples of this. Personalization – the ability to customize the interface of many of these sites is an example of the personalized approach. But personalization goes a lot deeper with this, and includes the ability to actually ‘construct’ the way in which information is represented, where it comes from, how it is used etc. Participation – the move from simply publishing or participation is another hallmark of this software. Even blogs, while being a personal publishing tool, allow for participation – at one level through the comments that can be left, and at another through the communities of interest that develop. Aggregation – the availability of software that makes use of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) demonstrates how information from one source can so easily be integrated into another. Sites that allow individuals to create their personal aggregations of news feeds, blog links, and other feeds, such as NetVibes and PageFlakes, are good examples of this. Other sites such as Technorati illustrate how easily communities of interest can be formed through the aggregation of people’s blog entries.

gamification work game time

shared by Irene V. on 26 May 12 - No Cached
  • Lately the product du jour appears to be a new method of gamification, turning the Web into a series of achievements and arbitrary goals. But the question I want to ask is: Do we really want the entire Web to be a game?
  • Case in point: WordPress. I had never noticed this before beginning at PandoDaily, but WordPress doesn’t seem to recognize the difference between someone that doesn’t know how to use a blogging system and someone using their VIP, this-is-serious-business to do some actual writing. The first time I posted to PandoDaily I was greeted with a little sidebar that screamed “Congratulations, you’ve made your first post! Next goal: Make five posts!” with a little star next to it, which made me feel like I had just learned the alphabet and impressed my kindergarten teacher. Why does something like Fitocracy work, when something like WordPress’ hand-holding doesn’t?
  • I chose to play a game.

  • When Larry Page took over at Google, the first thing he did was to explain to all employees how to run effective meetings. Google's new online newsletter, Thisnk Quarterly, shared the basic elements of a successful meeting. These basic rules are well-known to all of us, however, are very often disregarded by managers. Patrick Leoncini, the author of the book "Death by Meeting", thinks that people "have failed as a culture because we've come to accept that meetings are just inherently bad". Leoncini suggests breaking meetings up in four formats.  Steve Roesler came up with 5 meetings traps and ways to fix them. Not everyone is able to run an effective meeting, however, everyone can learn how to do it by attending a workshop or a course. If you are a leader, your meeting professionalism is directly linked to your success in the company. A meeting is an expensive process and should only be used to get results.   Do you know how to beat the Meeting Monster? Lifehack does. If you spend too much time in meetings - follow these rules and get the Meeting Monster under control.

community resilience adaptation

shared by Irene V. on 09 Aug 12 - Cached
  • A number of other sections in the site follow-on naturally from a consideration of resilience. Two useful tools for resilience-building in complex socio-ecological systems are structured scenarios and adaptation and adaptive management. People use scenarios to envision alternative futures and the pathways by which they might be reached. By envisioning a range of alternative futures and actions that might achieve or avoid certain outcomes, communities can identify and choose resilience-building policies. Active adaptive management can be used as an approach that views policy as a set of experiments designed to reveal processes that build or sustain resilience. It requires, and facilitates, a social context with flexible and open institutions and multi-level governance systems that allows for social learning.
  • The resilience perspective embraces the dynamic character of communities and human-ecosystem interactions and sees multiple potential pathways within them. It provides a powerful way of understanding how a community’s positive response to change can be strengthened and supported.
  • A high level of social capital means that they have access to good information and communication networks in times of difficulty, and can call upon a wide range of resources

  • Distributed workforces During the next year, Richey thinks the set-up of many companies will be atypical. “A new generation of young designers and developers entered the workforce in a time of lingering adversity. With a variety of technologies at their fingertips, many creatives have learned to find jobs, network, and acquire new skills from their bedrooms, the corner café, or a destination around the world,” she explains. “As the economy improves, many designers and developers won’t be willing to trade in their work style and relative freedom for a cubicle space. With a growing number of high-profile tech companies embracing a mobile and distributed workforce, employers looking for top-notch talent may need to re-evaluate their workplace culture.”
