Automating the Coaching Request - Working Out Loud

What am I forgetting? My #WOL #WorkingOutLoud on Automating the Coaching Request #LnD #Process #Automating #MS365 #MicroSoft #MSFlow

Our internal coaching network currently has a convoluted, manual process for processing a request for coaching. We, like many others, are tightening belts and therefore have limits around what technology we can leverage in applying a bit of automation. Therefore, I am now exploring how we can make best use of the various apps and tools available via Microsoft365, which is the current operating…

Agile future - but what if they need a workplace?

Post-pandemic we are looking at an Agile future - but what if they need a workplace?

Almost immediately after it was suggested that during this pandemic those who can should work from home, people were talking about the benefits. All those lovely things that make working in an agile manner the best thing in the world: less commuting, flexible working hours, less synchronous conversations, etc. A recent Donald Clark Plan B blogcovers several of the potential benefits that this new…

Tetrading - Mastering my Personal Knowledge 4

Another challenge from @hjarche causing some thought-in-process posting: Tetrading - Mastering my Personal Knowledge 4

This is a thought-in-process post (Working Out Loud?) so feel free to provide me with some ideas, opinions and guidance.

Harold Jarche’s (@hjarche) Personal Knowledge Mastery learning programme has been asking us to think about any current or new media (medium) we use, or are due to start using. Then, to apply Marshall McLuhan’s tetrad of media effects, which was first seen in Laws of Media(19…

Sooo Lazy! - Mastering my Personal Knowledge 3

Sooo Lazy! - Mastering my Personal Knowledge 3 More musings on my #PersonalKnowledgeMastery journey with @hjarche

As I continue to progress through Harold Jarche’s (@hjarche) Personal Knowledge Mastery learning programme I am having to admit to myself that I have a major failing when it comes to the Sense part of the Seek>Sense>Share framework. I am sooo lazy!

Dave: “I need some information on this topic.”

Search engine: “Here’s the headline from a bias publication written in 1976”

Stop the noise - Mastering my Personal Knowledge 1

Stop the noise – Mastering my Personal Knowledge 1

I recently started on @hjarche‘s Personal Knowledge Mastery learning programme and, as hoped, it has re-energised my desire to share. One of the tasks this week, was to focus on Sensemaking which, although I may do it internally, is something I quite often fail to show when sharing to a wider audience.

As I scroll through my Twitter feed, something that does sometimes annoy me is the repetition…

A strategy to reach Strategic

A strategy to reach Strategic

  Following more and more calls to provide them to the wider workforce, my employer asked me to attend training on three separate Psychometric tools, the last of which I finished a couple of weeks ago. Due to scheduling and the academic financial year-end, I had to complete all three courses in the space of one month. Apart from my dreams now being dominated by distribution curves and large…

Shhh, don't tell everyone but I'm #WOL

Shhh, don’t tell everyone but I’m #WOL

As part of my new found commitment to engaging more on-line, I thought a good choice for development would be my blogging. Looking at my WordPress account you will see a sparodical mess of content with no consistency of topic, length or validity and if I were share access to my drafts you would find nearly 20 false starts spanning a few years. If I’m going to be serious about my reinvigoration a…

SoMe 2: the returning

SoMe 2: the returning

I have been away from the wider social media environment for quite a while. Oh, I may have sent the occaisional random tweet, liked a few things and responded when needed but mainly staying connected with my family/close friends via the book of many faces has been the limit of my digital engagement (and not a great deal of that).

Back in April I realised how much of an impact this absence was…

Please, tell me a story!

Please, tell me a story!

I am a voracious reader of fiction, capable of ploughing through a 400 page book in a day (if on my own and not doing anything else) and have a tendency to remember the content for a very long time. Research and academic texts* on the other hand have always been a struggle, the words running together as I try to transfer the knowledge from the densely filled page to my struggling-to-stay-awake…

Change the game

Suggestion for using an established tabletop game for learning, prompted by a recent post #ldinsight conversation

On 29/05/2015 I had to leave the #ldinsight [1] Twitter chat early, so nearly missed a conversation involving @lellielesley @skanedog @dds180. They were talking about tabletop games and how to use them in learning and development. Luckily, I found chance to revisit the tweets and was able to contribute to the thread before everyone moved on to other discussions.

Obviously, the numerous co-op…
