Dan, I completely agree. It is interesting that you mention mandating. In my experience it takes a certain mindset and culture to not want to 'mandate' everything. In an environment where there are hi... More

Great contribution. I do have a challenge however - if we are allocating a budget to informal and social learning aren't we in danger of 'managing' this type of learning? I am not suggesting that ... More

Not me because the higher you climb ... at times like these ... the lower you fall. Are there any examples of organisations where all staff earn the same/similar amount including the CEO? More

Great contribution! I agree - learning does not have to cost anything but relies on curators/architects to pull this together. I do not think however that this is solely the role of the L&D; Profession... More

Why are people less adaptable in their working lives than they are in their personal lives? People are responsible/accountable for choices and decisions that only affect their personal reputation in ... More

A simple hack may be to temporarily swap Middle Managers between departments followed by a peer review, a bit like 'Wife Swap.' More

Reading through the questions on the 'Embedding Adaptability' Tool, there is a principle that should be applied to several of the answers and that is PULL. It is a marketing technique that relies on ... More

If we hadn't re-invented the wheel we would still be relying on stone-carved cylinders (a la Flinstone's style). And we would be reliant fully on 'experts' instead of giving innovation a go for oursel... More

What I took away: 1. De-castrophise failure - a simple way of achieving that is through the use of three simple questions: 'What worked well?', 'What could have gone better?' and 'What would we do ... More

One reservation I have about the pilot work (sorry) is that much of the discussions so far are showing the interdependencies which all make the bigger 'system crash'. Can we really create pilots big e... More

Dashboards are great tools for collating and making visible past data. The use of Infographics however can encourage more horizon-scanning activities and proactively help HR (and other services) prepare for that which is still to come.

With further economic uncertainty in the forthcoming years, where is it best to place...

If necessity is the mother of invention, why do so many organisations chuck money at it?

Innovate on a shoestring and you will surprise yourself with what you come up with!

Non-compliance can be viewed as a ‘problem’ resulting in solutions which are hoping to resolve that ‘problem’. From a more constructive point of view, non-compliance can be seen as a gift of ‘valuable feedback’ to help us achieve the best possible outcome for both the customer and...

With more accountability sitting at the front line at times like these, should this shift in accountability and risk not be reflected in the wages of those at the top of the organisation?

I appreciate this hack is as much about semantics than it is about intention. It just shows the power of words used within HR.

To me having an appraisal is being appraised by another rather than being self-directed. It too focusses on past performance rather than present and future ambitions....

All these are engrained into our vocabulary, but should be banished from the workplace:

'Knowledge is Power' - replace it with 'Knowledge Sharing is Power'

'Don't reinvent the Wheel' - If humans hadn't reinvented it we would still be relying on stone-carved wheels
