3. But none of this is new…
It ain’t what you do
It’s the way that you do it
That’s what gets results

The original famous phrase of Gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts“
Should have been translated as
"The whole is other than the sum of the parts“
4. SITUATION
In today’s world the most successful people are highly skilled and able to
perform well in many different circumstances with different people.
COMPLICATION
Traditional approaches to learning and assessment used for acquiring
knowledge and skills are inappropriate for developing the behaviours that
successful people need.
SOLUTION
Move from formal courses that assess one-off, isolated demonstrations of skill
and knowledge to Point of Learning systems, where competence frameworks
are used to observe, develop and measure behaviours in real-time, in different
circumstances, within communities of practice.
Character
The increasing importance of employee behaviour

A Smart Nation’s
economic development
and social cohesion
rests on the opportunity
for every citizen to
personalise the way
they build their value,
realise their potential
and interact with others.
Smart Nations
provide strategies
for developing both
skills and behaviours
which enable citizens
to build learning
communities across
all aspects of the
economy and society.
8. BEHAVIOURS
Waking up to the need to develop Non-Cognitive skills
Communities of practice implies the need to develop behaviours
9. Skills enable people.
They are capacities to function.
Greater levels of skill foster social inclusion and
promote economic and social mobility.
They generate economic productivity and create social
well-being.
Skills give agency to people to shape their lives, to
create new skills and to flourish.
IMPACT
The need to develop both Cognitive and Non-Cognitive skills

Descriptors of the observable
granules
Communities of practice build the bank
of exemplars as part of the process
Major topic areas that define the
framework
Topic areas may be skills or
behaviours or both
Statements that describe natural
groups of observable actions
Success is reported at this level
Statements that describe the
observable actions that are
captured
Actions are planned, carried out and
credited at this level
11. LENGO Behaviour Frameworks
LENGO frameworks organise behaviours in a way they can be navigated and awarded as easily as using an oyster
card on the London Underground.
Frameworks have been written for the development of behaviours in the following areas:
• Teachers
• School leaders
• School students
• Call centre operators
• Care home nursing staff
• Dentists
• Flight Crew
• Finance sector
Building the LENGO behaviour framework library is in continuous development.
12. Two major elements
A collaborative space where
individuals manage their learning
and work with others within
communities of practice
Capturing evidence of actions
and learning, whenever and
wherever it happens

Debate constructively, decide
definitively and support actively
I give people time to reflect on new ideas
I allow people to express how they feel

All concerned can express their views
I make sure decisions are clear

When the learner captures

for level 3 actions, they are
credited as achieving a

I then realized the theory explains different attitudes to work- and it could be used to understand how to deal with people as individuals in their roles.
