Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Presentation from the final session a the CORE retreat - thinking about change, transformation, the future and how we as a company can be positioned to serve our community and clients to prepare them for their future and not our past.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education in today's world, the ability to navigate complex change is crucial for leaders and organizations. Leading such change requires building the buy-in of stakeholders, address roadblocks hindering progress, and fostering a culture of experimentation that embraces calculated risks and encourages learning from failures. This workshop introduces the concept of transformative leadership, introducing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to guide leaders and organizations as they tackle complex challenges where no obvious solution exists.

The Power of ABCD and Results-Based Accountability for Greater Impact and Res...Clear Impact
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a place-based framework pioneered by John McKnight and Jody Kretzmann, founders of the ABCD Institute at Northwestern University. ABCD builds on the gifts (skills, experiences, knowledge, and passions) of local residents, the power of local associations, and the supportive functions of local institutions to build more sustainable communities for the future.
This webinar is for participants interested in discovering how the frameworks of Asset-Based Community Development and Results-Based Accountability can be used together to help build stronger, safer, healthier communities and neighborhoods. You will learn how to build the relationships and accountability necessary to unlock the gifts of the residents, associations and organizations in a community. During this webinar you will hear stories of effective impact through the power of Asset-Based Community Development and Results-Based Accountability.
Webinar topics include:
Introduction to ABCD and RBA – Definitions & Principles
Examples of ABCD and RBA in action
Why place-based strategies and community engagement are critical
The roles of residents in building a stronger community
The new role of institutions – How institutions can use all their assets to build a stronger community
Tools for agencies – Leading by stepping back
Asset Mapping – Discover-Ask-Connect – From Mapping to Mobilizing

Incept Education has developed the Education Leadership Dialogue, a model that provides exciting 2 day intensive programs for professional learning and futuring processes. It is built on the understanding that education leadership needs to be visible and purposeful across all school and university contexts and that effective learning leadership necessarily involves personnel from across all education roles within institutions.
The Dialogues integrate research-based education provocations with sophisticated teaching and learning analytic tools in an effective change management sequence to create a unique and powerful strategic futuring experience. Participants are supported by experienced facilitators to make visible their bespoke priorities, practice realities and desired teaching and learning outcomes. The Dialogue readies individuals, teams and whole institutions for enhanced practice and outcomes. The Dialogues can also be tailored to specific themes.

Voice of the Parent: How Schools can Engage with ParentsQualtrics
Although there is clear, consistent evidence from the last five decades to show that learner outcomes (attendance, behaviours, school retention, academic achievement and wellbeing) improve when parents are engaged with their child's learning, there are challenges around what this engagement looks like and how to engage with parents in a productive manner.
The question remains: How can schools engage with parents in ways that will benefit student learning outcomes while simultaneously developing mutually acceptable and beneficial parent-school relationships?
In this webinar Qualtrics and CIRCLE discuss this question and explore how schools can use surveys to build a voice of parent program to strengthen parent-school relationships.

In order to reach that goal, participants decided
that action teams that will set measurable goals
need to be established in the following areas:
1. School Readiness and childhood success (Pre-K
through 3rd grade)
2. Aligning education to careers (Gr. 4-12)
3. Self sufficiency (young adults -> retirement age)
4. Balancing economic development and
environmental stewardship
5. Health and wellness

12. Values Required
of Action Team Members
Accountability Engagement
Outcomes Ownership
Neutrality Leverage
13. Values Required
of Action Team Members
Accountability
◦ In order to expect a community to hold itself
accountable to an outcome, they must have faith that
the action team demonstrated clear and unbiased ways
of developing those expectations
◦ The only way a member of an action can demonstrate
that is to be seen as striving to be neutral to an agenda,
activity or program, while showing a laser-like focus on
the outcome.
14. Values Required
of Action Team Members
Engagement
◦ While some on an action team won’t be able to be
completely ―without agenda‖ the team as a whole
should model how all engagement with the process
should be valued – I.E., it is owned by the community
and not on individual, organization or sector.
◦ Their presence encourages others to be involved and
thus creates a leverage as they bring new resources in
time and dollars to the solution.
15. Change Model:
Working Together in New Ways

16. Action Team Role
Determine Target Outcome (Desired State)
=> ensure that it ACHIEVES to the
community aspiration
Develop a clear MEASURE(s)
=> ―How will we know?‖
Focus on ALIGNMENT of Action Teams, as well
as, community organizations.
Outline/Implement STRATEGIES (Structures &
Processes) to achieve Outcome
=> Does not create programs!

Prepare to match Resources required with
actions needed / Budget
Make Decisions with Outcome Focus
Lead thru Measurement and Accountability
19. Community Solutions
Are often about Community Systems
Are often Cross-Organizational
Are often Cross-Sectoral
Require Community Ownership
The Solution should frame the activities =>
not the other way around

23. A3 Thinking
Was developed as part of the
Toyota management toolbox
Was developed out of Edwards
Deming’s Plan-Do-Check-
Adjust cycle
This is the basis for the Baldrige
quality improvement process.
24. Practical problem solving with
A3s
Answer the questions:
◦ Who are we?
◦ What did we do?
◦ What has hindered us in doing
better?
◦ What does a better future look
like?
◦ How do we get to a better future?
◦ How do we know when we’ve
arrived?
◦ What do we do then?
26. A3 Thinking
The name comes from a paper
size—the metric equivalent of
11 x 17‖ paper.
The principle is that the entire
story must fit on a single sheet
of paper.
The A3 is the narrative of the
story
27. A3 Thinking
The Narrative (Part One)
◦ What are we trying to do?
◦ Why? Background?
◦ How will we know?
The Narrative (Part Two)
◦ What is the current condition?
◦ What are the potential barriers or
levers? What is their expected
impact?
28. A3 Thinking
The Narrative (Part Three)
◦ What are our target conditions?
◦ What is our hypothesis? How do
we address those levers/barriers?
The Narrative (Part Four)
◦ How do we implement change?
What/Who/When
◦ How do we know that it works?
◦ What do we do next?
