Able to see the big picture from the balcony is not an easy task, especially when managers are busy with day-to-day operations. The balcony‟s view plays an important role in the process of lifting a manager in a leadership position. If for a moment you compare the day-to-day operational to a dance floor, you will notice that while spending the whole evening to the dance floor, you will be aware of what happens in your immediate vicinity. Much energy will be spent on dancing and avoiding other people dancing.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

members of an organization through intentions and actions

What may cause failure rather than success?

and what is difficult to copy is not so much

Editor's Notes
hauptaufbau
Discussion questionsensemaking and perspecitve
The Management 1.0 is primarily based upon two major tools "Command and Control". It originated while managers were confronted with problem of converting independent farmers into productive industrial labor. The work on the farm was not strictly regulated by the clock while everything on a industrial production was made run on a clock to synchronize all the production activities. The "Command and Control" model of organizing was borrowed from the older organizing principle of organizing armies to fight wars.
= ability to locate new ideas and to incorporate them into an organization‘s processesAbility to evaluate and utilize external knowledge sources depends on prior internal knowledge (skills, language, knowledge)While absorptive capacity certainly begins with individuals, it is the organizational ability to acquire and apply new knowledge that is of primary interesta diverse background provides a more robust basis for learning because it increases the prospect that incoming information will relate to what is already known.A firms absorptive capacity depends on communication with external environment as well as between subunits depends on the individuals who stand at the interface of eitherthe firm and the external environment or at the interface betweensubunits within the firm „gate-keeping“ or „boundary-spanning“-rolesAnd depended on the individudals to whom the gatekeeper transfers the information knowledge base of the group importantIf too high overlap of internal expertise might result in „not-invented-here-syndrom“
ExternalMore permeable in public sectorBonus of personal contacts and professional linksSyntactic, semantic & pragmatic approach to knowledge transferSyntactic: transfer of data through information technologySemantic: translation of language & creation of shared meaningPragmatic transforming knowledge through political efforts and negotiation of practices
Point out how important implementation (execution) is…
The costs of strategic planning:Resources consumed in planningLeadership attention is diverted to strategy and away from fixing operational problems
Organizational sensemaking as the core of failed attempts - The extent of such resistance is predictedto be positively related with the extent to which change recipients need to revise organizational meaning
Key results (sensemaking efforts are continuous)
Since strategic change depends on the cognition of organizational employees, the impact of managerial sensegiving efforts is measured by their effect on employee sensemakingdestructive aspects of reorganizing that must take place if change is to be successful
the literature broadly suggests that top management sensegiving often plays the central role in guiding planned change efforts and directs the employee sensemaking processes constituting the shared interpretive schemeWe require a shift in the cognitive template for successful change
For us it is important that you understand the implications and resulting effects of organizational change and it levels to overcome the perceived barriers in order to successfully induce change… thus, we focus on the framework and will give you a short overview of the study itself
A few slides ago we heard that we need to have sensebreaking…what can we now conclude?
the success of strategic change will dependnot only on an organization’s ability to implement new structures and processes, but also onthe organization’s ability to convey the new mission and priorities to its many stakeholders
