Head shoulders knees and toes by Norman Mphake of PEISAJanet Thomson
Presentation to the EduWeek 2016 conference by Norman Mphake from the Physical Education Institute of South Africa,as part of the Early Childhood Development thread. This presentation aligned closely with SchoolNet's Learning Gains through Play project and was entitled “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Norman explained how important it is for children to have early positive experiences of physical activity. Another of his main points was the relationship between motor development and cognitive development in ECD, which is one of the focal points of our Learning Gains Research when using Xbox Kinect games.
Realising human potential is all about understanding the effects of change on a person and the negative impact on employee engagement.

A business is only as fast and agile as its slowest feedback loop. Impediments clog feedback loops just like cholesterol clogs veins. Stacia helps to identify, plan a strategy for, and remove impediments at any level.
This presentation goes into details about impediments, how to identify them, how to create a strategy for, escalate, and ultimately - if not removing them entirely - moving the needle to improve the situation. Apologies for the outdated styling - it's on my backlog to improve it!

Trends and research all tell us to start managing people smarter. Times have changed tremendously from the industrial age. Make sure your organization and leaders stay transparent and build trust for the best return from your #1 asset.
The itSMF Higher Education SIG invites you to attend an online presentation by John Borwick, Manager at Higher Education IT Management, LLC, discussing how to build an organizational capability with practical considerations, and stay energized as the change agent.
How do you cope, and excel, when you know how your IT department needs to evolve but no one else seems to understand? The process of introducing an organization to a new way of doing things can be very frustrating and uncomfortable.
This presentation is a pragmatic complement to improvement frameworks such as the ITIL CSI model and John Kotter’s 8-step change model. This webinar focuses on what it’s like to be the person pushing for change, and how to build short-term wins, “anticipated pains,” and feedback loops to successfully “ride the maturity model wave” from one level to the next.
Speaker Biography: John Borwick has worked in higher education for over 10 years–principally at Wake Forest University from 2003 to 2012, where he was a systems administrator, team lead, assistant director for data delivery, associate director for continual service improvement, director of service management, and finally director of the portfolio management office (including service management and project management).
A Great Idea Isn't Enough for Successful Change - FinalKaiNexus
Presented by Mark Jaben, M.D., author of the book "Free the Brain"
Maybe you had expected more. Maybe it went ok, but you’d like it to go smoother. Maybe its gone well and you want to understand about how that happened for next time. Maybe you’d like change to be less of a hassle.
If so, this webinar is for you.
As a result of this webinar, you will understand:
Change is a verb, not a noun
The fundamental unit of change
Why your belief about what’s going on is not the result of what you think.
Why conflict is what you should expect and what you actually need for successful change
The choice to resist or engage is not an analytical one, so why approach it that way.
We are not wired to resist; we are wired to succeed.
An ideal change must work AND be workable; judging each uses different functions in the brain.

False news - false truth: tips & tricks how to avoid themSigma Software
Since the beginning of the COVID-19, the spread of information about the pandemic has been much faster than the virus itself. Facebook(link is external) labeled nearly 50 million pieces of news about COVID-19 as misinformation in April, while Twitter(link is external) marked more than 1.5 million users for spreading false information and displaying manipulative behaviors. Find out how dangerous false news is and what steps you can take to avoid them.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
