A green cleaning program shows
your concern for your employees,
your building occupants, the visitors

I've been writing management myths for the last 18 months. Here are some of my favorites: 100% utilization, promote the best technical person into management, no time for training, "work smarter," the myth of the expert, objective ranking systems work and are objective and several more.
I told stories with each of these myths.

Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for distributed computing & big data processing with APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R. This tutorial will briefly introduce PySpark (the Python API for Spark) with some hands-on-exercises combined with a quick introduction to Spark's core concepts. We will cover the obligatory wordcount example which comes in with every big-data tutorial, as well as discuss Spark's unique methods for handling node failure and other relevant internals. Then we will briefly look at how to access some of Spark's libraries (like Spark SQL & Spark ML) from Python. While Spark is available in a variety of languages this workshop will be focused on using Spark and Python together.

Despite spending vast amounts of time and money on employee engagement, engagement metrics remain stagnant. What if, instead of obsessing about how to increase employee engagement, how to improve and position your employer brand, or how to fight the war for talent, you instead put serious effort into thinking about how to improve and position your employees?

Intrapreneurship & Innovation
10th - 14th of September 2013
3. “Not all those who wander are lost.”
With these wise words of J. R. R. Tolkien we want to cordially invite you to a journey to
Finland, the land of thousands of lakes, Angry Birds and Sibelius,
as well as top notch innovation, intrapreneurship and leadership.

What is it that we don’t know but want to
find about on Intrapreneurship &
Innovation?
How might we encourage more
intrapreneurial activity within ourselves
and thus our organizations?
What is it that I want to change in my work
and my organization as the new working
year starts after the summer holidays?
Why? How will I do that?

Our Philosophy
Journey is the reward. The one who is ready to slow down and stop will get most out
of the journey. Learning is a journey. If we enjoy the journey we are not in a hurry.
The in-between is what matters. Like Liher has said “I feel that every time I go to a
new place I discover something new. But something that you cannot find in a book, in
internet, not even someone can tell you. You have to experience it, and feel it.”
It’s good to have a goal but we also need an open mind for emerging things, which
may end up being more meaningful than the original goal.
As Peter Senge says, the goal of a learning journey is not to see something, but to see
each other.
What we don’t know matters more than what we know. We need action and dialogue
in a proper balance.
Be ready for an adventure and expect the unexpected. Trust your intuition and the
team you travel with. Listen and look around. Smile and wonder.

15. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than
by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch

Vocabulary
Dialogue In Dialogue, one speaks and others listen. Dialogue is a reflective group activity which starts when we speak from our
hearts, meaning we honestly share how we think and feel right then. For more ideas about dialogue see this blog post.
Check-in Check-In is a metaphor that we use for a dialogue that happens in the beginning of a meeting or a process. It's kind of
like tuning mentally into the present moment and situation. Check-In, according to Peter Senge, is simply answering
question "What's up?" but sometimes it may have a more specific question, too. It's kind of the same thing as in a jazz
band when in the beginning the musicians tune their instruments to be in the same tone.
Workshop By workshop we mean an interactive working session. It is not a lecture, but it can also include a little bit of lecturing, or
sharing stories.
Company visit Company visit is a visit to an organization with the idea to learn from their ways of working and potentially together
create best next practices together.
Birth-giving Birth giving is a session where the participants give birth to new knowledge. Sometimes it includes loads of frustration.
Team Academy Team Academy or Tiimiakatemia is a special unit of team entrepreneurship in Jyväskylä University of applied science. It's
special model that combines running a cooperative company, having 8hrs a dialogue a week, and reading latest
business books has been adapted internationally by many unversitities. It's a business, or life, school without teachers or
exams, but a real customer projects and team learning.
Sauna Sauna, a room with hot temperature is a traditional Finnish place for relaxing and refreshing your body and soul.
Solo Experience
Vision Quest
From Wikipedia: A vision quest is a rite of passage in some Native American cultures. The ceremony of the Vision Quest
is one of the most universal and ancient means to find spiritual guidance and purpose. A Vision Quest can provide deep
understanding of one's life purpose. The idea is to spend some time alone in nature - in our case it is going to be few
hours. During the time you can reflect about your life and work in peace. This insight, typically in the form of a dream of
Vision, relates directly to their purpose and destiny in life.
Motorola
-reflection
Back in the 80s at the ICT-company Motorola they had struggled with the long project reports that were hard to create
and boring to read. They decided to make an easy but effective way to report projects. It's made of four questions: 1.
What went well? 2. What went poorly? 3. What did I learn? 4. What will I do differently next time? This is a good way to
reflect in the end of a project or a learning process.
