This document discusses the judging process for the IDEAS2011 Global Challenge. It introduces 85 judges who will review up to 6 proposals each and evaluate the innovation, feasibility, impact, and alignment with IDEAS. Judges will provide recommendations that will be interpreted by organizers to assign awards to the top selections. The process will be primarily online, so pacing, coordination, and follow-up will be pressure points. A sample timeline is provided, and judges are encouraged to communicate as a cohesive team to navigate the process.

What Works Practice Learning Circle: using appreciative inquiry to facilitate...Research in Practice
This document describes a What Works Practice Learning Circle model that uses appreciative inquiry to facilitate learning from successful social work situations. The model brings together social work practice theories and pedagogical theories to form a learning cycle based on reflection, strengths, and peer learning. Practitioners discuss a successful case example using prompts to explore different perspectives and how context impacted the situation. The goal is to identify lessons learned and actions needed to replicate success. Participants provided positive feedback on using the circle and discussed taking lessons forward in their own practice.ELEC2017 - Jan Riezebos - The Heart of Lean Education
This document discusses applying lean principles to education by focusing on learning as the core process. It reviews literature that defines lean in terms of respect, customer value, and flow. Learning involves cognitive, affective, and regulative activities that vary between students. Stages of learning knowledge and control can be analyzed as a process. Components like reproduction, meaning-directed, and application-directed learning depend on previous knowledge and skills. Variation in students may affect processing time, activities, and assessment. Personalized education requires planning learning processes at different levels. Tools like KLUNGA use scrum methods to support personalized, lean education by identifying student needs and clustering signals to facilitate planning.

Ideate
The document discusses solutions to help recent graduates transition from school to work. It outlines various parameters to consider for solutions, such as obvious solutions, modifications, solutions if budget or laws of nature weren't limited. The best ideas discussed are changing course structure to include more practical training, providing simulation training of organizations during academics to prepare students, and time management training since recent graduates struggle balancing personal and professional life. The major problem is students feeling pressure when joining organizations due to differences between academic and work culture, so solutions aim to expose students to organizational rules and expectations while in school.

NTLT 2013 - Jill Clark and Trish Baker - Taking the stress out of group asses...
This document discusses approaches to assessing group work fairly. It notes common issues like social loafing and perceived unfairness. Group tasks should be open-ended, complex and require interaction. Assessment should consider both the product and process, and use methods like peer evaluation. An example integrates assessment of professionalism, project outputs, team management, and individual reflection. A fair strategy assesses both group and individual contributions through the project process and outcomes. The goal is not perfect fairness but to make assessment fairer through combined and reflective evaluation methods.
Problem solving
This document provides an overview of problem solving techniques. It discusses identifying problems by analyzing the environment, recognizing issues, and defining them. Some key problem solving techniques discussed include brainstorming, decision making, focus groups, and SWOT analysis. Brainstorming allows for rapid generation of ideas without criticism. Focus groups help get feedback on concepts from stakeholders and build participation. The document provides guidance on applying various analytical approaches to structure problem identification and solution finding.
Optimising Talent Talent in Uncertain Times
The document discusses optimizing employee talent and engagement in uncertain times. It notes that engaged employees increase customer loyalty, productivity, and returns to shareholders. Employee engagement is defined as employees being committed to and advocating for their organization while investing discretionary effort to help it succeed. However, engagement statistics show that many employees are disengaged and international engagement levels are low. To improve engagement, organizations must address what is broken, get recruitment right, take ownership of engagement, and recognize that engagement equals organizational engagement which requires career engagement and personal engagement as well. Leaders must treat all employees and customers as individuals and promote the company's values.
Presentation CEBMa EBM Case example: Novartis
1. The document discusses applying an evidence-based approach to solving organizational problems using Novartis as a case example.
2. The first step in evidence-based management is to clearly define the problem being addressed. Often, problems presented are vague and unclear.
3. The case focuses on people's performance in the workplace. Key assumptions about factors like feedback, meaningful work, and recognition were examined based on scientific literature.
4. Evidence showed these factors can positively impact performance when implemented appropriately. Novartis then applied these findings by developing tools and training, and conducting a randomized study to measure effects.
Facilitation
The document discusses facilitation and describes it as a fluid process using various tools and techniques to empower participants, invite collaboration, and increase commitment to group solutions in order to maximize productivity. An effective facilitator guides a group to their own solutions by listening 80% of the time, building bridges, engaging all styles and ideas, and acting as a "ringmaster". In contrast, an ineffective facilitator is rigid, forces answers, talks too much, and only engages those who are similar.

Adapting Test Teams to Organizational Power Structures
Scapegoats, spin-doctors, white knights, and sycophants—have you found your test team playing these roles? Organizations, both large and small, often have distinct cultures and power structures with significant but insidious impact on how individual testers and teams are expected to operate. Sometimes the difference between doing what sponsors and stakeholders request and doing what is really needed becomes blurred. John Hazel helps you learn how to recognize the cultural characteristics of different types of software development teams, and how they drive expectations for the test team. Understand the decision-making dynamics and the perceived value of information across different organizational power structures, and the pitfalls that await unwary test teams. Develop strategies to adapt your team’s approach away from compliance and execution and toward discovery and dialogue. John shares his experiences across a spectrum of power structures, field-tested methods, and tools to help your team tailor their testing practice to add value while maintaining objectivity and impact.

This research aimed to contribute to the professional development of community learning and development (CLD) practitioners. It found that early and mid-career CLD practitioners learn primarily through their work with communities, collaboration with colleagues, and reflection on their experiences. Key factors that affect learning included opportunities to broaden their experience beyond their job duties and working alongside more experienced colleagues. The research identified several recommendations to further support CLD practitioners' continuing professional development, such as enhancing collegiality, sharing good practices, and developing appropriate training for CLD managers.

So where does Australian organisational learning stand on the world stage. Are we aspiring for excellence or just cruising? Is the tall poppy syndrome at work? The Australian academic sector (Universities and Schools) has a structured and focused approach to defining what excellence in learning means and how to achieve it. This approach seems to be missing in organisational and corporate learning. Maybe we are running so fast that we may never stop to improve our running technique. We talk to an experienced panel that architect and manage Learning in their organisations to deliver business results. We will ask what Learning excellence means to them and how they plan to get there

The document summarizes the MIT Global Challenge, an annual competition that awards up to $10,000 in development grants to student teams working on international development projects. Since 2001, 78 teams have been awarded over $300,000 to work in 28 countries on challenges in various fields. The competition process involves an initial scope statement and development grant submission in November, a full proposal submission in January, and a final presentation and judging session in April where awards are given out. Resources for the competition are also listed.
Throw it Against the IDEAS Wall @ MIT
We held our first ever Throw it Against the IDEAS Wall - a big brainstorming session to discuss the futures worth creating, the problems worth solving and the ideas worth spreading. We're hoping this is a starting point for more.

Zaca tech2011slides
The document summarizes an education project in Mexico that aims to improve the livelihoods of subsistence farmers through low-cost agricultural technologies. The project focuses on a poor region in Mexico where 300 rural farming communities face issues like poverty, lack of access to information, and low crop yields. The proposed solution is to build small-scale biodigester-greenhouse systems near schools for farmers and students, to generate biogas for cooking and heating greenhouses to increase and diversify crop production year-round.

Safewater
1) Over 1.8 million people, mostly children under 5, die each year from water-borne diseases due to contaminated water sources in many communities. Current water testing supplies are too complicated, expensive, and require resources not available in remote areas.
2) Safe Water World has developed field-ready kits for microbial water testing that are low-cost, easy to use, portable, and do not require incubation. The kits include various tests and materials packaged for use in remote areas.
3) The kits improve upon current testing methods by being lower cost and easier to use while still providing accurate results. Safe Water World aims to empower communities to test their own water and seek improvements, and help organizations identify contaminated water
Wattcampaign
The document discusses The Watt Campaign, a holistic program that empowers students to lead energy efficiency campaigns in their schools. It combines guidance, community, measurement, and incentives to initiate and sustain efficiency programs. The Watt Campaign's tools and resources help students start with a "Vampire Energy Hunt" and continue long-term efficiency efforts. If successful, such behavioral programs could achieve energy savings of 10-30% with no capital costs, freeing up funds that could be used to hire teachers or buy textbooks and computers.
Zimba
A new product called the ZimbaPlus system aims to provide safe drinking water from wells to individuals by addressing issues with existing chlorine dispensers. The ZimbaPlus system includes a small storage tank with a tap that holds 5 liters of treated water, allowing individuals to access clean water in small volumes without the inconvenience and waste of typical high-flow dispensers.
Lowcostcurriculum
This document outlines a proposal to develop low-cost math and science lesson plans for blind students in developing countries. The curriculum aims to be implemented cheaply using locally available materials, in order to give blind students access to education. Examples of adaptations include cutting ridges into rulers and cardboard into grids that students can feel, to allow graphing functions using push-pins. The proposal involves examining curricula from schools for the blind, adapting materials, testing sections in summer camps, and distributing the curriculum internationally to help blind students succeed.
Innobox
The document describes the InnoBox Science and Engineering Kit, which aims to address educational needs in South Africa. It contains over 50 science and engineering experiments covering various disciplines like biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The experiments are designed to be conducted in resource-limited environments using supplies provided. An initial implementation will take place at a school in South Africa to assess the InnoBox and enhance its sustainability and contents. The goal is to provide a multidisciplinary STEM education using a low-cost, portable kit.
Foragetracking
The document summarizes a project that tracks the routes of informal recyclers ("catadores") in São Paulo using GPS to understand their foraging strategies. This information could then be turned into an online platform to help catadores formalize and scale up their recycling services by improving coordination between cooperatives and establishing relationships of trust with companies and residents. The goal is to help catadores take advantage of a new Brazilian law recognizing them and leverage technology to strengthen the recycling system through participatory management.
Arttherapy
The document proposes using art therapy techniques to help children in Pakistan cope with trauma from the 2010 floods. Over 14 million people were affected by the floods, with 1/5 of the country under water. Art therapy has been shown to be effective for trauma and could help the millions of children suffering from disease, deprivation, and witnessing horrific destruction from the floods. The proposed solution is to use self-sustaining, lightweight, and rapidly deployable art therapy sessions led by local community partners to help children process trauma and accelerate community rebuilding.
