Nudge for Good - Increasing Sponsor Effectiveness VABADD 2018Kay Fudala
Encouraging people to make better decisions is a large part of our role as change agents. We support many stakeholders, from senior leaders deciding how to shape the change, to end users deciding to adopt new ways of working.
We have all experienced sponsors who make not-so-rational decisions. To predict, and guide sponsor behavior we need to understand the choices they make, what their trade-offs are, and how they make them. What hurdles do sponsors face in implementing initiatives? What characteristics set the strong and effective sponsors apart from the rest? How can you as a change agent, nudge sponsors into making better decisions?
Behavioral economics can help shed light on the factors that guide everyday decisions. In this presentation, we will touch upon the rational and irrational forces that influence sponsor behavior. We will discuss practical strategies to increase sponsor effectiveness by leveraging these insights.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Volunteerism Dilemma Today:
While more and more people are talking about giving
back to the community, non-profit organizations are
increasingly reporting decline in volunteer participation
and commitment.
Why are our organizations failing to inspire and
motivate volunteers to commit to a cause?
Have we considered the increasing competition for
volunteer recruitment? How are we making our
volunteer engagements more attractive?
Have we understood the art of motivation?

commitment each generation of volunteers bring to
your organization and develop expectations
accordingly

experience, pay attention to internal motivators, like
personal beliefs & personalities

What’s In It For Me?
We have entered a new era of “self-interest” based
volunteerism. According to McClelland- Atkinson
Model, Volunteers can be classified under 3 different
“Motivational Types”:
1. Achievers: Result-oriented, Risk-taker, Independent
2. Affiliators: Relationship-builder, team-oriented, sensitive
3. Power People: Charismatic, Influencer, Difference-maker
Action: It’s challenging to determine what
motivational type a person is. There may also be
overlaps.

Paradigm Shift: New Trends in Volunteerism
Shift 1: Googleized Generation (World of Instant

Editor's Notes
We all need motivation to accomplish something challenging on daily basis
As Muslims, we are expected to motivate others to do good and to become better humans – That's Dawa!
Have we made an effort to:
understand the art of motivation?
the dramatic changes in communications industry and their impact on volunteer engagement?
make our volunteer environments more positive and productive?
Achievement – Volunteers motivated by achievement welcome challenges and are result-oriented, risk takers and innovative. They often prefer working alone, like welldelegated tasks, concrete feedback and a hands-off management style.
Affiliation – Volunteers motivated by affiliation measure success based on relationships, such as working with a wide variety of people. They support others in achieving goals, and are sensitive to the feelings and needs of others. In contrast to achievement motivated individuals, they may not focus on the goals, but rather sacrifice goals/timelines to the relationships they are developing, trying to keep everyone happy. Affiliators tend to seek/need approval and often take criticism poorly.
Power – Volunteers motivated by power thrive on the opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives. They like to use their influence and skills to bring about change. They are opinion shapers, and articulate and charismatic leaders. Sometimes power is viewed negatively, but in this case of power motivation, it is the use of personal power for the benefit of all.
