This seminar discusses key forces shaping the role of human resources, including speed of innovation, technology, social media, complexity of growth, and changing lifestyles. It argues that these trends require rethinking organizations, capital, and the role of HRM to be more strategic, flexible, and value-driven. The role of HR is to help organizations adapt and deliver value through building unique capabilities. New challenges for HR include social media, generations, and work-life balance.

Diversity of Thought – what is it and how do you implement it as a Diversity initiative
Learning objective: Discuss creating an environment of diverse thinkers and improving successful business strategies
Diversity is a resource to be accessed and utilized for superior performance and innovation in part because of “more-than-one-way- thinking” which results in innovation and creates an agile workforce. Access to diversity of thought is blocked unless organizations also create an environment of fairness, non-discrimination, respect, trust and where employees feel that their voices matters. The social justice side of the diversity conversation is directly linked to the performance side, without it, Diversity of Thought is a human resource withheld. Diversity of thought allows for differing perspectives on ideas and unique insights into problems, it creates opportunities for innovation and partnerships in unexpected places where ideas will develop into newer and more forward-thinking ideas that can be implemented as successful business strategies.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Identify Diversity of Thought and it’s evolution
b. Understand the challenges to creating a culture that Embraces Diversity of Thought
c. Implement and measure Diversity of Thought
d. Explore the Four Point Sequence and the Predictive model framework
The corporate culture is the product of peoples’ experience, beliefs, and actions (behaviours). It’s the people in an organization that collectively through their experience, beliefs and actions create value -results.
As wary confidence grows in the economic recovery, anxiety is starting to bubble around workforce loyalty and retention. This concern is justified. But it shouldn’t be new.
THRIVING IN A MULTI-GENERATIONAL WORLD - MILLENNIALS to BOOMERSSteve Dosier
Workforce trends and the existence of a multi-generational workforce pose unique challenges to today’s business environment. Understanding each generation is critical to optimizing an organization’s culture.
Today’s workplace is made up of several different generations of employees. Two generations that can be radically different are the Baby Boomers and those just entering the work force, the Millennials.
This presentation provides an in-depth overview of the diversity in trends, education, beliefs and values in the workplace. When the groups e balanced, they bring value to an organization.

Organizational Agility for Sustainable Competitive Advantage in VUCASeta Wicaksana
An Organization has an SCA when it is able to generate more customer value than competitive firms in its industry for the same set of products and service categories and when these other firms are unable to duplicate its effective strategy
At present, the pace of change feels relentless – new technology has changed our working lives beyond recognition and disrupted whole industries.
Many of us like to think that change is rare - we feel like it should be a one-off event, with a beginning and an end. The reality is that change is a constant state - nothing stays the same forever. If this seems daunting, agility is our friend.

Do you dream of building a better organization?
* Where core values run through every part of the organization?
* Where people feel energized and inspired by work, and seek to solve challenges and own the results?
* Where innovation emerges organically from customer and stakeholder engagement?
* Where human beings are not just numbers on a balance sheet but the driving force of your success?
You need a live culture.
We know much about globalizing corporations via technology and the like; we know much less about globalizing people. What globalization means for executives as individuals---how their roles change with globalization; what individual personality traits, skills, and experiences will matter most; and how easy, or difficult, it is for them to adjust. Indeed, corporations are raising concerns about their management teams. Based on an extensive research project including data from over 14,000 managers from companies around the world, this session will describe essential global leadership attributes called Global Mindset. They are attributes that move beyond cross-cultural intelligence to the ability to operate effectively in different institutional, legal, and social contexts. You will leave this session with a clear understanding of what Global Mindset is, how to measure it, and, most importantly, how to nurture it in your organization in ways that leverage performance and effectiveness.

Riding on the Currents of Innovation to Supercharge Employee RelationsJoris Claeys
Organizations don't innovate! People do!
Breaking down silos – making things happen!
Building the NEW! Cultivate change! Do it with PASSION!
Enabling intrapreneurship through innovation champions, change agents and wave makers!
Leaders need to cultivate, hone-in and strategically unleash intrapreneurship across their organization or team.
Key to cultivating intrapreneurship is transparency: foster a healthy environment, where intrapreneurs flourish
Many want what innovation delivers, but aren’t prepared to do what it takes!
Organizations and leadership need to be AGILE – ADAPTIVE – RESPONSIVE
Creating an agile culture fosters forward thinking innovation!
Capacities bring forward your uniqueness, through emphasizing on your strengths and knowing your limitations for ourselves, team, company and ultimately the extended enterprise in which you operate. Resulting in effective collaboration – co-creation – co-design
Adaptive innovation cultures and human innovation capacities encourage ability to spot unique opportunities.

Nation of Innovation - Aruba Opportunity Plan v2 (Commission Nation of Innova...Edward Erasmus
The commission Nation of Innovation (NOI) is one of the commissions forming part of the project Nos Aruba 2025. The objective of Nos Aruba 2025 is the institutionalization of an integrated and strategic planning process where the coordination between the relevant stakeholders is encouraged taking into consideration guidelines for sustainable development. The most important outcome of Nos Aruba 2025 is the formulation of a National Integrated Strategic Plan (NISP). The definition of this plan will stimulate the coordination between the concerned stakeholders.
The primary goal of the commission NOI is to develop a plan and stimulate ideas to promote innovation and entrepreneurship on Aruba in order to reach sustainable economic prosperity for our citizens.
The commission believes that Aruba can only prosper in the times ahead if the talents of the country’s people are unlocked. Innovation should flourish across every area of the island’s economy, and in particular in the industries where high value added businesses can prosper and grow. Innovation will be the key to some of the biggest challenges facing Aruba’s society, like economic diversification, energy development, sustainable food supply and other areas that require long-term sustainable solutions.

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.
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.

Rethinking HRM in an era of rapid change and flux
1. HRM Seminar
New perspectives on Human Resource
Management – Moving Aruba forward
Rethinking HRM in an era of
rapid change and flux
Edward Erasmus MA
University of Aruba
Organization, Governance and Management
June 1, 2012
2. What we will do in the next 30 minutes…
Have a conversation about key forces shaping
the role of Human Resources (HR)
• Discuss some mega trends
• How organizations adapt
• Rethinking the role of HR
• HRM challenges
4. Megatrends impacting
organizations
Speed of Hyper- Social
innovation connectivity movement
Sustainable Changing
enterprising lifestyles
Complexity
of Growth
5. 1. Speed of innovation
Disruptive innovation is going to dominate your daily
schedule….
if you walk you stand still, so
you’ll need to run pretty fast to
advance just a little.
6. Disruptive innovation
…….an improvement or advancement that enhances a
product, service or a process in a manner that has never
been expected by the market…..
• Good for consumers
• Disruptive for existing industries
(some will adapt, others will fade away)
11. Radical innovation…
The biggest fear by big companies in this
innovation era is not to be able to recognize
radical innovation and (timely) capitalize on it
when it appears….
12. Radical innovation…
are we catching up?
XX: “Doing business via the internet is
leading to the death of many businesses in
Aruba and consequently unemployment of
many people?”
EE: “So what you do think businesses in Aruba
should do?”
XX: “We should do something about that
darn internet...”
20. 3. SOCIAL MOVEMENT
& CONSUMER-CONTROLLED MEDIA
You don’t control consumers…
Consumers control you...
21.
22. Thanks to social networking:
• Society is moving towards a more social,
collaborative, interactive and responsive web
• Higher interconnectivity
• Building communities
SN gives people a powerful voice…..
34. • Forget B2C or B2B……
it’s now P2P (person-2-person)
…customers want to connect and interact with
companies on a 1:1 social level
…and those who can deliver that, will gain
substantial competitive edge...
35. The end of traditional marketing…
• Opportunities to engage with customers in a
new ways….
• However, managing SM is posting new
challenges for organizations
• Everyone is a marketer
36. 4. THE COMPLEXITY OF
GROWTH
“This is the end of easy growth”
-Raghuram Rajan
37.
38.
39.
40.
41.
42.
43. ‘Questioning growth is deemed to be the act
of lunatics, idealists and revolutionaries. But
question it we must.’
- Tim Jackson
44.
45.
46. Revenue growth will not be easy…
• Increasing cost control
• Upturn in productivity
47. 5. SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISING
“We are living on this planet as if we
had another one to go to.”
- Terri Swearingen
48.
49.
50.
51.
52.
53. Think sustainable….
• Environmental resources are limited and are
quite sensitive to everything that we do.
• We are starting to experience the effects of the
actions of generations that came before us.
To make sure that future generations will not
experience worse, we need to be aware of the ideals
and requirements of sustainability….
54. Why adopting sustainability practices..?
• Without a sustainable society, there is no
sustainable business….
• Not only sustaining the necessary environmental
resources, but also the social resources, including
employees, customers (the community), and
corporate reputation
55. Sustainable enterprising
1. Incorporating principles of sustainability into each
business decisions.
2. Supplying or consuming environmentally friendly
products or services that replaces demand for non
green products and/or services.
3. Greener than traditional competition.
4. Enduring commitment to environmental principles
in the business operations.
56.
57.
58.
59. 6. CHANGING LIFESTYLES AND
SOCIAL VALUES
‘Gen Y is an “experience” culture. They do
not want to be told what to like or what to
do. They want to experience the world for
themselves and pass their own judgment.’
- Bea Fields
61. Generation Y
What they think of themselves:
“Brilliant, thought-provoking, eager, and exciting”
What older generations think of them:
“Over-entitled, egotistical, know it-alls”
68. If you think you’ve got
everything under control…..
Think again….
69. The main question is…
How can organizations remain
competitive, be able to attract, organize,
nurture and retain that core of talented
people, in order to deliver value in a
sustainable manner to a diverse group of
demanding consumers?
70. How organizations are coping
• Create and embrace diversity in
knowledge, people and resources.
• Focus on ‘creation’…not just ‘operation’.
• Think in terms of value, ‘Win-Win’ and
long-term.
• Embrace new forms of capital.
72. Organizations?..
• An organization is way more that just structure and
system...
• An organization is a series of conversations and
dialogues between people, external or internal, in
pursuit of solutions….
78. Building organizations around values
…and NOT the other way around
Creating value (Apple example)
• Unparalleled stream of breakthrough products
• Re-defined how people engage the world with
digital devices
• Significant contribution to culture
• High quality
80. New forms of capital
Intellectual
Capital
Creative Social
Capital Capital
81. Intellectual capital
Collective knowledge (whether or not documented) of
the individuals in an organization or society.
This knowledge can be used to produce wealth, multiply
output of physical assets, gain competitive advantage,
and/or to enhance value of other types of capital.
IC can include:
• skills and knowledge that a company has developed about how to
make its goods or services;
• individual employees or groups of employees whose knowledge is
deemed critical to a company's continued success (knowledge about
processes, customers, research results, and other information)
82. Social capital
= Social relations that have productive benefits.
People acting and interacting well in communities can
create better solutions, greater accountability, and more
economic growth.
“Social capital is about
the value of social
networks, bonding
similar people and
bridging between
diverse people, with
norms of reciprocity.”
(Dekker and Uslaner,
2001)
84. “…creativity will be the single most important
leadership quality for organizations forging a path
through the complexity of today’s marketplace,
workplace, and community.”
~IBM Global CEO Study (2010)
85. Time to start educating our
leaders in a new paradigm…
86. Time to start educating our
future leaders in a new
paradigm…
88. Back to pragmatism and
contextualization
• No ‘one size fits all’ model
• HRM should fit within the organizational
context
• Strategic of nature
• Value-driven
89. The Organizational Context for HRM
Culture
Structure
People
Organizational Processes
Context
For HRM
Systems
Size
Resources
90. Changing role of HRM
• Strong HR leadership - develop clear visions,
motivate others to join, and help them work toward achieving it.
• Acute future orientation - how changing
environmental, organizational, and workforce factors will likely
influence the business, and be prepared to deliver appropriate
solutions.
• Flexibility and creativity - responsive to the
changing needs of its client organization.
• Delivering value – from a non-revenue generating
function to a value-creating activity.
91. Changing role of HRM
To build and strengthen the unique set of
organizational capabilities that give the
company its competitive advantage….that
help it to serve its customers in a
meaningfully differentiated way.
92. Some new HR challenges
Social media policy – managing and monitoring
what is being said about the company and how social
media is used
Millennials – how to motivate and meet the
expectations of the millennial generation?
Changing norms and values – re-evaluate
existing policies or not?
93. Some new HR challenges
Security and privacy issues –use of company
smart phones, tablets (iPads) and other gadgets
Team building vs. flexibility in the workplace
– cloud computing and remote access
Work-life blend –intertwined work and private lives,
24/7 on-call
94. Some new HR challenges
Managing the ageing workforce –managing
‘brain drain’, attracting new talent
Continuous learning – learning as an ongoing
activity, which is carried out daily and ad infinitum
??? - ……
95. HRM: a macro/micro approach
• Preparing the Aruban workforce for the
challenges ahead requires a holistic
approach.
• NISP (Nos Aruba 2025), The Green
Gateway, Chamber of Commerce, etc.
96. We see innovation
Title
as a means to:
• unlock talents of all of our
people
• develop every area of the
economy and, in particular,
wherever high value added
businesses can flourish and grow
• generate sustainable prosperity
97. Our own definition of innovation…
“Transforming the (current) resources of our
nation (Aruba) through the creativity of
people into new resources and wealth.”
98.
99. So in essence….
• The global landscape is changing quickly.
• These trends have an impact on Aruba as
well.
• No ‘cook-book’ approach for organization
and HRM design (pragmatic and contextual).
• The role of HR today is one that is far more
strategic than ever before.
