Michael Scott comes up with a promotional "golden ticket" idea for Dunder Mifflin that goes wrong when their largest client receives all 5 tickets. When things start to go poorly, Michael exhibits self-serving bias by denying the idea was his and trying to blame others like Dwight. Dwight reluctantly takes the blame until the CFO reveals the client was actually pleased with the deal. Michael then tries to take credit for the idea again.

Taxonomy of change models Version 3.0 (July 2017)Mark Simpson
Having worked in change environments for many years and used a wide range of change models for many different types of change we found it useful to collate and categorise models for ease of reference
In this update to our taxonomy we have added Change Rx, Galbraith Star Model, Positive Deviance and Whole System Transformation; further enhancements are welcomed.
In compiling this taxonomy we were surprised at the volume of change related models, in some ways a testament to the views that change can be challenging and the search for a formulaic approach that it could be argued is not possible given that humans are wonderfully unique and change situations can be highly varied. Our view is that understanding, appreciation, empathy, flexibility and resilience coupled with a desire to learn are foundational capabilities that can help those delivering change to be in a resourceful state in order that they support others and deliver effective change.
We hope you find this taxonomy of use.

How to Build a Learning Culture to Inspire Employee GrowthBizLibrary
Do you know the No. 1 area of investment for HR in 2019? It’s employee training and development, according to a study by Payscale.
Why? Because, constant change in the modern workplace demands employees to continuously adapt and learn new skills. LinkedIn’s talent research shows that half of the most in-demand skills today didn’t even make the list just three years ago.
Employees and employers are both recognizing the need for training and development. In fact, LinkedIn reports that 94 percent of employees say that they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career development.
So how do you create a culture for learning at your company that inspires employees to grow?
In this webinar, experts from BizLibrary and The Predictive Index will share their expertise on:
Why you should invest in employee learning and development
How to motivate your employees to make time for their growth
How to create a culture that facilitates learning
These time-honored tools and techniques can help companies transform quickly. And watch the video “How to Lead Change Management": http://youtu.be/PQ0doKfhecQ.

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.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. Dwight
is a very hard working
paper salesman and
completely loyal to
Michael Scott.
Michael
Scott
Is a very eccentric
individual with a unique
managing style that not
everyone agrees with. Will
do almost anything to be
liked.
Jim
Spends half of his time at the
receptionists desk and the other
half pranking Dwight.
Pam
The receptionist and often has to talk
Michael down from his crazy ideas.
5. • Michael Scott, a regional manager at a mid-
sized paper supply company, impersonates
Willy Wonka and comes up with the “Willy
Wonka’s golden ticket promotional idea”
• Michael has mentioned plenty of times of
how he had come up with the golden ticket
ideas. In a conference with his staff he says, “I’ve
done my part with the golden ticket idea.”
• This promotion includes 5 golden sheets of
paper that entitles clients to 10% off their order.
• Jim, the office prankster, gets a call from their
largest client stating that they had found all 5
tickets. The tickets don’t state “Limit one per
customer”
6. As tensions start to rise, Michael
abandons his idea.
With pressure from the CFO Michael
starts looking to Dwight to take the
fall for him.
The CFO makes an unexpected trip
to the branch and Dwight reluctantly
takes the blame for the idea.
The CFO informs them it was, in fact,
a good idea.
Dwight joins the CFO and the
marketing Dept. on a phone
conference. Michael barges in to tell
the CFO it was his idea. The CFO
leaves the branch very confused.
8. MICHAEL WONT STOP TAKING
ABOUT HOW GOOD HIS IDEA
IS IN THE BEGINNING. “IT’S
THE BEST IDEA I’VE EVER HAD”
When Michael finds out their
biggest client received all 5 tickets
he knows he messed up and starts
to blame others. “My golden ticket
idea? Ok, why would anyone think it
was my golden ticket idea? There’s a
1 in 13 chance that this could be
anyone’s golden ticket idea.”
9. David Wallace, the CFO, comes in and
tells Michael and Dwight, “ they were
so excited about the deal that they
had made Dunder Mifflin their
exclusive provider of office supplies.”
after Michael pressured Dwight into
taking blame for the idea.
During a phone conference
with the marketing dept.
Michael storms in to declare
that the idea was his
10. My Take
• I think the producers of this show really nailed the Self-Serving
Bias whether they were trying to or not, they did a great job.
This was one of many times Michael had messed up a situation
and called on Dwight to fix it for him.
• Overall a very good job at merging psychology with a T.V.
show.
