Encouraging and Facilitating Collaboration at WorkMichael Sampson
The slides from my keynote presentation at Congres Intranet 2012 in Utrecht, in March 2012. I talked about the reality of the intranet, the nature of collaboration, and how to encourage and facilitate collaboration at work by overcoming barriers to collaboration.
On Thursday 16th October 2014, John Chapman and Andrew Gray presented at the APM Project Management in Practice Event, where the subject area was an Introduction to Programme Management.
Theirs was an interactive session where John provided the theoretical side of programme management, whilst Andrew explained how this worked using a real life example from the UK MOD where a Programme Management approach was adopted using the Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) framework.
The Programme Lifecycle gave a structure to the presentation covering seven areas
1. What is a programme?
2. Why do a programme?
3. What makes up a programme?
4. How do we run a programme?
5. Who is in the programme?
6. When does a programme end?
7. What challenges are faced?
It was important to show how Programme Management called upon the specialisms from the other Specific Interest Groups.
An example of this relates to Benefits Management. Early on in the programme the questions to be asked, and answered, include:
1. Is there a vision of a change future?
2. Is this a shared single vision?
3. Is it in line with what is needed?
4. What are the benefits to be gained?
5. Who benefits, what do they benefit, how much benefit, when do they benefit?
Andrew commented that an important area to consider was the area of stakeholder management. With a high profile programme, there are many diverse stakeholder groups and interfaces including
• An external advisory group
• Local representatives and committees
• Regulators & policy holders
• UK & Scottish governments
• Press coverage
• Wide ranging public consultations
Consultation and communication (two way) would then provide inputs and influences to the decision making process within the Programme.
At the end of the presentation Andrew noted the lessons learned (so far) on the adoption of a programme management approach as:
A Programme Management approach is not for everything
- Split change element of the objectives from long-term business as usual
Bring clarity & focus
- Projects need to know how they fit into ‘big change picture’
Get senior commitment
- Have the approach endorsed by the Programme Board
Co-ordinate stakeholder engagement
- Communications must be co-ordinated and consistent across the projects
Scale the management investment that is needed
- Do not swamp with bureaucracy
Efficient pooling of resources
- A small programme team benefits from pooling common central activities
Cope with geographically dispersed team
- Programme Management approach is the glue to hold things together
Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. A counsellor is trained to listen with empathy (by putting themselves in your shoes). They can help you deal with any negative thoughts and feelings you have.
This presentation was prepared for a discussion of last week’s NMC Virtual Symposium 2008 I’m presenting for my department’s monthly Research Showcase. With only 30 minutes to cover the presentation and subsequent discussion I’ve unfortunately had to be brutal in what I leave out - so if you’re work wasn’t included please don’t take it personally. I would have needed several hours to do the symposium justice.

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
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.

Editor's Notes
“To summarise, these worlds can be used to support virtual events, seminars, campuses and lectures, they can be used to produce hybrid events and experiences that traverse between real and virtual experiences and can be used to integrate a range of applications from document sharing to content production. The potential is being revealed in engaging new learners, supporting scientific simulations and for supporting distributed and international research and learning communities. Virtual worlds will not replace face-to-face learning but will supplement traditional approaches, offering new scope for role plays, scenarios and more learner-driven opportunities for creating learning activities and experiences”.http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/seriousvirtualworldsv1.pdf
