IS YOUR TEAM UP TO THE JOBRegardless of whether you are t.docxvrickens
IS YOUR TEAM UP TO THE JOB?
Regardless of whether you are the head of a nursery or of a national sports team, or whether you want to set up a company or a fund-raising
committee, you will be asking yourself the same questions: Do I have the right people for this project? Do our skills correspond to our goals? Are
we capable of doing what we want to do?
This team model will help you to judge your team. Begin by defining the skills, expertise and resources that you think are important for carrying out
the project. Note the skills that are absolutely necessary for the job. Distinguish between soft skills (e.g. loyalty, motivation, reliability) and hard skills
(e.g. computer, business and foreign-language abilities). For each skill, define where your critical boundary lies on a scale of zero to ten. For
example, an acceptable level of fluency in French might be five. Now judge your ‘players’ according to these criteria. Connect the points with a line.
What are the team’s weaknesses, and what are their strengths?
Even more revealing than the model itself is the subsequent self-evaluation by the team members. A good team is one that can correctly judge its
own capabilities.
Beware! Real strength lies in differences, not in similarities.
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling
with them while they do it. Theodore Roosevelt
(Based on England’s 2010 World Cup performance.) Create new criteria that apply to your team’s objective and evaluate each team member
against them. Afterwards, ask the team members to evaluate themselves. How do the curves compare?
THE GAP-IN-THE-MARKET MODEL
HOW TO RECOGNISE A BANKABLE IDEA
The goal of every new business is to discover and occupy a gap in the market. But what is the best way of proceeding? The gap-in-the-market
model helps by depicting a market in a clear, three-dimensional way. Draw three axes that measure the development of your market, your
customers and your future products.
Say that you want to launch a new magazine. Then:
• The x-axis is Cost-effectiveness – how economical is your product?
• The y-axis is Prestige – how well-known is the product?
• The z-axis is Awareness – how ‘loud’ is your product?
Position your competitors’ products on the graph. In areas that are dense with competitors, you should enter the market with your business model
only if it has the potential to be a ‘category killer’. For example, Grazia was able to conquer the already crowded women’s weekly market by
combining sophisticated fashion news with strictly A-list gossip. Look for a niche, an area that has been overlooked and that is not yet occupied.
Beware! If an area is completely empty, you should check whether there is a demand there at all.
Positioning is like drilling for oil. Close is not good enough.
This model helps you to identify gaps in the market: position your compe ...

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.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
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.
1. The Super Teams Pack
The pack for clarifying
the team’s strengths,
story and road to success
2. * Introduction.
* The Team’s Strengths.
* The Team’s Chosen Way Forward.
* The Team’s Story, Strategy and Road to Success.
* The Team’s Road Map.
* The Team Member’s Contributions to achieving The
Picture of Success.
* The Team’s Progress towards achieving The Picture of
Success.
* The Team’s People.
Contents
3. Super teams are special. They often start by building on
their strengths, setting specific goals and clarifying their
picture of success. They then translate this into a clear
story, strategy and road to success.
Everybody knows what mountain they are climbing,
why they are climbing it and how they will reach the
summit. They know who will be delivering what and by
when.
Super teams are made up of people who want to be
positive, professional and peak performers. They
choose to opt in and make clear contracts about their
best contribution towards achieving the goals.
Introduction
4. Super teams then perform superb work and find
solutions to challenges. They do whatever is required
to achieve the picture of success.
----------
The following slides provide a framework that you can
use to continue to build a super team. Please take the
material and use this in your own way.
5. Story Strategy Success
Super teams often start by building on their strengths
and clarifying their picture of success. They then
translate this into a clear story, strategy and road to
success.
Super Teams
7. Super teams build on their strengths and their
successful style of working. They clarify their perfect
customers and how they can help these people to
succeed.
This section provides tools for clarifying the team’s
strengths. It starts with the Success Stories and then
clarifies its Strengths.
Some teams skip this step and move straight to the
story. That is one option. But clarifying your strengths
can provide the foundation for achieving success.
Introduction
8. There are many tools you can use to go through these
steps. The following slides illustrate one approach you
may wish to consider. It invites you:
* To clarify the specific activities in which the team
delivers – or has the potential to deliver - As,
rather than Bs or Cs.
* To clarify the team’s ‘perfect customers’ and the
challenges these customers face.
* To clarify how the team can use its strengths to
help these customers to succeed.
Here are the exercises on these themes.
9. The Super Team’s Strengths
Learning From When
It Performs Brilliantly
10. So how can you find a team’s strengths – where it
delivers As, rather than Bs or Cs?
One approach is to explore its positive history and
when it has performed brilliantly. The team’s talents
can be found in a combination of ‘What’ it delivered,
‘How’ it was delivered and to ‘Whom’. These provide
clues to the team’s strengths and successful style.
So when has the team performed brilliantly? What
have been its success stories?
What did people do right then to perform outstanding
work? What were the principles they followed? How did
they translate these into action?
11. Try tackling the exercise on this theme.
* Describe the specific times when the team has
performed brilliantly.
* Looking at each example in turn, describe the
specific things that people did right to perform
great work.
Start by focusing on:
- The specific strengths they showed.
- The specific strategies they followed.
- The specific skills they used.
Describe the specific things they did to translate these
into action and deliver great work.
12. The specific times when the
team performed brilliantly were:

15. The Super Team’s Strengths
Where It Delivers As,
rather than Bs or Cs
16. Bearing in mind the answers from the previous exercise,
move on to describing what you believe to be the team’s
strengths.
* Describe the specific activities – the projects,
services, products or other activities – where the
team delivers, or has the potential to deliver, As to
customers. So you may wish to focus on:
- The specific ways it helps customers to achieve
success.
- The specific kind of strategic inputs, services or
products it provides to help customers to achieve
success.
- The specific types of projects where it does great
work to help customers to succeed.
17. - The specific results it has delivered for customers.
The team’s strengths go beyond ‘What’ it offers. They
are often contained in the ‘How’ it delivers these
things. Combining these strengths and successful style
can help to define the team’s specific contribution to
helping customers to achieve success.
The following exercise is in two parts. It invites you:
* To describe where the team delivers As and give
examples of where it has done this in the past.
* To describe where the team has the potential to
deliver As and give reasons why you believe this
may be possible.
18. The specific activities – the projects, services,
products, tasks or other activities - where the
team consistently delivers As to customers are:
1)
The specific examples of when it has
demonstrated this in the past have been:
*
*
*
21. The specific activities where the team
may have the potential to deliver As are:
1)
The reasons for saying this – the
examples and evidence - are:
*
*
*
The Super Team’s Strengths – Where
It Has The Potential To Deliver As
22. 2) To
The reasons for saying this – the
examples and evidence - are:
*
*
*
24. So who are the team’s perfect customers? Who are the
kinds of customers with whom it works best?
This may main focusing on customers with certainly
‘personality types’. For example, the team might work
best with pacesetters, established companies or those in a
certain sector. Certainly it may not always be possible to
work with the preferred customers, but it is useful to
know the characteristics of such people.
Getting the right match means that the team and the
customer start off at 7/10. They often have shared values.
This helps them clarify a shared vision, work well together
and deliver visible results.
How to clarify the preferred kind of customer? One
approach is to look back at when the team has done great
work.
25. * What were the personality styles of the key people with
whom they worked?
* How would you describe the customer’s culture?
* How did the team and customer work well together to
get positive results?
Bearing these answers in mind - plus adding other qualities
that may be important – do two things.
* Describe the team’s perfect customers.
* Describe the specific goals these customers want to
achieve in their work and the challenges they face.
26. The type of customer or the customer’s name is:
1)
The specific goals they want to achieve are:
*
*
*
The specific challenges they face are:
*
*
*
27. The type of customer or the customer’s name is:
2)
The specific goals they want to achieve are:
*
*
*
The specific challenges they face are:

*
28. The type of customer or the customer’s name is:
3)
The specific goals they want to achieve are:
*
*
*
The specific challenges they face are:
*
*
*
30. We are now coming to the key point. We have covered:
* The team’s specific strengths and successful style of
working.
* The team’s specific customers – together with the
customer’s goals and the challenges they face.
It is now time to move on to:
* The team’s specific contribution – the specific things it
can deliver to help the customers to achieve success.
Try completing the following exercise. Bearing in mind the
team’s strengths, describe the specific things it can deliver
to help the customers to reach their goals. Follow this by
describing the specific benefits for the customers.
31. The specific things the team can deliver
to help its customers to succeed are:
1) To
For example:
*
*
*
34. The specific benefits to the customers
of delivering these things will be:
*
*
*
The Benefits
35. This section has explored the team’s strengths and
successful style of working. It is also focused on its
perfect customers and the specific contribution it can
make to help them to achieve success.
This approach enables the team to learn from its
positive history. It can clarify the principles it
followed to do great work and explore how to follow
these more in the future.
Super teams start by building on their strengths.
They then translate these into a clear story, strategy
and road to success. This will take us on to the next
exercise.
Conclusion
37. Introduction
Bearing in mind the work you have done previously on the
team’s strengths, this exercise invites you and, if
appropriate, your colleagues to do the following things.
* Describe the possible routes the team can follow in the
future.
The team may be able, for example, to choose from
some of the following options.
- To simply carry on what it is doing now.
- To build on on its strengths and work with certain
kinds of customers.
38. - To build on its strengths and develop the new
business whilst continuing to work with its present
customers.
- To concentrate fully on certain activities and then
sell the business.
- Or whatever.
* Describe the pluses and minuses of each option.
* Describe the attractiveness of each route. Do this on a
scale 0 – 10.
Again, you can do this by yourself as a leader or involve
key colleagues. If the latter, invite people to give their
individual view on the attractiveness of each option.
39. People often start this exercise by listing the obvious
options, but then explore other possibilities. Encourage
them to do this. For example, is it possible to combine
the best parts of each road into a new option? What other
options are there?
* Discuss the various options.
Imagine that you and your colleagues have done the
previous parts of the exercise either individually or
collectively. It is now time:
- To discuss the various options with a view to
agreeing on the way forward.
- To, when discussing the options, build on what you
have in common.
40. It is okay with healthy debate, but finally it will be
important to move to the final step.
* Describe the team’s preferred route.
Describe the route that people would like to see the
team travel.
Let’s assume that you and your colleagues have been
able:
* To clarify the possible routes the team can travel in
the future.
* To clarify the pluses and minuses – and attractiveness
– of each route.
41. * To build on what you have in common and clarify the
agreed way forward.
It will then be time to translate this route into a clear
story, strategy and road to success. That will take us to
the next step.
42. The Super Team’s
Possible Options
The following slides give an opportunity to sketch out
the team’s possible options – the routes it can take
going forwards.
The first slide gives an overview of what the final
options may look like from above. But start by
describing each of the options in detail on each of the
slides that follow. You can then return to the overview
and decide which route to follow.

53. Let’s assume that you and your colleagues have been
able:
* To clarify the possible routes the team can travel in
the future.
* To clarify the pluses and minuses – and attractiveness
– of each route.
* To build on what you have in common and clarify the
agreed way forward.
It will then be time to translate this route into a clear
story, strategy and road to success. This takes us to the
next step.
Conclusion
55. Super teams build on their strengths. They then translate
these into a clear story, strategy and road to success.
People can choose to opt in and make clear contracts
about their contribution towards achieving the goals.
They perform superb work and find creative solutions to
challenges. Super teams do whatever is required to
achieve the picture of success.
This section provides tools for clarifying the team’s story,
strategy and road to success. Start by defining what you
see as the team’s purpose – the specific thing it is here to
do. You can then clarify:
Introduction
56. * The ‘What’.
The specific goals to achieve and the picture of success.
* The ‘Why’.
The benefits of reaching these goals.
* The ‘How’.
The key strategies to follow to achieve the goals.
* The ‘Who’.
The responsibilities of various people in working to
achieve these goals.
* The ‘When’.
The specific things that will be happening and when
along the road towards achieving the picture of success.
57. Several points are worth bearing in mind when writing
the story. It is good:
- To decide for whom you are writing the story.
If you are a leader, you may initially write the story
for your internal team. This will ensure everybody
knows the team’s goal.
- To write the story by yourself or, if you wish, to
involve other key people at various stages.
- To stay true to the spirit of the story but then, if you
wish, also adapt and communicate it in a way that
resonates with other groups of people.
58. Some Points To Bear In Mind About The Road Map
The Road Map is the ‘When’ part of the story. This will
become your ongoing working document. So it is vital to
craft it with care.
Several things are worth remembering when making the
road map.
* Start from the destination and work backwards.
Start by picking a date in the future. Describe the specific
goal you want the team to achieve by that date.
Also describe the specific things that will be happening
then that will show you have achieved the goal.
59. * Dating the road map
Start at the top of the ‘Dates’ column and put the end
date. Then work backwards towards the present day.
You may want to break up the road map into quarters or
other suitable periods. Finish at the bottom of the Road
Map where it says ‘Today’.
This ‘starting from the destination’ approach is used on
many successful projects. It encourages people to keep
focusing on the end goal.
* Choose a suitable template for ‘chunking’ the goals.
The following pages use the 3Ps framework – Profits,
Products – including customer satisfaction – and People.
You can use this or your own template.
60. * Bring the road map to life with quotations.
Describe the actual words you would like to hear
people saying at various stages of the journey.
These can be quotes from leaders, customers,
colleagues or whoever.
----------
So here are the slides for the Story and Road to
Success.
62. The purpose of our team – the
specific thing we are here to do - is:
* To

72. The specific goals we aim to achieve by _____ are:
Profits
*
*
*
‘Products’
*
*
*
People
*
*
*
The Team’s Overall Goals
73. The following pages describe what must be delivered
each quarter towards reaching these overall goals.
One key point. The totals under each heading for each
quarter should be cumulative. This is illustrated below
with Profits, but do it with each heading. For example:
Q4. Profits £1 million
Q3. Profits £750k
Q2. Profits £500k
Q1. Profits £250k
This just lists the headline under Profits, but it could
be broken down into more detail. Suggest that you
have at least three bullet points of deliverables under
each of Profits, Products and People. This helps to
flesh out the road map.

79. Imagine that you have presented the story, strategy
and road to success to your people.
One approach is to ask if there are any questions.
Another is to invite people to form groups. They then
make flip charts that gather their responses to the
story under the following headings – see next slides.
Give them 15 minutes to complete the sections.
If appropriate, go round to take a look at the themes
that emerge. This gives you chance to collect your
thoughts regarding how to answer the points.
Getting Responses To The Story
80. Invite each group to then give the headlines of their
responses.
Try to address the points as honestly as possible. It
is, of course, okay to say that you are not prepared
to answer a particular question or that you will get
back later with the answer.
There may be other questions that people would like
to ask individually. Tell them to talk with you or their
manager.
People will not take in all the information at once, but
it is important that they understand the overall
direction the team is taking and the reasons for this
approach.
81. Like. The things we like about
the story and strategy are:
*
*
*
Additions. The possible additions to the story
and strategy that may be worth considering are:

83. The Team Member’s Contribution
Towards Achieving
The Picture of Success
84. This section provides a framework that each team
member can use to make clear contracts about their best
contribution to achieving the team’s goals.
It invites them to refer to the team’s aims and covers their
own ‘What, Why, How and When’. This takes time to
complete, but encourages them to think through their
contribution.
Please note. The exercise focuses on what they are going
to ‘deliver’, rather than simply ‘do’. This encourages a
culture of ‘managing by outcomes’, rather than managing
by tasks.
Introduction
85. The exercise encourages them to clarify:
* The ‘What’ – the specific results they will deliver.
* The ‘Why’ – the benefits of achieving these results.
* The ‘How’ – the key strategies they will follow to
deliver the results.
They can focus on the key strategies, rather than simply
list a series of tasks; the support required and how they
will keep their manager – and any other key people -
informed of their progress towards the goals.

107. The Green, Amber
and Red Pack
Keeping track of what is happening
on the road towards achieving success
108. Introduction
Super teams ensure that people keep others up-to-date
on what is happening on the road towards success.
One approach is to have a dedicated room or other place
that shows the state of play with everything to do with
the profits, products – including customers - people and
projects.
People can then flag up what is currently in the Green,
Amber and Red Zones. They can also suggest want can
be done to maintain or improve what is happening in
these areas.
Green
Zone
Amber
Zone
Red
Zone
109. * The Green Zone.
These are the things that are going well. It is
important to keep building on these things. For
example, you may find that giving even more
attention to customers who like you may result in
creating even more business.
People can list what is presently in the green zone.
They can also describe how to maintain or improve
these things.
* The Amber Zone.
These are the things where there are warning signs or
need improvement. People can list what is presently in
the amber zone. They can also describe how to
improve these things.
110. * The Red Zone.
These are the things that are going badly. They need
radical improvements or key decisions to be taken.
People can list what is presently in the red zone. They
can also describe how to improve these things.
Setting up your Green,
Amber and Red Zone Room
Some super teams have a dedicated room where:
* They show the team’s Picture of Success and the
road map towards achieving these goals.
* They have three charts headed Green, Amber and
Red.
111. * They invite people to use Post-Its or another form of
recording to continually flag up everything that is
currently in the Green, Amber or Red Zones.
People also suggest what can be done to build on the
Green and, as far as possible, shift the Amber and
Red into the Green.
The next slides provide a framework you can use for
each of these categories. But you will obviously do this
in your own way.
The key is for people to stay ahead of the game. They
are to proactively keep others informed about what is in
the Green, Amber and Red Zones on the way towards
achieving the picture of success.
112. The goal we want to achieve by _________ is:
* To ____________________________________________
The specific things that will be happening then
that will show we have reached the goal will be:
Profits

The Picture of Success
123. Great teams are often made up of people who have
‘similarity of spirit’ and ‘diversity of strengths’. This
section describes the qualities often shown by people in
super teams. You will have your own view of:
* The spirit you want people to demonstrate.
* The strengths and skills you want people to
demonstrate.
* The steps you can take to build a super team in which
people demonstrate these qualities.
The section concludes with an exercise that invites you to
describe the spirit and qualities you want people to show
