Workplace learning loses unless we engage learnersBert De Coutere
In today’s workplace, we support our employees to be engaged and active learners. In a constantly changing business environment, constant learning makes our careers and our businesses future-proof. The reality however is different from the dream: in today’s workplace we are busy being busy, and learning loses out - often unintentionally. In this session for anyone involved in corporate learning, we will together: - assess the reality of today’s workplace learning: - explore the bad habits and biases that stand in the way of learning more: - get inspiration to set up experiments to engage our learners for action.

HR's Role in Building a Collaborative WorkplaceRobin Schooling
Collaboration is not only powerful but also necessary for the survival and growth of an organization. While we can tap into the power of technology to encourage and optimize this very basic human interaction, the true impact is realized when we focus on attitude and behaviors. HR professionals are uniquely positioned to gain commitment from leaders and employees in order to harness the collective wisdom within their organization whether guiding the company through change and transformation, managing innovation, or focusing on maintaining a culture of inclusion and teamwork.
A talk by Ray Weaver
CEO, ABOGE Coaching and Consulting, Inc.
Leaders,
I have been fielding calls on holding conversations on the events that have been happening in our nation. Specifically, the conversation around the subject of race. I too find it an uncomfortable conversation.
It is a fact, it is uncomfortable because it has emotions, differing opinions, and high stakes; hence, it’s known as a Crucial Conversation.
Conversations like these require us to be totally present, attentive, and open. Additionally, it will not get any easier, if we shy away from holding them.
As I was journaling on the subject today, I reflected on my fear of having conversations about race. After a few hours, I found much of my fear was based on my feeling of not being an expert on race. I am an expert on how I feel, but not on the deep psychology and philosophy of the study of race.
Later, it occurred to me, my fears were based on my thinking I needed to solve the problem (the expert); hence, I felt ill-equipped to do so.
The realization of my fear, aided in my asking another question, “What if, to start the conversation, I just engage to educate myself on the feelings and insights of others from a learning perspective?” I immediately felt empowered and willing to have the conversation; with the intention to learn, listen, and grow.
Face it, this is a large, deep, and complex issue; and it will take multiple conversations, reflection, intentioned efforts, and action on a personal, interpersonal, and national level to solve.
But, additionally, it to requires a willingness to engage in dialogue, within your sphere of influence; no matter how uncomfortable.
I am sharing this not as a simplification. It is to let you know, you are not alone in the uncomfortableness of it, and that you are equipped to have the crucial “learning” conversation if that is your intention.
As leaders, it is necessary for us to open the dialogue and lead the way.
Attached is a Crucial Conversation Checklist, which includes the visual model of the process. It provides the structure to hold the uncomfortable conversations, which is a requirement of the work of leadership.
I am reminded of a quote on the opportunity. It is said, “…real opportunity, unlike magical thinking, often comes dressed in overalls, and looks like work.”
I hope this will support your being open to learn, engage, and hold uncomfortable conversations; as part of your work in leadership.
Stay Safe! Stay Healthy! Stay Strong!

Students’ experience of wellbeing and distress is interconnected with their learning and motivation. However, addressing wellbeing within curriculum can seem challenging in an online (or constantly changing) environment, or when we feel we don’t have time ourselves to explore the options, or we feel that we lack the expertise.
In this session, Lydia Woodyatt explored what we can do with five meaningful minutes online to support wellbeing based on the psychological needs of students. Lydia explored how small five-minute changes in teaching practice can sometimes make big impacts on student learning, wellbeing, and motivation.
You don’t know what you want, and you’re either stuck in a job you hate or still figuring out what you want to do with your life. You’ve been daydreaming about doing something crazy, but you feel paralyzed by indecision. You constantly compare yourself to your friends who are of your age.

How can higher education help me in building a career of my choice?
If higher education is the answer, then what kind of education?

Idaho passed draconian legislation enabling excessive enforcement on noncompetes in 2017 - we got made fun of (see slide 12) but in 2018, Senate Bill S1287aa is moving things back but it could go farther --assuming we want to increase job creation. (Job mobility is essential to business dynamism; business dynamism is essential to job creation (& GDP, innovation, etc.)
Noncompete Covenants Idaho senate bill s1287Norris Krueger
My testimony on a bill to revise last year's bill that added potentially draconian restrictions on employee mobility via increasing enforceability of noncompetes, I will share the research evidence against but also make the case for where we should turn our attention instead!

"Chiefdoms and family firm regimes: Variations on the same anthropological themes?"
Family owned and managed firms exhibit remarkable parallels to pre-industrial chiefdoms because the typical economic environment in which they exist limits them to a size and scale equivalent to that of a chiefdom. Using anthropological research this study inventories all known procedures of accommodating multiple heirs to the paramountcy of pre-industrial chiefdoms. It uses this exhaustive inventory to characterize the succession process in modern family owned and managed firms.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

4. • WHO are we changing?
– Target audience/learners
• WHAT are we trying to change?
– What IS this “mindset” anyway?
– How do we measure it?
• HOW do we make that happen?
– From learning about entrepreneurship to
BEING entrepreneurial?
5.
6. “From learning about entrepreneurship
to learning to be entrepreneurial?”
Nothing less than a Copernican
revolution in entrepreneurial learning is
unfolding before us.
7. To those who want to really make a
difference:
• We know how to teach individuals (and
organizations and communities) to think
more entrepreneurially.
• We now understand why and how.
• How can we translate these insights into
helping communities worldwide?
8. Best programs in the world?
What do THEY do?
• Virtually none are university-based but…
– Chalmers, Stanford, Aalto…
– Venture creation programs
• Don’t incubate, accelerate?
– Startup Weekend
– Lean startup
– TechStars, et al. /Global Accelerator Network
– Y-Combinator /500 Startups /etc.
VET: www.NACCE.com
High School: http://steveblank.com/2013/02/28/the-lean-
launchpad-goes-to-high-school/
9. Key Premises
• #1. We assume that the “mindset” reflects
deep cognitive phenomena, particularly deep
beliefs and assumptions.
• #2. These only change through transformative
learning experiences.
• #3. We believe that a useful way to view
mindset-change is helping learners move from
a more novice mindset toward a more expert
mindset.
10. • Oversimplifying “slightly”, transformative learning
follows the constructivistic model of learning that
focuses on changing how we structure the
knowledge we have and acquire (versus the
behavioristic model that focuses on acquiring
factual knowledge.
• Note, however, that deep cognitive changes are
quite difficult to measure directly.
• But promising research has begun to assess
mindset change pre/post (wish me luck)
11. Find the Right Frame:
One Size Does Not Fit All
• Research evidence in EE is scary…
• Lack of theory
• Lack of education theory
• Theory gives us frameworks…
–Impact = f(Pedagogy, Learners, Instructors
and Context.. Including Stage)
–Inputs Throughputs Outputs
12. Outputs
• Issue 1: How is “entrepreneurial mindset” defined?
Can we provide a rigorous definition?
• Issue 2: How is “mindset” measured? Do we need
to develop a protocol for assessment?
• Issue 2a: Is “entrepreneurial mindset” measured at
all? (and… does “one size fit all”??)
• The “HOW”?
13. Evolution of education
Key Focus of Pedagogy Key Assumption Example of Key Tool
Teacher -centered
Teacher transmits to
passive students
Memorization (lectures on
entrepreneurial facts)
Teaching -centered
Recognizes le arning as a
process
‘Skills & Drills ’
(e.g., writing business
plans)
Learner-centered
Learners have ‘ownership’
of learning
Case studies
(e.g., assessing business
plans)
Learning-centered
Learning is situated,
students & teacher alike
Problem-based learning
(e.g., self-managed field
projects)
14. Throughputs
• Issue 3: How experiential is the curriculum?
• Issue 3a: Is it truly experiential or merely “hands on”?
• Issue 4: Does the organizational setting impede or
support experiential learning?
• Issue 4a: Context (e.g., primary, secondary, vocational,
inside or outside formal education institutions)?
• The “HOW”?
15. Inputs
• Issue 5: How skilled/experienced are the
instructors?
• Issue 5a: Do they need to share the entrepreneurial
mindset (or deeply understand it)?
• Issue 6: Are learners already “entrepreneurial”?
And are programs taking those differences into
explicit consideration?
• Issue 6a: Again, does the institutional setting (and
norms) matter?
• The “HOW”?
16. So what IS this
“entrepreneurial mindset”?
• Learning ABOUT entrepreneurship (content)
Versus?
• Learning to BE/THINK entrepreneurial
(mindset)
ANY Mindset….
• Deep cognitive structures – deep anchoring
assumptions
• Intent, yes, but potential
• Novice -> Expert
18. Keys to constructivistic learning
• Authentic Questions; Big Questions
• Co-Learning
• Personal reflection
• Peer support (peer mentoring)
• Expert mentoring (need a chess master!)
• Skilled facilitator
• Immersion in experience
• Co-immersion in ecosystem
19. Accelerating Learning
• Problem-Based Learning (“authentic” questions)
• Two overlapping themes?
• IMMERSION – Action before thinking
• MENTORING – Learn the right lessons
– Expert mentors
– Peer mentors
– Or THREE? Ecosystem that supports all of this?
– Social infrastructure; cognitive infrastructure
– http://bit/ly/EcoSys
20. “Greatest Hits” of Educational Research
• Humans like to learn; humans are good at it!
• Lesson Plans Help [think I->T->O]
• Action Changes Brains… with the right support

21. Why Ecosystem Matters So
Much? And…
• Brad Feld’s “Startup Communities”
1. Bottom-up, entrepreneur-led
2. Inclusive (broad and deep)
3. Rallying points
4. Long-term process
What GEM and GEDI tell us:
1. Human capital
2. Social capital

25. So what IS this “entrepreneurial mindset” anyway?
• Thoughts? Which are the hardest to change?
– (More important for here... what can we measure?)
Seeing opportunities?
• Innovativeness (presumably discontinuous)
• Resilience to adversity/optimism
• Persistence at goal-directed behaviors
• Domain-specific self-efficacy (possibly general self-efficacy)
• Role identity (mental prototypes)
• Entrepreneurial intensity
• Tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty; Risk-aversion (lower)
• Future orientation (ability to delay gratification?)
• Entrepreneurial behaviors (not just launching a venture)
• Entrepreneurial intentions
• Value creation (versus opportunism) / Market orientation
• (Can we go deeper? Working memory? Cognitive complexity? Etc.)
• But what about…. Narcissism? Other ‘dark side’ issues?
26. Can we map outcomes to throughputs?
• Can we assess what facets/markers of the
entrepreneurial mindset are influenced by which
activities? …and/or….
• Can we identify a desired outcome then identify
how to measure it... Then design an exercise to
change it?
• What about different “flavors” of entrepreneurship?
• What would a robust mindset protocol that serves
all 3 target populations look like?
27. Critical Implications
• For teaching? For training?
• For practice?
• For public policy?
• (and... for research?)
28. Implications: Teaching
• Need to be constructivistic
• Need to understand entrepreneurial
thinking
• Need to understand expert thinking
• Need to address deep beliefs
• Instructor MUST understand – or share-
the expert mindset.
29. Implications: Public Policy
• Entrepreneurial Potential = F(quantity and
quality of potential entrepreneurs)
• Promote educational activities that nurture
expert entrepreneurial thinking .
• Support similar mechanisms for growing an
entrepreneurial community
• Program leaders MUST understand – or
share- the expert mindset.
30. Implications: for Entrepreneurs
• Work toward expert thinking – lifelong process?
• Understand their own deep beliefs
• Good entrepreneurs are good at dot-connecting; great
entrepreneurs...
• Make sure your advisors understand the “Entrepreneur
Mind”(tm).

32. Implications: Research
• Focus on expert entrepreneurial thinking
• Focus on emotions
• Focus on cognitive change
• Focus on deep cognitive change
• Take advantage of:
– Multi-disciplinary approaches
– New tools – theory & method
• Take advantage of... us
33. Research Agenda:
Antecedents & Consequences
• Antecedents
– Impact of teaching/training methods
– Impact of instructor characteristics (e.g., mental models)
– Impact of context (including students)
– Developmental experiences?
34. Research Agenda:
Antecedents & Consequences
• Consequences
– Change in intent (Informed intent?)
– Change in knowledge content?
– Change in knowledge structure?
– Change in deep beliefs?
– How will we know?
• Better dot-connecting?
• Amygdala lights up differently?
35. Again…
How can I help YOU to help grow
a more entrepreneurial Japan?
