In this session, you’ll get the opportunity to explore the GE &amp; UL approaches using Lean and dynamic work to foster individual learning as part of organizational learning &amp; development.
<h6 class="font-weight-bold m-0">What we will explore together:</h6>
Lean thinking is a self-directed learning strategy that develops people's reasoning by incorporating self-reflection. Self-reflection is a diagnostic on to itself. Reflection is “practice.” The Lean part of this equation is also a focus on eliminating waste in the performance and execution of one’s skills that are deployed in the flow of work.

Learning organization is the capacity of an organization to reinvent its products/ services through the collective learning of its employees. They will acquire the personal learning mastery and along with the leaders, they have to identify learning opportunities, solve problems, share the solutions and make them accessible for reuse and product/ process improvements
<h6 class="font-weight-bold m-0">Discussion Points:</h6>
We explore and have a conversation on the following questions:

✅ How can we design the learning organization without additional technology investment and in a “scrappy or agile” way?

✅ What are the components of a learning organization that emphasize the Lean principles and behaviors?

✅ GE’s approach to integrating personal learning into organizational knowledge. A step-by-step process for comprehensive L&amp;D with a Lean mindset.

✅ UL’s approach to dynamic work design in coordination/ collaborative work hands-offs.

A recent paradox has emerged as employee engagement has risen slightly, but well-being has suffered a decline. As we transition from a COVID-19 environment to a post-COVID environment, well-being is playing a key role. We’ll discuss this perplexing challenge, seek to understand these divergent realities, and discuss the role of positive psychology and its relation to well-being.

Why is Positivity Critical for Future Success?

Session Focus: Linking happiness, optimism + positivity to high performance

When we are happy, optimistic and positive, the physiology of the brain changes; it literally changes.

Research for positive psychology, effects of happiness on the brain, dates back to the 1990s. Since then, reams of data, thousands of studies, decades of research, and a serious application of the scientific method have provided irrefutable proof that we perform better when in HOP (happiness, optimism + positivity).
<blockquote>To quote Shawn Achor, “our brains are literally hardwired to perform at their best not when they are negative or even neutral, but when they are positive.”</blockquote>
This 90-minute Culture Shaping Learning Circle:

• Engages an open discussion forum for leaders to share ideas and challenges they are facing as they seek to sustain workplace cultural norms in uncertain times and the progress they are making.

• Explores challenges striving to develop a culture of continuous learning by developing coaching strategies and fostering a collaborative working environment.

• Encourages Case studies on how member companies working to sustain design thinking practices in a virtual and remote workplace.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher, and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom. Praised by social scientists, business theorists, and corporate leaders, Give and Take opens up an approach to work, interactions, and productivity that is nothing short of revolutionary.
