I’m a ”stranger” here, but that might be a start of innovative mobility between vocational training and management development

6


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Vocational Training

Management Development

Let’s find out if

Can encounter and learn from each other in stimulating Creativity and Innovation

we have a similar taskbut we don’t talk to each other a lot

7


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Where do we come from?Does it evolve?

►Academic Learning► Involve business people to bridge to reality ►Continuously search for the appropriate learning set-

ups for adults and faster applicability►……. and it moved on: Harvard Case Studies,

Outdoor Learning, Blended Solutions, Action Learning, Peer Learning, Metaphor Learning, link it all to Organisational Effectiveness

Intermezzo

Take 30” to ensure that you are guiding your brain towards the right paradigm here:

Vocational Training & Management Development are part of the same family : moving individuals, teams and organisations towards a higher/better level

>>>> How can we pick-up ideas from what is going on in the garden of my MD/OD brother

Let’s take that 30”

9


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

What have we been doing in MD/OD?

• TQM, Re-engineering , managing in multi-cultural realities, globalisation and glocalisation, Lean & Fast, Wall Street pressure, CSR discussions, etc.

• They all tango with Management Development

• We have to be innovative to ensure that management education does leverage the bottom-line or the effectiveness of an organisation

10


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Some Samples – part of the these can be translated into vocational training

environments (if they are not there yet)

• Action Learning Projects

• Business Simulations translate models into realities

• Metaphor Learning (Jazz band might give the “Aha Erlebnis”)

Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

• Brains, Hands & Play make an adult learn (e.g. LSP)

• Engaging stimulates learning: e.g. invite a customer in the classroom

• Storytelling: e.g. “my best experience in coaching”



12


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Take 5’: think 1’ and tell 1’ a learning story to your

neighbour

13


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

• Peer Learning

• Knowledge Centres – Collaborative Learning = “let’s continue”

• And, something we learned from you or the engineers: if you measure it, you can understand it and move the targets



14


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Face Reality

Stimulating Creativity & Steering Innovation might “kick-box” with internal rules, objectives and corporate culture

Create a love affair between organisational effectivenessand innovation

15


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

Preliminary Conclusions (there are no final ones anyhow)

Innovation is simply an Organisational Survival Competence and has to be on the Board’s agenda

Innovation can’t survive without Creativity : this demands courage for taking risks

16


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

The final goal is the longer term ‘Organisational Effectiveness”

that’s where Vocational Training & Management Development should meet and push the evolution

let’s start to bridge

Preliminary Conclusions (there are no final ones anyhow)

18


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

• Show your contribution to the “bottom line”, your value of making the organisation more effective (measure)

• Don’t stick to the programmes, the products, the projects but look at the broader frame(Think of what keeps the leaders awake at night and how can we contribute)


19


Budapest 24 - 25/02/2005

• This demands an ongoing quest for Innovation

Innovation = survival & evolution

• Innovation demands riskRisk is not a danger, it is a task to be managed ….. and it can motivate (your customers, your team & you)
