Pitfalls To Avoid During Organizational Transformation

Disruptive forces compel organizations to undertake large scale transformation initiatives to stay relevant. The speed of executing these transformations is as crucial as the initiatives itself and a lot is at stake. In such situations, it is easy to get carried away by the enormity of task at hand

Home | ECG Zone

See on Scoop.it - #FOAMed - Free Open Access Medical Education Resources

ECG Zone is a brand new site designed to help practical ECG interpretation. Read through our cases, review the ECGs and listen to the video explanations.

NLafferty's insight:

From the same stable as Anatomy Zone comes ECG Zone which I'm sure will become a staple resource for medical students just as the anatomy site has.  The site features video tutorials and a case of the week.

Russell Davies is the director of strategy at the Government Digital Service (GDS). He is a man from the government. He has some advice about the future of your organisation and its website.

Product versus marketingWe’re moving from a world orientated around persuasion to a world orientated around usability.It’s never been more true that you're better off having a brilliant product and no marketing, than you are having an average product plus some marketing. If you’re a digital organisation, developing a brilliant product has never been easier. Whereas marketing has become harder and harder.In digital you can develop and test a product with a small multi-disciplined team, repeatedly iterating on the product and using exposure hours to see how users respond to it, with very few resources.You are better off spending your time and money developing a product or service that works really well and letting people discover it then you are taking an average one and promoting it. With that in mind, you must build services designed around the needs of the user, not around the needs of the organisation, company or government.It’s not complicated, it’s just hard.

What Creating Sketchnotes Taught Me About #Learning

See on Scoop.it - #FOAMed - Free Open Access Medical Education Resources

There are people who stick to their primary pursuits for long and then there are those whose energy keeps changing direction. Between these two extremes, there are people who stick to their primary pursuit but still manage to go wherever their energy takes them. I have figured out that I belong to

NLafferty's insight:

I've often thought it would be great to see students and doctors create sketch notes to support medical education.  Think of all those back of a prescription pad scribbles that have been done over the years and if they'd been captured and shared as FOAMed.  There are sites like Sketch Medicine previously scooped here but would be great to see more people sharing MedEd sketch notes.

Viktor Hwang has introduced the term “social contract” as set of values that governs people’s organizational life. He points out: Culture in business is primarily the conflict between two opposing social contracts. One social contract is based on values of exploitation/efficiency/predictability (metaphor: plantation). The other is based on values of exploration/variance/uncertainty (metaphor: rainforest). Both are valid per se, but are completely opposite in effect. Hwang lists some opposing rules, highlighting this “clash of social contracts”: Break rules and dream vs. Excel at your job Open doors and listen vs. Be loyal to your team Trust and be trusted vs. Work with those you can depend on Experiment and iterate together vs. Do the job right the first time Err, fail and persist vs. Strive for perfection Pay it forward vs. Return favors Companies that live only on the left side won’t pay off in the end. Companies that live only on the right side are doomed to die. Startups and small companies often tend to stick to the left side. Large organizations – whether corporations or governments – can easily get stuck on the right side. Successful companies must exist in both worlds simultaneously.

The psychometric era brought not only the concept of reliability, but also other new concepts that gave credence to some practices and delegitimized others. The most important discursive shift was the negative connotation taken on by the word subjective. Framed in opposition to objective, the use of subjective in conjunction with assessment came to mean biased and biased came to mean unfair.

How to grow a PLN by Sylvia Duckworth & Jacques Cool

To teach, in the revolutionary fashion, is to inspire student cognition, to pose problems that will engage students to think critically about their reality. Many forces in the education system and the larger society resist this model. But revolutionary educators must not be dissuaded in this task. “They must be,” as Freire concludes, “revolutionary from the outset” (86).
