Some insights from one of Australia's top psychologists, Graham Winter, Executive Director of Think One Team International.

Would you be attracted to a workplace that developed resilience and change readiness so that you don’t just survive disruptive change, but you get stronger because of it?
With all the systems and support for leaders and teams in the average Australian business or government agency you might assume that environment already exists:
Performance management, change management, development courses, engagement surveys, career guidance, collaborative software, lean and efficient systems and so on.
Now pause for a moment and ask a challenging question: Do these practices really make people and organisations stronger, or could they be having the opposite effect?
To paraphrase Nassim Taleb, author of Antifragile, are the practices that corporate Australia uses to protect and support you and your colleagues actually making you more vulnerable to disruptive change?

Three key things you need to do to make yourself more ‘real’ so you can connect and engage with people effectively.

FutureMelbourne - The City Plan that Anyone Can Edit

14/2/2016

0 Comments

 
A truly inspiring case study!
FutureMelbourne has been the most ambitious community consultation project ever undertaken by the City of Melbourne and, indeed, by a local government organisation. The extensive community engagement undertaken in the development process has ensured that it is a rich and robust plan that really represents the community’s vision for our city.
Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle
Content and assets are increasingly digital. These days, audio, video, and interactive elements are the norm. Audiences consume content across multiple channels including mobile, social, and the web. Whether for customers, employees, or business partners, digital engagement can open dialogue, generate new ideas, and break new ground in the collaborations pace, particularly for local government.
 
We take a look at a case study that focused on digital engagement to enable the  City of
Melbourne to embark on a vision for bigger and better collaboration.
