Case study - Selig and Lind

Methodology:  
You do not need to be too academic in answering questions (i.e. not only find answers in the text or audio recording)
→ feel free to make use of your own experience, background &amp; voice your personal opinion
<!--
T / Cl
Do you think strong leaders groom weak managers?
(...)
  -->
T / Cl
Would you like to relocate to Copenhagen, Denmark?
✓ better work life balance in Scandinavian countries
✓ lifestyle closer to nature
(...)
What differences in corporate culture &amp; management style would you expect?
✓ stronger labour rules to protect employees
✓ less stressful work conditions

Lexical material: Choosing the right manager &amp; management style

pg 72 background <!-- pg 69 -->
reading

T / Cl
What management mistakes do you think Paul Johnstone made?
(...)
Was he too authoritarian?
(...)  

pg 72 management style of Paul<!-- pg 69 -->

team member #1
market_leader_3rd_upper_intermediate_audio_cd02_22.ogg

T / Cl
What is a better management style: saying what to do or how to do things?
✓ what to do
= focus on goals
→ provide support only if needed
= situational management

Hersey &amp; Blanchard - Situational leadership
<div align="left"><img class="zoom_1_2" src="pix/hersey_and_blanchard_situational_management_chart.png" border="1" alt="hersey_and_blanchard_situational_management_chart.png" style="clear: both"></div> 

team member #2
market_leader_3rd_upper_intermediate_audio_cd02_23.ogg

T / Cl
What is more effective: being a people's person or focusing on results?
✓ depends on short &amp; long term goals
→ build rapport if long term, strategic goals are set

Blake &amp; Mouton - Managerial chart
<div align="center"><img class="zoom_1_2" src="pix/blake_and_mouton_managerial_chart.jpg" border="1" alt="blake_and_mouton_managerial_chart.jpg" style="clear: both"></div> 

team member #3
market_leader_3rd_upper_intermediate_audio_cd02_24.ogg

T / Cl
Has Paul Johnstone any potential for improving his management style?
〆should have already proven by now that he is prepared to learn &amp; improve himself
→ current situation is not a warning but a likely dismissal
→ leadership course is probably too late

What management styles should be used?
✓ see pg 67 ex D

pg 72 replacing the project manager<!-- pg 69 -->
pg 73 read descriptions<!-- pg 69 -->

pg 73 task 1 2<!-- pg 69 -->

T / Cl
Rank candidates in terms of suitability
→ Isn't Ruth too decisive? (indeed, sales management consists in pushing people)
→ Will the team want to work 6-7 days a week with Kazuo when they're already exhausted?
→ Is Eduardo decisive enough?
→ Has Martina got sufficient interpersonal skills?

pg 73 task 3 4<!-- pg 69 -->
〆Martina has limited experience in managing people (only IT, not multicultural)
✓ Eduardo may set a better example for a customer service to retail outlets though is not goal oriented

Feedback

T / Cl
Why did he alienate from his staff?
〆result-oriented
〆unclear goal-setting
〆demotivating by not involving staff in decision-making
〆poor, little constructive feedback 
→ improve communication skills

What are the most striking weaknesses of the candidates?
〆Ruth doesn't appear to want to accommodate her management style to an international team
〆Kazuo might turn people off by considering company is more important than individuals
〆Eduardo may be too hesitant and not prepared to take tough decisions because he wants to be liked too much
〆Martina believes people are motivated by money

Who would the consultant recommend?
✓ Ruth might face some resistance at the beginning but eventually will meet deadlines
= favourite candidate
✓ Eduardo would build a good rapport with team members but might not get things done
= front-runner

to be confirmed
pg 73 writing a recommendation<!-- pg 69 -->
use expressions from pg 67 ex D
use expressions from pg 68 ex E

✓ practise listening for gist
✓ recycle vocab for summarising 
✓ review reporting (to explain what you have learnt / what you have been told at a training)
✓ review the passive voice (to refocus on the object rather than the subject)

<h2>Practice:</h2>
We will be rehearsing the following strategy in breakout rooms.

<activity_contents><![CDATA[At this stage organizational learning needs and objectives are identified and agreed. As described above, this is carried through a dialogue with key University’s stakeholders during  strategy  development phase as well as with annual reviews with the University’s business customers.
At this stage programme portfolio architecture is updated based on agreed learning objectives to achieve a sensible trade-off between various learning needs and constraints. For instance, at this stage decisions are made to include new learning courses in the portfolio, combine various learning solutions into programmes catering for different development objectives or career tracks. Various constraints, such as available time or immediate learning priorities are factored in.
After target programme portfolio architecture is approved by the Academic Council, the University teams  commence  design  of  new  learning  solutions  or  updates  of  the  existing  ones.  Each  course  or programme undergoes a pilot phase, where they are tested in a small group setting. After finalization and acceptance by a Business customer, they are released for a rollout.
Learning courses are delivered by internal trainers in various formats, primarily through a blended learning (a combination of face-to-face sessions and independent distant learning). Normally, a full rollout of any learning programme takes a period between few months (for a specific audience) and two years (for the entire organization).
At this stage the University liaises with its business customers to provide continuing support for improved  conversion  of  acquired  knowledge  and  skills  into  desired  competencies.  This  is  done  through project work and on-the-job practices. Learning outcomes are also being monitored and assessed.
The University teams analyse results of learning process on an ongoing basis. This is done through continuing assessment of a customer experience, knowledge acquisition, behavioural changes and business impact.]]></activity_contents>

2. Assigning a task to a team composed of multi-disciplinary individuals increases the level of creativity and establishes common opinion. Each member offers an alternative perspective to the problem and potential solution to the task. 
3. In business today, innovation is a leading competitive advantage and cross-functional teams promote innovation through a creative collaboration process.</em>

T / Cl
1) Pronunciation of contracted forms with the 'schwa' sound
have /hæv/ - 've /əv/
had /hæd/ - 'd /əd/
<em>That'd be much too expensive!</em>
= that would be

2) Simple vs double contractions
I would /wud/ have → I would've /'wudəv/
<em>I would've chosen this one </em>
I would've /wudəv/ → I'd've /'ædəv/
<em>I'd've chosen this one </em>

T / Cl
Ellipsis
wouldn't it? /ˈwudn(t)ɪt/
<em>It would be a good idea, wouldn't?</em>

T / Cl
Connected speech (contractions + elision = linking)
You would have  → you'd 've

The Next Generation of Corporate Universities: Innovative Approaches for Developing People and Expanding Organizational Capabilities by Mark Allen
<a class="clog" target="about_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Next-Generation-Corporate-Universities-Organizational/dp/111871847X">https://www.amazon.com/Next-Generation-Corporate-Universities-Organizational/dp/111871847X</a>

<em>The objective of this book is to provide innovative approaches for developing people and expanding organizational capabilities. If you also have this objective, this book is for you, because each chapter is written by a qualified author to provide the information you need.</em>
Donald L. Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., professor emeritus, University of Wisconsin, and author, Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels

  
Corporate Universities: Drivers of the Learning Organization by Martijn Rademakers
<a class="clog" target="about_blank" href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Corporate_Universities_Drivers_of_the_Learning_Org?id=QbsTAwAAQBAJ&hl=en_US&gl=US">https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Corporate_Universities_Drivers_of_the_Learning_Org?id=QbsTAwAAQBAJ&hl=en_US&gl=US</a>

<em>Organizations constantly need to adapt themselves to stay aligned with an ever-changing and increasingly complex environment. Corporate Universities puts "smart learning" at the forefront, with strategies to secure alignment between organization and environment, which need both speed of learning and learning in the right direction. Across the globe, corporate universities have emerged as vehicles of such strategy-driven learning.
'Corporate Universities' bridges the gap between the disciplines of strategic management and corporate learning, combining general strategy with the concept of corporate universities, which, to date, has predominantly been an HR topic. Readers will find new concepts, as well as generic corporate university strategies to link corporate strategy to organizational learning. In-depth cases show how corporate universities are used to renew, transform, and optimize strategy and include important lessons learned by corporate university executives, from both small and global companies, as well as governmental organizations across different industries.
Written for academics in strategy, HRD, and organizational behaviour disciplines, as well as practicing managers alike, Corporate Universities is the first book that offers a consistent set of concepts, frameworks, and cases to integrate general strategy with organizational learning.</em>
Martyn F. Rademakers is Managing Director of the Center for Strategy & Leadership and has been a Research Associate at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Rotterdam.

<qs>Why don't schools teach creativity although it is needed at work?
</qs>
<ans>
〆maths &amp; languages are more valued than dance &amp; drama, worldwide
〆education is based on &amp; stems from industrial needs
→ public schools educate pupils out of creativity
✓ children are born artists (Picasso)
〆children lose their capacity to take a chance &amp; be wrong
= schools squander children
✓ education is predicated on academic ability
〆academic inflation proves education is shifting under our feet
→ more university graduates will be recruited now in a (few) year(s) than all years put together (ever before) (UNESCO)
→ need for human ecology (Sir Ken)
</ans>
<hint>
to stigmatise = to treat sb in a way that makes them feel that they are very bad or unimportant

</qs>
<ans>✓ retrain teachers
✓ occasionally invite professionals to conduct workshops (as business schools do)
→ encourage a more creative approach &amp; flexibility in teaching
✓ match teaching to current (tik-tok?) generation habits (e.g. micro learning)
→ impose a great variety of tools &amp; ways to conduct lessons (rule - practice lesson, test - teach - test lesson, systems lesson, case studies, discovery lesson, presentation lessons, role plays, gamification...)
✓ give grades to teams and not individual pupils
→ encourage teamwork, cooperation, trust (but do assign individual objectives &amp; responsibilities)
〆only parents need grades to assess progress made

</hint>
</qa>
<qa>
<qs>Are we prepared to be wrong?
</qs>
<ans>〆most probably not

4IR - The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond
<em>The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.
(...)
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (...) as a complement to the best parts of human nature—creativity, empathy, stewardship—it can also lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny. It is incumbent on us all to make sure the latter prevails </em>
Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum

The Next Generation of Corporate Universities: Innovative Approaches for Developing People and Expanding Organizational Capabilities, Mark Allen

Corporate Universities: Drivers of the Learning Organization, Martijn Rademakers
<em>Organizations constantly need to adapt themselves to stay aligned with an ever-changing and increasingly complex environment. Corporate Universities puts "smart learning" at the forefront, with strategies to secure alignment between organization and environment, which need both speed of learning and learning in the right direction. Across the globe, corporate universities have emerged as vehicles of such strategy-driven learning.
'Corporate Universities' bridges the gap between the disciplines of strategic management and corporate learning, combining general strategy with the concept of corporate universities, which, to date, has predominantly been an HR topic. Readers will find new concepts, as well as generic corporate university strategies to link corporate strategy to organizational learning. In-depth cases show how corporate universities are used to renew, transform, and optimize strategy and include important lessons learned by corporate university executives, from both small and global companies, as well as governmental organizations across different industries.
Written for academics in strategy, HRD, and organizational behaviour disciplines, as well as practicing managers alike, Corporate Universities is the first book that offers a consistent set of concepts, frameworks, and cases to integrate general strategy with organizational learning.</em>

Martyn F. Rademakers is Managing Director of the Center for Strategy & Leadership and has been a Research Associate at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Rotterdam.

This growth is justified by the increasing number of learning solutions as well as the preparation for the NLMK corporate university campus opening in 2021.
Since 2020 the NLMK corporate university has started to design and deliver learning solutions for external clients and made a profit of five hundred thousand roubles. In 2021, the income is expected to rise by at least fifty percent and will be spent on Campus needs (IT tools, Infrastructure, etc.).

4IR - The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond
<em>The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.
(...)
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (...) as a complement to the best parts of human nature—creativity, empathy, stewardship—it can also lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny. It is incumbent on us all to make sure the latter prevails </em>
Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum

<section>
<column>1. Learning is a key factor of success for organisations in today’s dynamic business and societal environments. But how to ensure that your learning function is fully aligned with your organisation’s strategy and business priorities? And what is excellence in corporate learning actually all about? How do you get a fair outside-in view of your learning and development function that is not a check-the-box process but one that takes your business context into account, engages your stakeholders, and fuels your function’s strategic development?
</column>

<column>1. Обучение является ключевым фактором успеха организаций в современной динамичной деловой и социальной средах. Но как обеспечить, чтобы функция обучения полностью соответствовала стратегии и бизнес-целям организации? И что на самом деле представляет собой превосходство в корпоративном обучении? Как получить справедливую внешнюю оценку своей функции обучения и развития, которая не является процессом проверки, а учитывает контекст бизнеса, вовлекает заинтересованных лиц и способствует стратегическому развитию функции обучения?
</column>

<column>2. These were the kinds of questions addressed by EFMD’s launch of its Corporate Learning Improvement Process (CLIP) in the early 2000s, under the leadership of Gordon Shenton, its first Director. CLIP has since become the premier quality management tool for corporate learning. It combines assessment and development of a learning function and rests upon a framework of quality standards. And its tested process of self-assessment and peer review allows the learning function to engage its stakeholders in a constructive dialogue on its current state and its future ambition.
</column>

<column>2. Именно на такие вопросы ответил Европейский фонд развития менеджмента (European Foundation for Management Development - EFMD), запустивший аккредитационную Программу совершенствования корпоративного обучения (Corporate Learning Improvement Process - CLIP) в начале 2000-х годов под руководством Гордона Шентона, первого директора EFMD. С тех пор, CLIP стал главным инструментом управления качеством корпоративного обучения. Он сочетает в себе оценку и развитие функции обучения и основывается на системе стандартов качества. А его уже проверенный процесс самооценки (self-assessment process) и экспертной оценки (peer review process) позволяет обучающей функции вовлекать заинтересованные стороны в конструктивный диалог о своем текущем состоянии и в своих будущих амбициях.
</column>

<column>3. Since CLIP’s inception, corporate learning has evolved remarkably. Continuous transformation has become the new normal within organisations, requiring ongoing reskilling and upskilling of the workforce. This has pushed learning from being a formal activity to become increasingly embedded into the work itself. Digitalisation has also moved to the forefront, bringing with it the power of data analytics. This allows for greater focus on learner experience and the personalisation of learning. In addition, the combination of continuous transformation and digitalisation requires the learning function to synchronise its learning strategy to the business in real-time through agile work practices, often drawing on an eco-system of internal and external partners to co-create solutions.</column>

<column>3. С момента создания CLIP корпоративное обучение заметно эволюционировало. Непрерывная трансформация стала новой нормой в организациях, требующей постоянной переподготовки и повышения квалификации рабочей силы. Это привело к тому, что обучение из формальной деятельности стало все более интегрированным в саму работу. Цифровизация также вышла на передний план, принеся с собой возможности анализа данных. Это позволяет уделять больше внимания опыту учащихся и персонализации обучения. Кроме того, сочетание непрерывной трансформации и цифровизации требует, чтобы функция обучения синхронизировала свою стратегию обучения с бизнесом в режиме реального времени с помощью гибких методов работы (agile), часто используя экосистему внутренних и внешних партнеров для совместного создания решений.</column>

<column><![CDATA[4. In 2017, a survey among the EFMD corporate network identified six challenges for corporate learning and six obstacles that need to be overcome to adequately cope with them (cf. figure 1).

<div align="center" class="zoom_1_2"><img src="pix/efmd_magazine_global_focus_20211018_inspiring_innovation_by_moehrle_smith_01.png" width="90%" alt="visual support"></div>

To better reflect this new environment, EFMD decided last year to carry out a comprehensive refresh of the CLIP model of excellence in corporate learning, valid from 2021 onward. The now modernised and simplified CLIP framework is structured in five chapters, each with three standards composed of four criteria. The chapter flow follows a clear value chain logic and covers all relevant aspects of a world-class learning organisation.]]>
</column>

<column>4. В 2017 году опрос корпоративной сети EFMD выявил шесть вызовов для корпоративного обучения и шесть препятствий, которые необходимо преодолеть, чтобы адекватно справиться с ними (см. рисунок 1).

Трансформация корпоративного обучения
Рисунок 1: Трансформация корпоративного обучения: от поставщика обучения к средству, способствующему обучению (EFMD Global Focus, 12(1), стр. 46-49)

Чтобы лучше отразить эту новую среду, EFMD в прошлом году решил провести всестороннее обновление модели CLIP для повышения качества корпоративного обучения, действующей с 2021 года. В настоящее время модернизированная и упрощенная структура CLIP состоит из пяти направлений, каждый из которых содержит три стандарта, состоящих из четырех критериев. Порядок направлений следует четкой логике цепочки создания стоимости и охватывает все соответствующие аспекты обучающей организации мирового класса.
</column>


<column><![CDATA[5. The first chapter covers the strategy of the learning function, its positioning, governance, and value creation logic. Chapter 2 deals with the target markets served and their segmentation, the connections with learners and their managers, as well as the integration of businesses along the learning value chain. The learning function’s offer for its various market segments is the subject of chapter 3, including its cohesiveness, design, and deployment. Chapter 4 looks at the resources that the learning function orchestrates, beginning with its own team and continuing with how it builds and leverages an internal and external learning ecosystem. Finally, chapter 5 addresses the impact of the learning function on individuals, businesses, the enterprise, and society, and the respective measurement and feedback loop into strategy (cf. figure 2).

<div align="center" class="zoom_1_2"><img src="pix/efmd_magazine_global_focus_20211018_inspiring_innovation_by_moehrle_smith_02.png" width="90%" alt="visual support"></div>]]>
</column>

<column>5. В первом направлении рассматривается стратегия функции обучения, ее позиционирование, управление и логика создания ценности. Во втором направлении рассматриваются обслуживаемые целевые рынки и их сегментация, связи с учащимися и их менеджерами, а также интеграция предприятий в цепочку создания ценности обучения. Предложение функции обучения для различных сегментов рынка является предметом третьего направления, включая его согласованность, разработку и развертывание. В четвёртом направлении рассматриваются ресурсы, которыми управляет функция обучения, начиная с собственной команды и заканчивая тем, как она создает и использует внутреннюю и внешнюю экосистемы обучения. Наконец, в пятом направлении рассматривается влияние функции обучения на отдельных лиц, бизнес и общество, а также соответствующий цикл измерения и обратной связи в направлении «Стратегия» (см. рисунок 2).

Рисунок 2: Новая структура качестве CLIP: 5 направлений, 15 стандартов, 60 критериев
</column>

<column>6. Three transversal themes cut through all five chapters: digital, agile, and international. The digital transformation pervades all aspects of corporate learning. Agile comprises responsiveness, flexibility, personalisation, among other topics. And the international mindset and connectivity of the learning function allow organisations to learn from and with the world, even if they have a limited geographic footprint.</column>

<column>6. Три сквозные темы проходят через все пять глав: цифровизация, гибкость и интернационализация. Цифровая трансформация пронизывает все аспекты корпоративного обучения. Гибкость включает в себя, среди прочего, оперативность и персонализацию. А международное мышление и связь с функцией обучения позволяют организациям учиться у всего мира и взаимодействовать с ним, даже если они имеют ограниченное географическое присутствие.
</column>

<column>7. The CLIP framework takes a broad view of Corporate Learning &amp; Development and covers both the professionalism applied in all learning and development processes and practices, as well as their grounding in business and organisational reality and their link to the company’s strategic and transformation agenda. The CLIP process continues to rest on the two main pillars of self-assessment and peer review. Four peers from the CLIP community interview all relevant stakeholders of a learning function to then identify and give feedback on points of excellence, strengths, areas for development and considerations for the future.
</column>

<column>7. Структура CLIP охватывает широкий взгляд на корпоративное обучение и развитие и охватывает как профессионализм, применяемый во всех процессах и практиках обучения и развития, так и их обоснованность в бизнес- и организационной реальности и их связь со стратегией и программой преобразований компании. Процесс аккредитации по CLIP по-прежнему основывается на двух главных принципах самооценки и коллегиального обзора. Четверо коллег из сообщества CLIP проводят собеседования со всеми соответствующими заинтересованными сторонами, участвующими в обучающей функции, чтобы затем определить и дать обратную связь о преимуществах, сильных сторонах, областях для развития и соображениях на будущее.
</column>

<column>8. The benefits of pursuing a CLIP accreditation remain unchanged. These include

- internal recognition within the organisation, getting awareness and buy-in for the cause learning, and the role and plans of the learning function among all stakeholders
- contribution to the employer brand, especially as learning has become a prominent aspect of the employer value proposition
- acceleration of the function’s strategic development by validating and enriching the strategic roadmap of the corporate learning function
- access to the CLIP community of forward-looking learning and talent development leaders.
</column>

<column>8. Преимущества прохождения аккредитации CLIP остаются неизменными. К ним относятся:

• внутреннее признание в организации, повышение осведомленности и участие в обучении бизнеса, а также роль и планы функции обучения среди всех заинтересованных сторон;
• вклад в бренд работодателя, особенно с учетом того, что обучение стало важным аспектом ценностного предложения работодателя;
• ускорение стратегического развития обучающей функции за счет подтверждения и обогащения стратегической дорожной карты корпоративной функции обучения
• доступ к сообществу CLIP, состоящему из перспективных лидеров в области обучения и развития талантов.
</column>

<column>9. The redesign task force was led by Steven Smith, co-author of this article and former EVP at Capgemini and CLO at Nordea Bank. Our heartfelt thanks go to him and all other members of the global CLIP community who so generously contributed time and expertise to this project. We are proud of the outcome and can already witness how the refreshed CLIP framework continues to inspire learning and development functions around the world to join the club of those who have already gone through accreditation.</column>

<column>9. Целевую группу по перепроектированию структуры CLIP возглавлял Стивен Смит, соавтор этой статьи и бывший руководитель ценностного предложения работодателя (employment value proposition) в Capgemini и директор по обучению (Chief Learning Officer) в Nordea Bank. Мы от всего сердца благодарим его и всех других членов глобального сообщества CLIP, которые так щедро выделили время и знания для этого проекта. Мы гордимся результатом и уже можем наблюдать, как обновленная структура CLIP продолжает вдохновлять функции обучения и развития по всему миру, чтобы присоединиться к клубу тех, кто уже прошел аккредитацию.

Why did you decide to choose this  'Train-the-Trainer' model of learning?

]]></key>
<qa>
<qs><![CDATA[1. The <u>number of internal trainers</u> for basic corporate learning solutions has increased greatly from 2017 to 2021. To enable their high performance as trainers, NLMK corporate university experts have developed and launched a series of programmes:
<u>Train-the-Trainer</u> (2 levels) (further – TTT), training skills development programmes (8 courses), Group Supervision
  
2. To visualize training skills development CU experts have created an <u>internal trainer profile document</u>, which describes successful behaviours of a trainer delivering a course. Every internal trainer is <u>eligible for supervision</u> and feedback on trainer’s skills development from CU experts till (s)he reaches the target level of the trainer’s behaviour.
  
3. As soon as the trainer gets to the <u>target level</u> (s)he is offered one supervision per year or supervision on demand to maintain and develop trainer’s skills. All data on a trainer’s progress is stored in his/her trainer’s profile on the corporate university's internal website.
  
4. The internal trainers' learning and development system includes <u>accreditation for the position of an internal trainer</u>, with further growth to a master trainer. A <u>master trainer</u> is an experienced trainer who invests time to develop new internal trainers.]]>

<instructions02>
Do you feel some collective aspiration in your workplace?
Inventing new knowledge is not a specialized activity... it is a way of behaving - Do you agree?
Why is it important to be a knowledge worker?
What do you need to provide a framework for action: only tools, or also ideas?
What tools or example do you know of where people are continually learning how to learn together?

1. Peter Senge, who popularized learning organizations in his book The Fifth Discipline, described them as places “where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are<u> nurtured</u>, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together.”
  
2. To achieve these ends, Senge suggested the use of five “component technologies”: systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning. 
  
3. In a similar spirit, Ikujiro Nonaka characterized knowledge-creating companies as places where “inventing new knowledge is not a specialized activity…it is a way of behaving, indeed, a way of being, in which everyone is a <u>knowledge worker</u>.”
  
4. Nonaka suggested that companies use metaphors and <u>organizational redundancy</u> to focus thinking, encourage dialogue, and make <u>tacit</u>, instinctively understood ideas <u>explicit</u>.

5. (...) But does it provide a framework for action? How, for example, will managers know when their companies have become learning organizations? What concrete changes in behaviour are required? What policies and programmes must be in place? How do you get from here to there?

<qa>
<qs><![CDATA[1. The <u>number of internal trainers</u> for basic corporate learning solutions has increased greatly from 2017 to 2021. To enable their high performance as trainers, NLMK corporate university experts have developed and launched a series of programmes:
<u>Train-the-Trainer</u> (2 levels) (further – TTT), training skills development programmes (8 courses), Group Supervision
  
2. To visualize training skills development CU experts have created an <u>internal trainer profile document</u>, which describes successful behaviours of a trainer delivering a course. Every internal trainer is <u>eligible for supervision</u> and feedback on trainer’s skills development from CU experts till (s)he reaches the target level of the trainer’s behaviour.
  
3. As soon as the trainer gets to the <u>target level</u> (s)he is offered one supervision per year or supervision on demand to maintain and develop trainer’s skills. All data on a trainer’s progress is stored in his/her trainer’s profile on the corporate university's internal website.
  
4. The internal trainers' learning and development system includes <u>accreditation for the position of an internal trainer</u>, with further growth to a master trainer. A <u>master trainer</u> is an experienced trainer who invests time to develop new internal trainers.]]>

<role_a>
<task>You founded your business by taking over a Soviet, state-owned company in the early 90s when the Russian Federation was going through many changes. You managed to save jobs and preserve assets. It was tough but you kept the company afloat. You believe you know best how to manage the company. 
Remember: you are not the owner any more because your company has shareholders. You don't want to be only a board member.</task>
<ans>〆Authority cannot be shared by a group of people.
✓ I'm confident I can exercise my board responsibilities even if I have more power than my fellow board members.
〆There's no way I'm going to step down!
〆I believe only in vertical management
〆Current needs in the steel industry can't be addressed by empowerment
</ans>
</role_a>
<role_b>
  <task>You are a member of the board. You have work experience in the Soviet era, the current Russian Federation, as well as abroad in international joint-ventures. To improve the company's performance, you want the founder and CEO to have the same responsibilities and authority as board members, or retire. 
The future of the company needs better governance and not single-handed leadership that is now outdated.</task>
<ans>〆Responsibilities of the board chair and CEO cannot be held by the same person 
〆You can't be accountable to a board of which you are the chair
✓ You must retire
〆If you're confident you can exercise your board responsibilities, why do you need us?
〆Board members like me can't play just an advisory or supporting role!
〆Interests of shareholders cannot be effectively executed
✓ Power and authority should flow through the board before it gets to the CEO
→ we need to translate expectations into written, comprehensive and concise policy
→ compliance should be monitored

</qs>
<ans>✓ engage in systems thinking
✓ commitment to personal mastery
✓ mental methods
✓ promote a shared vision
✓ commitment to team learning

<hint>learning organisation = a house where organisational learning (a process) takes place
</hint>
</qa>
<qa>
<qs>Could you have organisation learning without a learning organisation?
</qs>
<ans>〆not in the long term, especially in a large company
〆organisation learning without a learning organisation runs the risk of providing irrelevant, outdated training which lacks a shared vision
→ outsourcing training results in the absence of systems thinking where only individual needs rather than team ones are satisfied
</ans>
<hint>If you don't use it, you lose it
</hint>
</qa>

<qs>How do you engage in systems thinking in your company?</qs>
<ans>✓ methodological units are responsible not only for functioning but also training
✓ strategic understanding
→ operational correction of processes
= optimisation</ans>
<hint>see example of the reception at the hotel which informs when guests check out</hint>
</qa>
<qa>
<qs>What tools do you implement to ensure commitment to personal mastery and mental methods?</qs>
<ans>✓ discussions to make staff understand their role in the whole process
→ identify who is responsible for a given process
</ans>
<hint>mastery = great knowledge about or understanding of a particular thing</hint>
</qa>
<qa>
<qs>Why is it important to promote a shared vision?</qs>
<ans>✓ address the risk of working in a vacuum

  1. In order to be customer-oriented, a sprint demo meeting with the main Business Customer is held. Information on the main completed tasks <u>is provided</u> to the key customer. This allows the customer needs to be determined exactly and the material taken into account by the HR VP feedback to be finalised. The Agile method helps to stay connected with all parties involved in the development process and adjust new requirements and contents quickly.  
  
2. The main advantage of this course is its electronic format: availability 24/7, asynchronous learning and the ability to use all the material as instructions at any time (even after the course is completed). By the way, the course can be  regularly updated, because HR processes are a living organism in any company.

<instructions02><![CDATA[The Governance Problem: How it Started
<em>A look at the root of the main problem with governance today, in response to a Jan. 24, 2013 Globe and Mail article about Bob Monks by Janet McFarland, "Storming the boardroom: Sound, fury and little else." (Report on Business section, page B8). See also, What is Governance? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpxBeq...). Opinions, ideas expressed in this video were formed and influenced by Policy Governance(R) principles. Policy Governance was designed by Dr. John Carver and is in use by boards of all types around the world. For more information, please visit http://www.browndogconsulting.com.</em>

<activity_contents>1. This Learning Solution is a part of the Onboarding Direction (...) The complexity of such a development lies in the fact that the e-course has a main customer (HR VP), and there are experts on each topic (15 people): everyone's opinion must be taken into consideration.  To determine a clear understanding of the course content, the NLMK CU conducted a series of interviews with newly appointed managers. On the basis of problems revealed during the research we identified key learning results and created a content map and exercises which will help the participants to get the required experience and practise skills to close all gaps. Interviews with HR experts helped us to create a detailed content map consisting of 5 topics and 67 e-lessons in the format of micro-learning.  
  
2. After discussing the content, a roadmap with steps and deadlines was formed. In this roadmap was set the final date when the NLMK CU can share new work experience. Development of the course methodology is carried out by the NLMK CU while the creative concept is undertaken by the outsourcing side. Nowadays the NLMK CU has regular meetings (timeboxing) every Monday with our provider in which we choose the list of cases that need to be completed at a certain time. Iterative development means that we can decide what we can do based on our capabilities and the experience of the previous iteration. Besides weekly meetings with the provider, the NLMK CU has daily internal meetings. The meeting lasts no more than 15 minutes. Three issues are discussed at this meeting: What did I do yesterday, what will I do today and difficulties.

  1. In order to be customer-oriented, a sprint demo meeting with the main Business Customer is held. Information on the main completed tasks <u>is provided</u> to the key customer. This allows the customer needs to be determined exactly and the material taken into account by the HR VP feedback to be finalised. The Agile method helps to stay connected with all parties involved in the development process and adjust new requirements and contents quickly.  
  
2. The main advantage of this course is its electronic format: availability 24/7, asynchronous learning and the ability to use all the material as instructions at any time (even after the course is completed). By the way, the course can be  regularly updated, because HR processes are a living organism in any company.

The complexity of such a development lies in the fact that the e-course has a main customer (HR VP), and there are experts on each topic (15 people): everyone's opinion must be taken into consideration.  To determine a clear understanding of the course content, the NLMK CU conducted a series of interviews with newly appointed managers.

2. After discussing the content, a roadmap with steps and deadlines was formed. In this roadmap was set the final date when the NLMK CU can share new work experience. Development of the course methodology is carried out by the NLMK CU while the creative concept is undertaken by the outsourcing side. Nowadays the NLMK CU has regular meetings (timeboxing) every Monday with our provider in which we choose the list of cases that need to be completed at a certain time. Iterative development means that we can decide what we can do based on our capabilities and the experience of the previous iteration. Besides weekly meetings with the provider, the NLMK CU has daily internal meetings. The meeting lasts no more than 15 minutes.

156 words
by Lyudmila
<em>The 70:20:10 model of learning is one of the most common approaches to learning in large corporations: 70% development from job-related experiences, 20% development from interactions with others, and 10% development through formal educational events.  This model makes it possible to organize on-the-job training as efficiently as possible. We may not focus on structured learning activities, but rather on business networking or teamwork, helping employees to communicate and share experiences and transfer knowledge naturally through daily work and interaction.
  
Understanding the concept changes the way the company behaves, increases productivity, expands thinking. It is important to understand that learning has long gone beyond the classroom, although the concept does not exclude traditional learning.

Learning outside the workplace is still effective and necessary, and it lays the foundation. However, in the course of carrying out their work, a person can consolidate the knowledge acquired and gain new experience by learning new applications of his or her knowledge. </em>

<instructions>Discuss the following excerpt from 'The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning' workshop</instructions>
<instructions02>Faced with a performance deficit, business leaders often assume that a training program is the answer.
  
That is true when the root cause of the suboptimal performance is a lack of skill or knowledge. However, many other factors in a business’s structure, processes, and climate can adversely affect performance. 
  
If training is prescribed without first identifying the true cause of the performance deficit, then the training may fail to improve performance; the time and resources invested will be wasted.

1. Shaping managerial culture is a challenge: first, you need to identify a <u>role model</u>. Managers should not just <u>pay lip service</u>, they should actually practise what they say. Oleg Bagrin, an inspirational leader, set standards in fostering our management culture.

2. We have created learning solutions which covered standards of managerial work, how to provide feedback &amp; <u>empower</u> staff, and how to deal with conflictual situations, <u>to name but a few</u>.

3. In order to run these courses we have chosen and trained top and middle managers to perform also as internal trainers. They are key resources <u>due to</u> their expertise and recognised authority.

4. We will soon be celebrating our 5th anniversary. During this period, we have created 21 learning solutions and support the self-development of more than 400 internal trainers, who - <u>in turn</u> - have taught more than 21 000 employees. 

5. These are just numbers. But what have we really achieved? We have changed the standards of managerial practice, now it is <u>considered</u> as normal to be a trainer.

<instructions>Discuss the following excerpt from 'The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning' workshop</instructions>
<instructions02>Faced with a performance deficit, business leaders often assume that a training program is the answer.
  
That is true when the root cause of the suboptimal performance is a lack of skill or knowledge. However, many other factors in a business’s structure, processes, and climate can adversely affect performance. 
  
If training is prescribed without first identifying the true cause of the performance deficit, then the training may fail to improve performance; the time and resources invested will be wasted.

1. Shaping managerial culture is a challenge: first, you need to identify a <u>role model</u>. Managers should not just <u>pay lip service</u>, they should actually practise what they say. Oleg Bagrin, an inspirational leader, set standards in fostering our management culture.

2. We have created learning solutions which covered standards of managerial work, how to provide feedback &amp; <u>empower</u> staff, and how to deal with conflictual situations, <u>to name but a few</u>.

3. In order to run these courses we have chosen and trained top and middle managers to perform also as internal trainers. They are key resources <u>due to</u> their expertise and recognised authority.

4. We will soon be celebrating our 5th anniversary. During this period, we have created 21 learning solutions and support the self-development of more than 400 internal trainers, who - <u>in turn</u> - have taught more than 21 000 employees. 

5. These are just numbers. But what have we really achieved? We have changed the standards of managerial practice, now it is <u>considered</u> as normal to be a trainer.

Interface with HR processes

The NLMK CU learning strategy and HR personnel development strategy should be closely connected since CU learning actions are an integral part of the HR cycle, the performance appraisal and competencies development cycle. (see Figure 2 below). NLMK CU is not involved in the regular performance assessment and other evaluations. Overall, it is positioned as a Center of expertise in corporate leadership learning and development.

The HR Department formulates Individual Development Plans for managers based on the Competency Model, their regular assessments, the findings of Personnel and Talent Commissions, and the 70/20/10 principle: 70% development from job-related experiences, 20% development from interactions with others, and 10% development through formal educational events. Annual Learning &amp; Development Plan and CU learning solutions portfolio are designed on the basis of all collected learning and development needs, NLMK strategic priorities, the gap analysis of managers' competencies and worldwide trends.

70/20/10 principle = 70% development from job-related experiences, 20% development from interactions with others, and 10% development through formal educational events
dashboard = part of a car in front of the driver that has instruments and controls in it; type of graphical user interface which often provides at-a-glance views of key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to a particular objective or business process. In other usage, "dashboard" is another name for "progress report" or "report" and considered a form of data visualization
EBITDA /i bi ta:/ = Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization; widely used in many areas of finance when assessing the performance of a company, such as securities analysis.

<ans>Oleg Bagrin, an inspirational leader, set standards in fostering management culture.
His role model will be copied by subordinate managers used to Soviet style, vertical management.
Managers need training in managing other managers rather than staff.
They will be focusing on horizontal management skills.

<qs>Who will have developed leadership and corporate competencies?
</qs>
<ans>The HR's role is misunderstood.
Managers are still under the influence of the Soviet, vertically integrated system.
Their mentality is not compatible with the principle of subsidiarity.
Managers hold HR responsible for their self-development.
They also perceive HR as an administrative body only.
Managers will be expected to be responsible for their self-development and not rely only on HR.

New technologies will help unlock access to horizontal management.
Recruitment of new people from varied horizons (who studied and/or worked abroad) will support leadership.  
Bonuses could be awarded to managers who impact on the turnover.

1. The NLMK CU was established in 2016 in order to centralize and unify a Group-wide system of management education. The NLMK CU is a learning and development centre for NLMK staff. Learning is based on the Leaders Teach Leaders approach (further – LTL approach) with top managers <u>cascading</u> knowledge and experience to the next levels.
  
2. The NLMK CU target audience consists of about 6000 managers and internal <u>talent pool</u> for management positions, as well as strategic partners, ecosystem managers and key customers.
  
3. In addition to developing and delivering learning solutions, the NLMK CU team provides scientific L&amp;D data and technical materials, supports and expands the NLMK professional library, organises conferences, strategic sessions and workshops, develops e-learning courses, etc.

4. Because the CU is a component of the company, it can satisfy the needs of managerial learning better than an <u>outsourced</u> trainer. The CU's goal is to help managers and leaders to progress.]]></activity_contents>
