After the session break Rudolf Muller orchestrated a high-level strategic workshop - as abbreviated as it was - to instill some understanding why it is important to avoid Zachman and Lockes often quoted sin of getting it wrong from the design by progressing sideways in and fork. In onsuing conversations and reflections participants gained a good understanding of the need to orchestrate KM from the top down. rudolf.p.muller@mutronics.biz Archive http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/LL2011DEC.asp Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:11 UT+10 http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/LLSep2011.pdf This forum works through fundamental organising principle of the human brain and explains in well organised sets of group works how the brain seems to predetermine what leadership assets we bring 'to the table'. How to work best with this smorgasboard is presented by Sue Langley of Emotional Intelligence Worldwide in a very entertaining forum. rudolf.p.muller@mutronics.biz Archive http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/LLSep2011.pdf Wednesday, September 21, 2011 21:41 UT+10 http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/NOBODY TOLD ME.pdf In this engaging Leadership Lounge Bernie Althofer of EGL I Assessments takes the audience through the latest updates to the OHS and WHS laws, the amendments and how these are to be implemented. Bertie creates in the audience a keen awareness that the time of big-time bullies and silent organisations that just don't want to know about problems is a scenario of the past. rudolf.p.muller@mutronics.biz Archive http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/NOBODY TOLD ME.pdf Thursday, August 18, 2011 18:50 UT+10 http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/Leadership Lounge SkillSoft 2011v2.pdf What have Data3, UNISYS and Citec have in common? They have chosen a specific type of training implementation that is considered to be successful because the methodology is a synergistic result of SFIA and the QLD Public Service prescribed Capability Leadership Framework (CLF). Jill Price, Rebecca Dunstone, and Peter Ryan will talk the audience through how it was done.

Chris kept the audience in suspense with a sequence of storytelling that illustrated each point pertinent. A leadership discovery session extraordinaire.

Communicating with Influence is something entirely different. The May Leadership Lounge worked with an engaging presenter through this highly effective form of communication, especially how to put such theory into practice. A very successful Lounge indeed.

Well, until I attended this Leadership Lounge with Dr. Ian Dover. Ian his trick is to see organisational processes as systemic entities in their own right, and then make a deliberate attempt to simplify them. An inspiring workshop that prompted many email responses.

After all, productivity and ingenuity cannot be commandeered. Bill Cropper takes the forum through a witty and sometimes demanding workshop.

Annie Barkl worked with the audience through some astonishing feats that got many thinking why these sessions are not performed more often. Backed up by sound psychological and academical research this forum turned out to be a milestone in self-discovery.

Part 2 presents several proven organisational actions that foster innovation through knowledge sharing and cultural modification.

Our focus for this Lounge was to present a model that vastly differs from the election-bound cycles of governmental short term visions.

His broad inclusiveness makes him an excellent champion for the delivery of quality products. He has also very practical views on the operationalisation of a project, a determining factor of the overall quality. This forum is not a lecture on the merits of project management. Rather it seeks to explore its boundaries. That is to say, Bob will explore with the audience those areas in which too much project management kills off projects because they become too expensive/difficult/unpredictable. In other words: How much project management is too much?

This largely experiental lounge provides good insight into why we do things the way we do them. Rudolf.p.muller@leadership-connexion.org Archive http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/LL June 2010.pdf Monday, July 26, 2010 11:18 UT+10 http://mux2000.mutronics.biz/00001200/P1/How the brain responds to change.pdf The forums explored how the human brain responds to change, especially those changes that are not 'in tune' with it's natural processes. Judy Williams worked with the participants through some 'automatic responses' and how these may be used to enhance participant's skills.

This conversational-circle style session did elicit lively exchange of views, ideas and experiences of culture change efforts. It looked at the deeper patterns that make up culture, what leaders can do to change or revitalise it, what gets in the way and what we can learn from each other about this crucial change arena.
