A Sense of Urgency |
Professor John Kotter from the Harvard Business School says while most may know that their organisations need to change, what is likely to be missing and most needed in most organisations is a real sense of urgency. The change guru and author of the book, Leading Change talks about the first step in his very successful eight step framework. Kotter illustrates in simple language that increasing the sense of urgency is the toughest of the eight steps. This is a book for anyone who wants to navigate the turbulent world of today.

| The Magic of Making Training FUN!! - clearing the myths |
Everyone agrees for the need to use FUN to deliver content yet there is reluctance to use FUN tools largely due to prevailing myths. I wrote an article detailing the myths and the facts. The purpose of the article is to clear outdated prejudices about the use of FUN and how it adds value to accelerating learning. To receive a copy of the article, please email lily@smrhrgroup.com |
