Pitfalls of training

22 January 2013

Donald Clark discovers some research that should give trainers, and those who hire them, something to worry about. He describes it in more detail, this is my crude summary: Various methods were tested for training people to cope more effectively with phishing emails. One was a placebo but the other

On writing a book

30 November 2012

People have often told me “there’s a book in you.” I have always suspected that is a polite way of trying to stop me going on about something for too long. I’ve always felt that even if there is a book in me, it would be agony to get it

Oxbridge anecdote

10 November 2012

I was reading Dave Snowden’s latest post on western cultures preference for thinking in categories rather than relationships. I associate this with a liking for the reductionism of lists. It reminded me of the old story of someone walking down the street in Oxford. He heard only the tiniest snippet

Not King

9 November 2012

I was in a Waterstones the other day surveying the shelves full of business books and thinking: if these books really did have the answers how come things aren’t closer to excellence in the world? Content is not king, as Hugh points out. —–

It ain’t that simple

29 October 2012

Chris Rodgers pours cold water on the idea of evidence-based practice when managing people. Organizations are complex social processes not rational scientific endeavours. As such, they are not amenable to the research and testing protocols needed to provide rigorous ‘evidence’ of the merit of a particular practice. Or to justify

Values?

29 October 2012

I have been following the US elections fairly closely. It’s interesting to see how partisan they are and how people can take the same data point and reach quite opposite conclusions. People claim their views are based on values but it seems that what these values mean varies enormously. My

Watching online fighting

21 October 2012

There is something about understanding the subtleties of complex systems that seems paradoxically, to trigger our more animal passions. In may case, these include anxiety (if

Big birds, shiny shoes

5 October 2012

It’s kinda funny that of all the things said in the Presidential debate the one with the most traction relates to Big Bird. Reminds me of my friend’s interest in shiny shoes. It’s always worth remembering this kind of randomness at work when listening to experts who seem very sure

Equity leading to excellence, not the other way

5 October 2012

Steven Downes highlights what he says Americans constantly ignore when studying Finland’s educational success: Decades ago when the Finnish school system was badly in need of reform the goal of the program that Finland instituted, resulting in so much success today, was never excellence. It was equity. – Pasi Sahkberg

The trouble with models.

14 September 2012

David Simoes-Brown reflects on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and wonders about the possible selfishness involved in the top layer of self-actualising. He finds Maslow himself elaborates on this. I was prompted to check the wikipedia entry for criticism and found some closely related argument that the conventional hierarchy reflects an
