Hello hello all!
I've been running around a little and it seems there could be several things to summarize and reflect ka.
1. A workshop I helped on 'KM/AAR' enabled me to learn more about the following:
- Organizers could learn a whole lot from the preparatory process, using AAR, if they think and reflect more deeply, not only the logistics, but the content required by the key speakers.
- 'Jump-in' technique is what my little team tends to term it, for us to step in while the main speaker is doing the talking, to pose some questions or share comments. This is quite effective if both the speaker and the jump-in person know each other quite well and are open for such an intervention ka. My key speaker welcomed it to say she could elaborate some matters even further or it could be responses for the participants who may not want to ask. I had to focus on the presentation closely while thinking of questions, basically from my own curiosity, which could be the easiest way ka. I only felt then that this technique, though added to some content and mood of the workshop, could hinder participants to think and interact by themselves.
- I noticed the gap between ajarns and support staff, which is a normal culture in many universities....yet, it needs to be bridged for all to be motivated to develop themselves, to benefit from diversity, and to join hands to work toward the shared organizational goals.
2. A meeting relating to 'life-long learning (LLL)and innovation' offered several lights ka:
- LLL needs to be from internal motivation to continue as one person's learning habits. The focus therefore, needs to be on people over tools and platforms though the latter could be used to promote learning at the very beginning for awareness and inspiration, and for joint and individual initial actions.
- Projects and activities could be out of the traditional thinking frame of the institution's main missions to ignite interests and identify hidden potentials in its workforce.
- Face-to-face meetings are more effective when the participants feel safe and relaxed to share their ideas and stories, which could be beyond what's on the agenda. Yet, it could well be linked when managed properly.
- It is a pleasant opportunity to get to know some people in the meeting who are influencers in some way, learning about their thinking and interests. I was very impressed with Ajarn Thanaboonsombat from the National Science and Technology Development Agency. He calls himself, 'Happiness Creator through Knowledge'..... very fun to chat with him and hear his stories ka. He also mentioned about Carl Jung several times, making me rush to search for this person loei. It helps me produce my podcast programs with more quality, especially for November when I've started working on the 'extrovert/introvert' theme.
3. It was the first time to be up close and personal with a junior friend who's passionate with coffee, serving me 'Dirty Coffee' from her coffee shop. Sitting with her to observe how one type of coffee is made amazed me with not just the systematic process and the exact time set but her application being a chemist-turn-barista and the way to appreciate drinking coffee much better.....need more stories to learn and more chill time to drink to get to the taste and flavor kaa!
