Insights from the #bbgforum “creating the humanised workforce with Craig Saphin and Steve Borlow


 


 I have posted a post on linked in - here is the post... feel free (it would be great ) for you to post a comment or a picture or a thought in the comment and share


The firestaters

  
There is  an amazing pool of talent talking the future of work ... the purpose of work ….the development of human evolution .... diversity equity and inclusion #dei …

There is an ovwhelming sense of optimism of humans and machines working together 

 What are the things you can do to "humanise the workforce

 Steve Barlow - talked about the  paradigm Shifts that  are making work more humanised ? 

Optimism, Collaboration, Release, DEI , Distributed workforce and More Flexible 

 Craig Saphin - talked about recruiting and retaining talent

how do corporations get the brightest and the best ... .people are snapping up talent - because the winning organisations know that they need to have the brightest and best people on their team 

#talentmanagement retraining , reskilling, repositioning people in organisations

Bill McLellan - Supporting the idea of doing what we and or machines do best is a key part of the workplace evolution. 

 Knowledge and Power 


 Claudia Perry-Beltrame-  Knowledge sharing is still a challenge for many managers and leaders because of the belief that knowledge is power. 

 Ivan Kaye - its no longer knowledge thats power - its abundant - the power is in the collaboration around the knowledge and the ability to influence methinks 

 Tyrel McAllister That's a fair point Ivan. we have never had access to such copious quantities of knowledge. Perhaps there is additional power from the quality of knowledge. Lot of junk data out there now. 

 Claudia Perry-Beltrame, Dharawal Country - I agree Ivan, though many people are not yet at this stage of their development that they can trust in abundance. Our society is very much geared towards scarcity. 

 Rob Nankervis - Might the new world actually 'exclude' different groups: those with less access to tech, older workers ... 

 Tyrel McAllister -  The economy of scarcity was put to the test with NFTs and Crypto, which by their very nature are not limited in quantity. It will be interesting to see how the crash in cryptocurrency affects the economy as a whole.

Why do people go to work? Purpose , Values

 Ivan Kaye:- what is work about - why do people go to work.... is it to increase productivity for the corporation .... or is it to help you grow ... to learn... is it about being lifelong learning ? is the future of work about a learning organisation for its stakeholders? why do people go to work?.... is it to increase productivity for the corporation (thats not why the employee works) .... or is it to help you grow ... to learn... is it about being lifelong learning ? is the future of work about a learning organisation for its stakeholders? 

 How do you align the values , wants and needs of all stakeholders? 

 For corporations to win and attract the brightest and the best to create products and excellence for the organisation - learning will be a lot more important than getting paid 

What is your PURPOSE ? WHat is your PULSE? ours ... is to help you create and achieve your generational legacy What is transformational Leadership? - communication.... and Listening is as important - Listen and silent have the same letters - 

Claudia Perry-Beltrame, Dharawal Country - As a leader need to know how your personal purpose connects to organisational purpose. The leader with a divergent personal purpose can derail the organisational purpose. - 

Empower people .... let them act and make mistakes - there are more than one way to achieve a goal - Problem solve - business is all about solving problems - small problem - small businesss - big problem - big business - EQ is key - LEADER Listen, EQ, Attitude, Determination, Energy and Resilience 

 SAFETY IS KEY 

 Ivan Kaye - people need to have the ability to fail - people need to be comfortable to fail to be creative 

 Claudia Perry-Beltrame, Dharawal Country - Psychological safety is critical for people to speak the truth and that honesty helps a transformation. 

 Ayon - Biz Growth Spurt to Everyone: = Managing fear of being replaced by machines 

 Rob Nankervis to Everyone: - Interesting to consider hiring for future needs when many companies can't cover current needs. Will fishing in a different and new pond yield better results? 

 Ivan Kaye our value system is around TREAT Team First , Respect, Energy and ENthusiam (passion) , Adventure (creativity - take risks - as the team has got your back ) and TRUST - without which you have nothing 


 Claudia Perry-Beltrame, Dharawal Country - Transformational leadership is needed and yet so rare. Its one of the reasons why transformation still fail. 

 Ayon -  - We should encourage 'disruptive' employees that think differently to the rest to present their ideas rather than cultivating an environment of uniformity. 

 Mark Purbrick - Can the value of human capital be objective? Can we value Human Capital in the balance sheet? 


Bill Mclellan - we need to engineer a future for ourselves and the people we choose to lead ayon - we need to focus on unique capabilities of humans to make tech work for us - machines cannot inspire and lead humans - not yet!! 

 KEVIN hEYS - THREE 'I"s Integration, Integrity and Innovation....ie diversity, scale, local and international and equity, Integrity - trust trust morals . Innovation... fit for present and future tense. 

 Muhammad Hadi - academic programme director from University of Wollongong - there is a place for risk averse and no risk - where you need to follow standards... teach students to use these standards ..... think surgeon performing a heart transplant or an engineer building a bridge there is also a place for risk, breaking through and #innovation - why dont people take advantage of learning for free??? 

Knowledge is abundant.... maybe a key to learn - is to learn how to learn ?? 

- pay vs fremium ... people will pay when engaged

 Mark Purbrick unpacking the thinktank 

Jackie Baroni we cant afford to put people into boxes.
 Everybody has different driving ambitions.. people who do menial tasks - maybe they love what they do. 

 How do people be heard in the workplace?

 people don’t care how much you know before they know how much you care. 

 Kevin Heys - transformational leader - focuses on the human - a manager focuses on the transaction

 Ayon Bhattacharyya, Exec MBA unpacking the think tank 

 1. learning and psychological safety - easy to get knowledge - how we can learn - from anywhere - take courses globally - proliferation of SAS propoositions .   Duolingo IS AGAME CHANGER .. learning on demand, lifelong learning is the future - reskilling and relearning, organisations that win will be those that can facilitate learning for its teams.. 

3 year courses are history /TOAST

2. Its not just about the learning - but how you use this info . 

3. the application of tech for leadership - to make us better leaders. 

 4. psychological safety -  where can machine learning go - what if they can act without humans - psychological safety ?- humans have a unique capability of being human -What makes us as humans unique? 

5. how to make tech work for the human . What makes us as humans unique? What can machines not replicate? Creativity? Innovation? Problem solving? We need to provide psychological safety to enable risk taking and manage the fear of replacement by machines. 

 this forum was perfect because of its imperfections!! Bill McLellan
