What does craft brewing tell us about a future public sector career?
The drivers behind the consumer thirst for craft beer and employee desires for more open career paths are similar and worth exploring.
Workforce infrastructure is critical to performance
The principal barriers to workforce transformation are change-resistant leaders and insufficient knowledge and talent to reshape workforce structures and systems to meet the new environment. In a competitive labour market, the workforce won’t wait long.
The importance of learning to transformation
The position of work in our lives is significant, so learning through work potentially makes a disproportionately large contribution to the growth and identity of the individual. Do we need a better approach to L&D at work?
The unending quest for the ‘perfect’ organisational culture
The perfect culture promises unimaginable employee engagement, performance, and productivity benefits. However, the quest seems to have no end, and the longed-for benefits seem just as unattainable. What if our quest is based on a false assumption?
Striving for a common sense view of organisation
Reform, change and adaptation are sweeping the public and private sectors alike. We need a commonsense view of our organisations that doesn’t rely on the machine model.
We must do more than just polish the parts to improve organisational performance
Our greatest challenge is to think past the comfort of our own experience of work to entertain the possibility that the way we work could be better.
