Why place still matters in the digital age: Third place working in easy reach...Regus
A new independent research report from ZZA Responsive User Environments has scotched the myth that flexible working means home-working. The report, which was supported by Regus, the world’s largest provider of flexible workspace, combines data from a global 17,000-strong business survey with in-depth qualitative interviews with business people across the world, and demonstrates that working in ‘third places’ – neither office nor home – is the new normal. These ‘third places’ encompass business centres, clubs, libraries and informal areas such as coffee shops. Moreover, the report also reveals that ‘third place’ working brings a wide range of benefits, including improved work-life balance, reduced stress and improved productivity for the employee, as well as cost-effectiveness, scalability and reduced property commitment for businesses.
Authored by Professor Ziona Strelitz, the report notes that, “Today’s dynamic technological, economic and social conditions create opportunities for individuals and pose new challenges for organisations. Attracting and harnessing talent is a central challenge for business. Third place working that enhances the quality of work life supports this agenda.”
What does it mean to be a diversity leader? Over the past several years, diversity has been a hot topic. However, as times change,
and business challenges increase, the term has become a stale reference to check off a list of politically correct requirements.
As leaders in diversity, we are challenged to educate, energize, and excite our organization around diversity initiatives. These
initiatives build the foundation of creativity, innovation, and transformative results. Diversity and Inclusion leaders are key players
on the executive leadership team with the specific responsibility for ensuring that human resources are honored, embraced,
and ready to contribute great value. Diversity and Inclusion leaders are trusted advisors that fundamentally create strategies that
result in corporate cultural transformations to effectively support the mission and vision of the organization. To continue to be
successful and safeguard the great work and efforts of those before you, you must create a brand and image that reflects high
integrity and strong leadership capacity. This workshop will arm you with the skills you need to change your leadership image
and effectively function as a vital part of the leadership vision.
Learning Objective: Diversity leaders create a brand and image that supports and reflects competence and business value.
Outcomes-At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
a. Explore key diversity and inclusion leadership and management skills
b. Understand strategies for building the right brand and image
c. Examine what it means to transform organizational culture
d. Create a personal plan for excellence in diversity and inclusion leadership
e. Explore business challenges that impact diversity and inclusion leaders

A mistagogia é o processo de iniciar os cristãos nos mistérios da fé através da celebração litúrgica. Na Igreja primitiva, os convertidos experimentavam o mistério cristão através do kerigma e dos sacramentos. Jesus ensinou os discípulos sobre o Reino de Deus por meio de símbolos e parábolas. A catequese mistagógica ajuda os fiéis a compreender o valor dos ritos litúrgicos e a se comprometer com o mistério da salvação.

Weaving a personal web (mcelvaney and berge) Sukma Putra
This presentation describes how personal web technologies (PWTs) like social bookmarking tools, personal publishing platforms, and aggregators can be used to create personal learning environments (PLEs) and personal learning networks (PLNs). PWTs allow individuals to customize their own connected learning spaces and networks. When used effectively for non-linear learning, PWTs have the potential to become powerful lifelong learning resources by enabling learners to go beyond what they can learn from their own limited resources. However, there are also disadvantages like distraction, privacy issues, and the risk of echo chambers that need to be addressed for PWTs to benefit learning.
Recognizing Research Technologists in the Research ProcessMatthew Dovey
The document discusses recognizing "research technologists" in the research process. It notes that research is increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary, requiring new skills related to areas like software development, data curation, and ICT training. However, roles that provide these skills have emerged ad hoc without formal recognition. This hinders career prospects for these positions and less efficient research. Solutions proposed include building professional recognition for research technologists, providing professional development and training, and ensuring their contributions are recognized in the research process.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

We conducted a brainstorming session to
generate point ideas in terms of the three
themes. We were able to further align the
concepts into activity themes you see along
the top of this matrix.

prospect students alumni staff/faculty
want to “experience” the potential school. Wish to be what will this be like? who are these new students? want students / alums to succeed
able to picture themselves in the facility and feel insecure about ability to succeed, as personal contacts move on alumni loose contact
functioning with the student body and faculty in order very disoriented at first. 1st quarter is wasted with physical school (even in chicago)
to assist with decision making. some anger over disorganization/lack alumni reach out in order to maintain contact -
communication no auto
Anxious about value of education. Buyers remorse? - want reassurance that this was recent grads feel anxious about continued access to know that students are dissatisfied but don’t have an
correct decision. Why did school accept me? Why trends answer
will i succeed here? attend 1 - 4 conferences per year to stay industry
Really? Karma!
feel no real advisor / too busy trends
Want to compare program with others but find it Curious / overwhelmed by student body. have attempted to create virtual connections with aware of growing competition from business &
difficult to understand the jargon and cut through the Language / cultural barriers inhibit other alumni - some success design schools
“I need to know everything”
corporate message to get at truth. Feel intimidated by some.
Find hard to connect to others
“ID needs positive word of mouth”
technical difficulties staying virtually connected with
school
alumni contact info not up to date
programs all seem same - value student / alumni there are cliques & divisions amongst students: feel instant rapport & respect from other alumni NA
comments as more authentic MDM/Mdes know can contact anyone with positive response
misunderstanding & increases cliches vs shared understanding / process / interests - pride of
breaking them down knowledge
tight connection to “class”
We then grouped some ideas along the lines
if come to ID to visit believe that everyone is hard to understand official class descriptions - confusion over method & class material access after NA
extremely helpful. Was uniformly made to feel
of the stakeholders: students, prospects,
want multiple ways to understand info - graduation
comfortable. Felt the information was candid & particularly to register staff, and alumni. We also gave names net the contacts through seeid &
not using alumni to - get
meaningful. ID jargon gets in way at first
grouped ideas. other networked groups
Found website confusing - different answers in don’t know what other students are doing - no not convinced ID can add value after graduation - NA
different places. auto sharing NO NEED TO VISIT BECAUSE THERE IS
no way to easily record / share links, info, NOTHING I CAN USE
thoughts in shared database like to attend ID conferences
loss of info because not shared with all & not find principles relevant - but a frameworks
Thought income survey very useful. But didn’t have a recorded impractical to implement
can’t connect case histories / methods have tried many things to connect: flickr, facebook, have supported many activities: id wiki, id website,
How fast?
have tried many things to connect: flickr,
Just linkedIN?
clear understanding of what the positions entailed: no time to browse through many databases to get linkdin, alumni chapters, uses email recruit id, design workshops, interviews with
day to day activities, requirements for, career facebook, linkdin, etc
info for projects would like an automatic feed stakeholder
trajectories. anger over inefficiency - can’t feedback/opinion want to share
confusion over method & class material access want job / contact info
after graduation
time starved
“I need fast and easy information”
stressed out over decision
time starved
not clear on alumni net & official organizations for
MDM - competing family obligations
graduates
“What methods should I use and when?”
time starved
must be effortless
pressed for budget
pressed for time
concerned about cost stressed out struggling for personal life balance pressed for staff
confused about criteria concerned about money competing family obligations
hopeful about future dealing with too much info
NA students HOPE alumni network is strong concerned about future direction of school concerned about future direction of school
network vs community - connected by content concerned about maintaining quality of graduates concerned about maintaining quality of graduates
not social - curious about alumni- this grows doesn’t feel ID values feedback/opinions
stronger as closer to graduation
wish alumni job network was more complete

The team did an in class exercise with
scenario planning which revealed further
interesting directions.
26. concept refinement 26
By looking at trends in graduate school communities from our
research, we rated them on significance and uncertainty. We
saw that the ability of the students to customize their outgoing
message and the way business connects to students were our
potential BLIND SPOTS in terms of concept ideas.
