Immersive Learning Gaining New Ground

-
The L&D Summit and Awards is the largest forum in the country for Learning and Development professionals. It serves as a great platform for professionals to converse and deliberate upon the current trends and the future of L&D effectively as well as gain insights on a wide range of topics such as creating an integrated ecosystem of learning, L&D in the gig economy, designing L&D for lifelong learning etc. Myndscope was extremely privileged to be a recipient of ‘The Most Innovative Learning and Leadership Program’ of the year (2019).

Myndscope provides innovative learning programs such as ‘Just GOlf For It’, a golf based leadership program that enhances understanding of action, reflection, strategy and decision-making. Other programs include ‘Tie-Brake’ that focuses on structure, skills and sustainability at work as well as ‘Adventure Leadership Camp’ where soft adventure activities and management games are used to develop leadership skills, conflict management, communication and team-wor


It was also an honor for Myndscope Immersive Learning to be able to participate in this year’s summit as one of the prominent speakers in a panel discussion on ‘L&D in the Digital Era’. Our co-founder and lead coach, Mr.Afeef Ahmed was present as a speaker in the panel discussion. We were able to talk about developing the digitally connected workforce and making L&D a strategic lever for business.The panel members discussed the impact of technology, abundant information and the digital medium  Some insights put forth were as follows:

.
We can all agree that there is information overload at all levels due to the sheer amount of knowledge that is available in this digital era. Technology has made information abundant but without effective management there are no benefits to be attained. By creating an immersive environment where participants are engaged wholly - mentally and physically - learning is a sure bet.

One aspect that impacts learning outcomes is an employee’s learning aptitude. No matter how immersive or hands on the trainings are, an employee with no desire to learn is unlikely to take in any information. What is crucial is making an employee understand that they have stakes in the trainings and that it can impact them personally.


Overall, it was wonderful being a part of this event, meeting like minded people, sharing ideas, gaining insights and most importantly getting recognised for our hardwork.

THE FEARLESS ORGANIZATION (Part 1) - Importance of Psychological Safety

-
Image
Image source: HR Magazine Haven’t we all been in a situation where we were scared of being perceived as stupid and have therefore held back our opinions and ideas – especially at school or work? This seems to be a painfully common as well as natural phenomenon, simply because whatever you say is constantly under scrutiny by everyone else. Studies show that people frequently hold back even when they think what they have to say could be extremely important for the organization. What more, people often regret being silent and this results in unreported problems, missed opportunities and tragedies that could have been easily avoided. But imagine being in a setting where all your ideas are welcome, you feel safe to take risks and ask questions sans judgement. An environment wherein the employees are allowed to let their guard down so that speaking is enabled and even expected– is called psychological safety. Google conducted a large-scale research called Project Aristotle to f...

BRAND ME - What's does your personal brand say?

-
Image
" Bhaiya  (brother)   one pack  Pampers  please " - a simple request I heard from a customer standing next to me at a departmental store, to the shopkeeper.  Almost spontaneously, the shopkeeper asked... " which Pampers ?" To which the customer said, " XYZ   (not mentioning the actual brand name here)   Pampers  please". And very quickly the shopkeeper pulled out a pack of diapers of a different brand, to hand it over to the customer. I then made my purchases at the store and strolled down the lane on my way home, pondering over this little interaction between the customer and the shopkeeper.  The customer brought a diaper of a different brand, while the diaper itself was referred to, by a different brand name! Since when did  Pampers mean DIAPERS ?  I wasn't sure if this was absurd or just simply brilliant! A common noun replaced by a proper noun, as my English teacher would have said it! The thought was still running in my mind, a...

WHAT MAKES AN ORGANIZATION, 'FLOW'?

-
Image
Remember the time when you were so engrossed in activity that you forgot the existence of the world around you? Like when you lost track of time while reading a book, when you were playing that video game and forgot to eat, or when you were so absorbed in a sport that afterward you couldn’t really remember the details? Well there is a word for it – Flow! Flow means being so involved in a task that nothing else matters. The doer when in a state of ‘flow’, also known as the zone, finds the task at hand enjoyable and relatively effortless as if every action arises seamlessly from the last. And what more, when you are in the zone, you over(flow) with productivity! The concept of flow was introduced by positive psychologist Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi (me-hi chick-sent-me-hi) who was a prisoner in World War 2 and witnessed a lot of suffering. This sparked curiosity in him about what makes people happy. He concluded that happiness is an internal state that takes committed effort and can...
