Introducing the Energy Academy 

For the next few weeks, Sophie is talking to Deanna Anderson who’s the Kaitohu of the Energy Academy  which is working to grow our talent pool in support of a sustainable energy system.  

They start by talking about the legacy learning and development institutions in the sector and whether they’re really appropriate for the needs of our future workforce.

This week they explore what collaboration for innovation really involves.  Deanna’s quite good at forcing the conversation beyond the superficial.

This week she flips to the other end of the workforce and considers who our future role models might need to be and the need to be kind to those who find themselves leading organisations that look pretty different from the ones they started their careers in.

Who’s coaching who in the future?

This week she and Sophie talk about the importance of reverse mentoring where younger workers may need to coach those who’ve been in the workforce for a while and how technology could change the way we pursue and manage productivity.

This week, Deanna’s challenge is that our working environment was designed by men to enhance the productivity, well, of men – and whether that’s going to be ok?
