    74. Beyond Coding: How AI Is Transforming the Way We Make Meaning

    You’re sitting at your desk, staring at a mountain of interview transcripts. Hours upon hours of human stories. Contradictions. Emotions. Moments of confusion. Moments of clarity. Everything that makes qualitative data so beautifully complex… and so incredibly time-consuming. You stretch your shoulders. You breathe in. Likewise, you prepare for the long, slow, careful journey ahead. And then — someone else pulls up a chair. Someone who reads your transcripts in seconds. Someone who instantly suggests themes, highlights patterns, and summarizes ten interviews faster than you can sip your espresso. But this “someone”… doesn’t understand any of it. They don’t grasp cultural nuance. They don’t know your theory. Furthermore, they certainly don’t know your participants. This “someone” is AI. And suddenly the big questions appear: What does it mean to bring AI into the deeply interpretive world of qualitative research? What do we gain? What do we risk? And how does it change the way we, as researchers, make sense of the world? That’s where we’re going today. We’re talking about something that feels both exciting and a little unsettling: What happens when artificial intelligence joins us in qualitative research?  Uncover even more insights and valuable information by visiting the blog profmanagement.de.

    73. The Secret Knowledge Management Skills Every Teacher Masters

    Picture this: It's 2 AM, and Professor Maik is sitting in his office, surrounded by stacks of research papers, sticky notes covering his monitor, and notebooks filled with half-finished ideas. He's preparing for tomorrow's lecture but can't find that brilliant insight about team dynamics. It's somewhere in his notes, but where? Sounds familiar? This scenario plays out in workspaces worldwide every day. We're drowning in information, yet starving for knowledge. But what if the solution isn't just better filing systems or productivity apps? What if it lies in understanding how we can become better knowledge managers ourselves? In this episode, we're exploring how teachers have become the unsung heroes of knowledge management, and what the rest of us can learn from their approach. Teachers don't just deliver information – they're sophisticated knowledge managers who create, organize, share, and evolve knowledge daily. The strategies they use can revolutionize how any of us handles information professionally. References: Mayowa-Adebara, O., & Enakrire, R. T. (2024).

    70. Navigating Resistance to Change: Practical Strategies for Social Work Leaders

    Today, we're diving into a topic that affects every organization, every team, and quite frankly, all of us – resistance to change. As Waldman and O'Reilly (2022) found in their research, resistance to change is one of the main reasons why up to 70% of organizational changes fail to achieve their desired results. We will unpack why this happens and, more importantly, how you can successfully navigate it – especially in social work settings where the stakes are often incredibly high. Reference: Anderson, D. L.
