The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

    EP#29 Neurodivergence Friction For Good. With guest Mike Bedford.

    Send us a text This week we dive into the world of neurodiversity with our guest Mike Bedford. Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of neurodiversity? When we think about neurodiversity in the workplace, are we doing enough to ensure people are included? Mike suggests there is no one size fits all and focusing on building strong relationships that build trust is important. Ask the tough questions to include individual needs. We need to empower people to have the conversations that will help us all to get the best performance possible. Thanks to Mike for sharing his experiences and thought-provoking insight and practical ideas to encourage inclusion without exception.

    EP#28 Are We Agile Enough For AI and Humanity? With guest Toby Harris.

    Send us a text Be bold! In this week's conversation with guest Toby Harris from Filtered, we are encouraged to consider the big picture and take a leap, be that in experimenting with AI or considering people and culture. Skills are only possibilities, suggests Toby. Intriguing.   As someone who has been working with artificial intelligence since before it was the buzzword of today, Toby brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, not just about the potential of AI in our industry, but also helps to identify what we need to get right before we attempt to replace our current systems to enhance productivity.  Toby encourages us to prioritise people, processes and systems, inspired by Bruce Schneier https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/01/people_process.html Toby also mentioned John Seddon's Failure Demand and Value Demand, from Seddon's 1992 book I Want You To Cheat.  amazon.co.uk/Want-You-Cheat-Unreasonable-Organisations/dp/095197310X Thanks to Toby for his insight this week.

    EP#27 Reducing Friction with Human Centred Design. With guest Kim Tuohy.

    Send us a text When looking for solutions to friction, are we just overlooking the obvious? If we design work around the humans, if we communicate better and if we show more empathy, surely we can remove some of the unwanted friction we face? Humans are vital for the running and development of our workplaces, and creating friction free workplaces from a place of love, even in disagreement is our guest's focus.  We are joined by the incredible Kim Tuohy, who runs Belvista Studios. Kim shares her thoughts and experiences when implementing human-centred design both for big businesses and with her own team. This episode is one of love and kindness, which offers a new lens for the Learning From The Edges research.  Be sure to listen out for Kim's PAUSE framework that helps us to be more aware and  less emotional in  our reactions: Pause for an opportunity Assess what's happening Understand the true reality See a better way Experiment for a better outcome Then pause again. To further the conversation find Kim on the following: Kim Tuohy linkedin.com/in/kim-tuohy Website belvistastudios.com And finally, we are now coming to the end of our year-long research, or are we? Do you have a story about friction at work which needs to be shared? Do you have a new lens we have not looked through? Get in touch and let's talk! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning from the Edges is hosted by Michelle Parry-Slater, Director, Kairos Modern Learning.

    EP#26 Is there room for friction within intentional EX design? With guests Emma Bridger and Belinda Gannaway.

    Send us a text When designing your workplace, are you thinking about the friction? Maybe you are tempted to remove as much of it as possible? Or could it be that you actually look to keep points of conflict to help you strive for success?  Intentional design is a difficult question to answer, which is why I was so pleased to have the co-authors of Employee Experience By Design join me to discuss how we think about friction when we design work.  Friction can be described as a force for good, helping you to embrace the challenges work throws at you, allowing you, your colleagues and the wider business to improve; yet the other side of the coin will tell you that friction is that resistance, stopping you from making meaningful change because of the difficulties we face. As ever, to continue the discussion with our guests be sure to find their contact details below; and if you're keen to learn more, why not grab a copy of their excellent book, now in its 2nd edition.

    EP#24 Creating a Love of Learning and Friction Within Education. With guests Amy Brann and Jamie Slater.

    Send us a text This week we take you back to the classroom as we discuss and explore the frictions within the UK education sector. In this wide-ranging conversation with a teacher, Jamie Slater, and a home-schooling parent, Amy Brann, we explore the real races in education. Jamie is a fantastic educator (but I am biased, as Jamie is also my husband), who shares his insights from working in education with strict government guidance. He also uses his love of his area of expertise to teach classes more effectively, preparing young people with life skills for work. Amy has explored the world of home schooling and shares the way her approach to feeding curiosity has helped to grow a love of learning in her daughter that we can all aspire to. Our guests help us to consider many questions which link education and workplaces. Why do we seek to teach how to absorb and recall knowledge, especially now with the advances of AI? Should we nurture an explorative curiosity where students are encouraged to follow lines of interest in what they are learning about? Stifled by the system, is it workplace expectations which are holding the education sector back?    For all these and more, listen in and then take the conversation further by following our guests via the links below.
