Leaders, Here’s to Not Being Normal
- Leaders must have direct and sometimes uncomfortable conversations.
- The bottom line for managers is that there is no one clear path to management success. Managers must clear their own path by embracing the role of leadership
- The Peter Principle states that individuals rise to their level of incompetence. When we promote subject-matter experts into leadership roles, we assume the skills that made them the expert are transferable to leadership

Introduction: Control user access with permissions - Office Support
-
A site collection administrator configures permissions for the top level site or root site for the whole collection.
-
By design, all the sites and site content in a collection inherit the permissions settings of the root or top-level site. If you are a site owner, you can stop permission inheritance for the site, and change the permission settings for the site.
-
Lists and libraries inherit permissions from the site to which they belong. If you are a site owner, you can stop permissions inheritance and change the permission settings for the list or library.
-
List items and library files inherit permissions from their parent list or library. If you have control of a list or library, you can stop permissions inheritance and change permissions settings directly on a specific item.
- Default SharePoint groups
- Best Practices: Group people who require similar access
- It's a good idea to assign permission levels to a SharePoint group, instead of granting individual permissions.

Roles and responsibilities for supporting the site
Your governance model needs to address the following issues:
-
-
-
It’s hard for users to find the right sub-site, or be sure if they have.
-
Information can be duplicated in several sub-sites, using up expensive storage space, and requiring duplicated effort to maintain.
-
Out-of-date information can reside on sub-sites, potentially for years, showing up in search results. It can be hard to tell what version of information is correct.
-
Managing permissions for a multitude of sub-sites can become a major chore, and users might inadvertently wind up with access to information they really shouldn’t have.
-
As employees leave the group, the sub-sites they create may be abandoned, creating confusion and muddying search results for remaining site users.
Being able to spontaneously create new sub-sites can be a great benefit to the group, but unrestricted site creation can get out of hand. When sub-sites proliferate freely, problems can arise. For example:
-
-
-
Who is allowed to create sub-sites?
-
Do new sub-sites need to be approved in advance? If so, what are the criteria for approval, and who grants the approval?
-
Should new sub-sites use established templates and themes?
-
How much information may be stored on a site? That is, how much server disk space can it take up?
-
What are the rules for including navigation strategies on the site?
-
How long should information be stored on sub-sites before it is deleted or archived?
You can save time and energy if you set some policies for site creation that address the following areas:
-
-
-
Follow the Principle of Least Privilege: Give people the lowest permission levels they need to perform their assigned tasks.
-
Give people access by adding them to standard, default groups (such as Members, Visitors, and Owners). Make most people members of the Members or Visitors groups, and limit the number of people in the Owners group.
-
Use permissions inheritance to create a clean, easy-to-visualize hierarchy. That is, avoid granting permissions to individuals, instead work with groups. Where possible, have sub-sites simply inherit permissions from your team site, rather than having unique permissions.
-
Organize your content to take advantage of permissions inheritance: Consider segmenting your content by security level – create a site or a library specifically for sensitive documents, rather than having them scattered in a larger library and protected by unique permissions.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you’re developing a permissions strategy.

Are You Prepared for the Digital Disruption?
- on-demand learning approach can help learning leaders keep up with increasing demands for executive education, professional development and digital learning
- We will see any education establishment that does not have a clear proposition, niche, qualification or brand advantage removed from the market, be that academic or professional training
- Microlearning is leading the charge, where lessons are reduced down to specific skills, and in shorter timeframes — 1 to 15 minutes — depending on the form of delivery
- We chapter lessons into distinct units of learning value
- We are seeing more blended requirements where domain-language or key concepts are delivered on-demand via digital training.
- ‘how do we enable learning to be pulled quickly and easily for our teams — anytime and any relevant skill?
- Mobile and social learning is moving towards metrics.
- Data analytics on student usage of learning assets is incredibly powerful when you use it as insights for the student. For example, ‘you are in the top or bottom 10 percent of learners.’
- The services that will win are those most convenient to executives … without waiting on internal LMS systems or formal processes … on mobile, tablet or laptop devices. In seconds, they can find a lesson that matches the problem they have identified, and push it to their teams. They are able to effortlessly track their teams’ engagement.
- Teams can see each other taking the same lesson, commenting, supporting and competing together. This behavior mirrors real life. It binds the team around solving the same problem as they learn best practices and decide on the solution

Charting the Course Toward Workforce Happiness
- Happiness, as many of you have likely heard time and time again, increases productivity
- high-value company value that can affect results
- That draining culture — what he calls the ‘3 Ds’: dismissing, demeaning and discounting employees’ worth — is taking a toll and giving work a bad rep
- Optimists believe that in the face of challenge, negative events are temporary and local, and that their behavior matters
- Some research claims that happiness is at least partially heritable
- when a manager takes the time to deliver one piece of new and different praise to one person on their team each day, they’re making waves
- At the end of the day, people need to feel valued and that their work is meaningful

Tap the Full Potential of Big Data in Learning - Chief Learning Officer - CLO Media
- The reality is, data analytics is a process of consistent insight.
- disciplined process of strategic measurement where we accurately measure training outcomes, the performance behaviors we’re trying to change and — ideally — the financial impact of those changes.
- front-heavy process
- The heavy lifting of this process is identifying the intended outcomes and impacts of the training, and ensuring that we will have valid and reliable metrics
- The continual analysis monitors those incoming data streams for outliers — over-performers and under-performers — within each individual data stream, and compares each data stream against the others to find strong correlations between training outcomes and impact.
- Two things I’ve noticed are microcontent and badging
- The ability to analyze microcontent — how it is browsed, viewed, downloaded, or shared — provides a very detailed picture of our learners. It’s not just a picture of what they learn; it’s a snapshot into how they learn.
- drill down to correlate the individual learning objective of the microcontent with performance behaviors
- I’ve also seen badging used really well by a number of clients
- really understand what motivates the people in their organizations
- the best examples have all tapped into the strong motivations within their culture, as opposed to just giving out badges for progress or participation
- ability to capture the data behind them
