Aurora WDC Presents Next Generation Intelligence Analysis for SLA...

5:26 AM

Unknown

Dr. Craig Fleisher, Chief Learning Officer at Aurora WDC and former Dean and Professor at U.S. and Canadian graduate schools of business, will lead a complimentary presentation on Tuesday 17 January 2012 for the monthly live webinar of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) Competitive Intelligence Division (CID). The session is entitled “Next Generation Intelligence Analysis: Applications, Methods and Processes for Elevating Your Organization's Analytical Capabilities and Integrating with Key Intelligence Topics (KITs).”

The next generation of intelligence analysis looks very different from the analysis done in our organizations over the past several years. Driving forces, including the growing complexity of competitive and environmental factors, the global explosion of data available, and the need for alternative cognitive models have brought intelligence analysis to a tipping point. Dr. Fleisher - known by his peers as the "Dean of Intelligence Analysis" - will discuss how analysis practices and processes have been re-engineered to meet the rapidly changing needs of decision-makers based on more than 15 years of research conducted with hundreds of global organizations. Dr. Fleisher will illustrate the many next generation analysis elements, including the development of structured analytical methodologies that unite key intelligence topics (KITs) with analysis techniques in a framework known as KITs+1™. This session will also focus on collaborative insight mechanics driven by Web 2.0 applications such as wikis, and new models for training and development like Analytical Fitness™, developed by Aurora for use with its own analysts and clients.

As Dr. Fleisher explains, “A good analyst surfs along a continuum between tactical and strategic priorities but we find there are a limited number of techniques that most good analysts use - that number is somewhere between six and eight. However, seasoned analysts will use three dozen or more methods.”

Aurora's founder, Arik Johnson, added, “The problem with KITs is they are almost always misapplied by the intelligence practitioners that are only surface-familiar with them. KITs+1 allows us to dig into which analytic methods align best with each of the three KIT protocols, and have a good understanding where their application starts and ends.”

Dan Mulligan, a faculty member in the Department of Intelligence Studies at Mercyhurst, the Pennsylvania college with a world-renowned reputation of developing intelligence professionals for government and business, had more to say about analysis and KITs. “A KIT is not a panacea to solve all of the organization’s issues. A KIT is a specific, focused tasking to accomplish a specific objective.” Mulligan adds, “If we come up with a generic, ambiguous KIT we will have problems applying the appropriate methodology. And we will get to the end of the project, regardless of the methodology used, and have trouble when asking ourselves ‘did this really answer the question?’ One KIT can lead to several projects… we know that intelligence is never 'done' and a good analytic project is going to be the birth of the next project.”

Aurora’s CEO, Derek Johnson, added, “To go from six or eight to as many as three dozen analytical methods takes a lot of training and practice. This is just one example of Craig’s expertise at elevating the analytical capacity of Aurora's clients, as well as our own. We are thrilled to be bringing KITs+1 to SLA's Competitive Intelligence Division to help them perfect the way in which their members align key intelligence topical protocols - Key Marketplace Players, Early Warning, and Strategic Decisions and Issues - with the best analytical methods to enable their businesses to overcome the real-world problems they confront.”

RAFT Collaborates with NYSCi to Explore Potential in Making, Designing...

10:42 AM

Unknown

Resource Area for Teaching (RAFT), a non-profit organization that has been promoting hands-on interactive learning for 18 years, shared it’s expertise on hands-on teaching methods at the "Design, Make, Play: Growing the next generation of science innovators" workshop held at the New York Hall of Science (NYSCi) January 13-14.

NYSCi in collaboration with O’Reilly Media hosted a two-day workshop last weekend to discuss the potential for making, designing and engineering hands on activities in formal and informal learning environments and to build evidence that these alternative programs engage kids in learning.

The seminar brought together scientists, engineers, technologists, learning science researchers, makers, educators and representatives from federal agencies and educational philanthropies to consider how the do-it-yourself mindset can catalyze innovation in Science, technology, engineering and Math (STEM) education.

Mary Simon, Executive Director and Founder at RAFT, was one of the attendees who explored the connection of Making to education. RAFT, a pioneer in hands-on education since 1994, has always focused on transforming teaching through the use of engaging educational activities that inspire the joy and discovery of learning. Describing her experience at the workshop, Mary Simon says, “It was a great workshop. We want kids to get engaged and excited about the relevance of STEM in their everyday lives and to reduce the dropout rate. We need kids to be 'stoked' about STEM education. This is our focus at RAFT where we make educational concepts fun for kids to learn.”

During the event, participants engaged in project based activities, including design challenges, engineering activities, robotics and making. There was agreement that the culture of schooling is at odds with innovation and that kids need to be empowered with the 21st century skills – critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication.

The weekend ended with a thoughtful discussion on identifying the goals of STEM education and capturing the evidence that these goals are achieved. The workshop contributors also discussed ways to assess learning, looking for evidence of knowledge transfer from one situation to another, content knowledge and the ability to build on ideas.

Implementing Living Wages Webinar to Be Presented by International...

9:41 PM

Unknown

In supply chains extending around the world, men and women labor in low-wage jobs, making insufficient income to cover the cost of living. What can responsible businesses do to ensure that workers throughout the supply chain receive living wages? A Webinar presented by the International Society of Sustainability Professionals (ISSP) and featuring a speaker from Social Accountability International (SAI) will explore the implications of wage levels on the sustainability of communities around the world.

Join Matt Fischer-Daly, Senior Manager at Social Accountability International (SAI) for a discussion on Wednesday January 25 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (GMT -8) about how businesses can implement living wages in their global supply chains, and the role of certification standards such as SAI's SA8000®.

This standard is the benchmark against which companies and factories measure their performance. Those seeking to comply with SA8000® have adopted policies and procedures that protect the basic human rights of workers.

Fischer-Daly is an international economic policy and human rights specialist with six-years of experience working in international development programs. He has worked for over five years with SAI on capacity-building programs in CAFTA-DR countries, China and India. At SAI, he also manages SA8000® standard development and guidance, complaint management, and impact assessment and contributes to training and new program development.
