Management : des formations qui marchent « Nous constatons une tendance lourde qui concerne les demandes de formation en management autour de la prise de fonction, des fondamentaux du management, de la professionnalisation des managers hiérarchiques », relève Jean-Pierre Testa, responsable des formations management et leadership chez Cegos. Des formations qui visent à donner des outils à des managers arrivés à ce poste après avoir acquis une certaine légitimité dûe à leur savoir-faire et à leur expertise technique. « Nous travaillons notamment le développement du leadership et les questions de communication interpersonnelle », note Florence Lotz, responsable du pôle développement du leadership et accompagnement du changement chez Devop. Sur ces questions, « les formations longues – 8 à 10 jours – et souvent certifiées », sont particulièrement adaptées constate Jean-Pierre Testa. Quelles sont les évolutions des formations en management ? Transversal, intergénérationnel, à distance Des problématiques individualisées Brice Ancelin

Twitter - my virtual staffroom I don't go into my "real" staffroom very often at school. My mailbox is there so I check it a couple of times a week. Sometimes I go into the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee or tea. I go into this virtual staffroom every morning as I'm eating my breakfast. While I'm at school I don't often have the chance to spend time in my virtual staffroom. When I get home I check through my Twitter stream again. I often think I'd like to meet these people in a real staffroom. Photo Credit: Tiny birds in my hand by Lise
University of the future is here | Story & Education Stories THE way Bill Gates sees it, the university as we know it is an endangered species. Five years from now - on the web for free - you'll be able to find the best lectures in the world, the Microsoft billionaire said last year. And in Gates's opinion this constantly expanding digital smorgasbord of educational choices will be better than any single university in the world. Another giant of the global digital communications revolution has a different spin. In his blog, Sergey Brin, the 36-year-old co-founder of Google, proposes bypassing centuries of scientific epistemology to close the time lag between research breakthroughs in academe and their real-world application. Gates and Brin enjoy a unique perspective when it comes to understanding the impacts - and exceptional opportunities - of new technology: they are steering change from the top. This transition is uneven and how effectively universities adapt as technology continues to evolve will determine their future, McIntyre says.
Challenging Arizona's Ban on Ethnic Studies Share In January 2011, Arizona state Attorney General Tom Horne declared the Tucson Unified School District MAS (Mexican American Studies) program illegal. This despite the curriculum’s astonishing success in graduating 100 percent of its students from high school and obtaining college placement for 82 percent of its alumni. Over the past year, teachers, students and administrators have come together to challenge Horne’s ruling, but on this past January 10, the TUSD school board voted four to one to immediately cease all MAS classes. Horne’s decision entailed the widespread removal of select books that were used in the curriculum. The list of banned books is extensive, includes important Latino authors and activists’ books that were banished from the school system and has provoked particular outrage in Arizona and beyond. My colleague Habiba Alcindor penned a good post detailing the furious and forthright responses of numerous activist groups to Arizona’s efforts to censor ethnic studies.

Are you ready for the second wave of social media? When people ask what the next big thing in social media will be, they’re usually looking for an ascendant platform that will supplant Facebook the way Facebook supplanted MySpace or they’re expecting a feature set, such as geo-location or group messaging. But what if it’s not a network or a tool? What if it’s an application? “Internal social media is the second wave … the future of work is in communities,” said Cisco’s Andrew Warden at this week’s Corporate Social Media Summit. Warden gave the crowd four reasons to start looking at internal social tools: The next wave of employees will expect it. Of course, embracing internal social media will bring me fresh challenges, he notes. How are you using social media within your own company?
