- Demo Collab Tools by Barry Kayton - Cognician (https://www.cognician.com/)
- Background instructional designer
- Cognician self-coaching platform and learning methodology help companies to achieve large-scale behavior change. We partner with consulting firms to build change support products for their clients. And we build customized learning and change programs for large organizations.
- 36 leadership competencies
- Process:
- Starts with an assessment
- How well do you manage people?
- How well do you manage processes?
- Arranges 36 competencies based on your assessment results
- Starts with an assessment
- Software based but not artificial intelligence. Partnered with a coaching company for the content.
- Software doesn’t analyze the responses.
- Take coaching models and build half a conversation. The coached person creates the other half. The process walks the person through a process to come up with the solution themselves exactly as normal coaching.
- Software can reach total pyramid while coaching only reaches top of the organization.
- $300/per user per year
- Being Clear, Concise and Compelling by Kraemer Winslow - http://mypcommunications.com/myp/Team.html
- Why?
- Short attention span
- Too much info out there
- If I talk less than I can listen more
- Everything needs to be actionable
- Focal point technique
- Understanding Information Processing and Presentation styles
- Inductive - Specific => General
- Deductive - General => Specific
- Headline Summary first to catch attention
- Understanding Information Processing and Presentation styles
- Where to apply the focal point technique
- practice
- on the spot conversation
- writing emails
- Practice
- Maximum of up to 20sec of information with maximum up to 3 sentences
- Think before responding
- Incorporate question in your answer
- Be deductive - the headline first and then the details
- Do “retakes” - practice / edit your answer over & over
- Another technique to facilitate prompt and appropriate communication is SBAR - Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation
- Think about how you will answer “how’s it going"
- Why?
- Complex Adaptive Systems - What the Hell by Gideon Shaanan
