New Blog: Exploring Success Criteria

My Journey of Transformation: From Architecture to Learning & Development. During a recent networking event, I was asked how an architect like me transitioned to a Learning & Development professional. This isn't the first time I've faced this question. In the past, I might have said I was experimenting with something new, but over the years, my perspective has evolved. For those who've known me for a while, you might remember the days when I designed spaces. However, things changed, and I was fortunate enough to find my true calling: helping others grow and upskill themselves. I've dedicated the last four years to working as a Learning & Development professional with HomeLane, and what an incredible journey it has been! From inducting new batches to now leading the L&D front, the experience has been profoundly fulfilling. This journey has not only allowed me to help others but also to continuously upskill myself, thanks to my mentor Praseeth Kumar, and support from my peers at Image Consulting Business Institute. If you're contemplating a career leap or feel hesitant about taking that first step, remember that your growth is in your hands. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss your career journey or explore how to take that crucial first step! #CareerTransition #LearningAndDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #Upskilling #ProfessionalDevelopment

Believe me... 💡 This course has been more challenging than many others that required programming and coding skills! The reason is simple: it has impacted some of my conditions regarding the ways in which it's appropriate to evaluate and make strategic decisions, and I would add... strategically. Some of the keywords are: ✔️ Authority bias: The tendency to attribute greater importance to the opinions of those in power; ✔️ Cascade effect: The propensity of a group to reach varying conclusions based on who speaks first; ✔️ Noise: Unwanted variability in decisions due to unpredictable and invisible factors; ✔️ Perspective Diversity: The varied ways in which we perceive things; ✔️ Viewpoint diversity: The different positions from which we observe. Noise and BIAS are concepts we are daily discussing for the #AI-related domains but do you know theybare really challenging in the decision-making process? For example, differing answers can be a sign of noise, but consistent answers might signal noise or bias. I know what you're thinking: how can we distinguish bias or noise from accurate evaluation in such scenarios ⁉️ You have some strategies: ✔️ Share judgments anonymously can prevent cascade bias (that's really important); ✔️ Different answers where you don't want different answers is a clear signal of noise especially during the decision making process; ✔️ Evaluate the support of a Decision Observer; ✔️ Be opened for the discussion BUT at the right time: after an initial anonymous vote and review of the debiading checklist; ✔️ Fill an assessment buckets with considering the questions can be useful to identify what really matters. There are some additional concepts, and surely my learning path will take a branch to follow this interesting course. 😊 I hope these tips will be useful for you as well.

Anyone else in the back-to-school mindset? Remember the excitement of new notebooks and fresh pencils (and Trapper Keepers if you are like me and a child of the 70s)? Back to school shopping, new clothes, new classes, new teachers - the excitement of a fresh start. That same energy can build change momentum for your firm. The back-to-school mindset, characterized by preparation, anticipation, and a readiness for new challenges, is not just beneficial for students—it can be a powerful tool for firms who are launching change initiatives. #StrategicPlanning #ChangeManagement #StrategicCommunications #Accounting #AccountingMarketing #WhatsInsideCounts
