Managing Complex Change… July 17, 2008

Posted by ijduran in : managing change, blc 08 , 2comments I have had some great conversations with some other educators here at the Learning Communities Conference.  One of they threads that I have noticed is the success or failure of different projects.  In preparing for a presenation next week at CASE a colleague of mine, Mike Porter, shared with me a change management matrix.  It is from 1987 and when I saw it I realized that it applies to so many things in life and it can be used for any project or implementation of a new concept or idea.  I have shared this with others and really believe it is a good model to MANAGE CHANGE!  It starts with creating a vision and then having a plan in place to ensure what you want to create is accomplished.

Summer Learning…. July 14, 2008

Posted by ijduran in : Uncategorized , add a comment I am out in Boston right now and one of my goals for this week is keep track of my learning.  I am attending the November Learning Conference.  Some of our staff attended last year and learned a lot.  If you are reading this now it is because I sent an email to you so you can track my thoughts for the week if you choose.  I have struggled with writing in blogs because I just don’t do it enough.  The other part is that I often read other people’s blogs and think do I really have something to share or to even say.  Of course, I know that is just an excuse so here we go!
