Show notes here. In this episode, Ziz and Pam discuss what it means to be a lifelong learner. Given the rapid pace of technological change in our world, students need to R.E.A.D. The 'R' stands for responsibility. It is the student's responsibility to upskill and continually learn new ways of doing things so that they can adapt to changing environments. The role of parents and teachers is to step back and facilitate their learning. We no longer follow the 3-part model of school, work, retire. Lifelong learning is about teaching students how to learn, not what to learn. Students need to be agile and gain the employable skills needed to withstand the test of time. RESOURCES: Our Children Need to R.E.A.D to Succeed in the 21st Century R.E.A.D. Framework David Deming - Harvard study of STEM majors and the importance of upskilling.

Viktor Frankl: Freedom Dr. Ai, Iceberg model - knowledge, life skills, mindset What If No Summer Job or Internship is an Opportunity? To Gap or Not to Gap Tim Salau and Mike Gates GUIDES QUOTES: Pam: "The struggle is growth. We only grow during times when we're really struggling, struggling to push forward. And it's what propels us forward." Pam: "You can do college in many ways now. In different places, parents, educators, and businesses are creating these environments where kids can go and explore while they're in high school and begin to get those experiences so that they don't have to take a gap year. They figure this out during their teenage years by working part-time jobs by doing internships. Particularly with disadvantaged students, we've got to mentor up, create the umbrella of mentorship and guides that they can tap into." Pam: "I just believe so strongly in honoring the unique individual, honoring their ability to do R.E.A.D. and discover their meaning. Our job is to create diverse, multigenerational, and experiential environments that allow them to do that."

HR News Flash *Intro music* This is your HR News Flash for Monday, October 22, 2018, your weekly briefing on talent management and the world of work. And this week we’re trying something a little bit different by kicking off the week with a Facebook Premiere of the HR News Flash so we can watch it together at the same time and you can ask us your questions and talk with each other about the Flash Briefing itself. It’s a test and we’re excited to see what you think! As always, to read more about related workplace topics, please visit the HR Certification Institute Blog, HR Leads Business, at HRCI.org. — *spooky music* Are monsters hiding in your workplace? Are Jekylls and Hydes poisoning your organization’s culture? With Halloween upon us, let’s talk about the spookiest challenge faced by employees: the Bad Boss. A new study, conducted by job board Monster, finds that 3-in-4 workers now have or recently had a toxic boss. Respondents described bad or “toxic” bosses as being power-hungry, micro-managers, incompetent and “just never around.” What does a good boss do? ”To maximize employee engagement, a manager should be both a coach and a mentor,” says HRDIVE. “And to attract and retain staffers, managers must be capable of having regular career conversations. The responsibility has never been greater for those who oversee employees.” — In related news, experts say that managerial performance is an overlooked area for business growth. The truth is, most people are promoted to managerial positions without much training on people management skills. A survey of 500 managers conducted by West Monroe finds that the many managers – especially those with a small number of direct reports-- say they’ve had zero managerial training. If they do receive training, it’s while they are already on the job, not before they start their new management role. “With these findings in mind, executives can better understand the importance of quality training for their managers – especially if they want them to better contribute to the organization’s bottom line and help insulate the business from economic volatility,” West Monroe advises. — So, how do you ensure your company has managers and values with more treats than tricks? Companies and HR teams need to look beyond the standard attraction and retention benefits such as pay, vacation time and work-life balance. Workers now seek “relationships and respect,” cultures that allow them to reach their “fullest career potential” and corporate cultures free from negative office politics, finds Randstad US. In its study of more than 700 employees, 86 percent said “they would not apply for or continue to work for a company that has a bad reputation with former employees or the general public.” Most also go to news and social media sites to check on an organization’s reputation. “Today’s workers have high expectations — and the tight talent market suggests employers should be listening closely,” said Jim Link, CHRO of Randstad North America. “While salary and PTO will always be factors in attraction, engagement and retention, the intangible benefits and day-to-day experiences at work have risen in importance.” Today’s workers are placing greater emphasis on boss and peer relationships, emotional support and other lifestyle factors. If your company is seen as a haunted house, employees with go elsewhere. HRCI is addressing these challenges by introducing a new suite of micro-credentials to help HR and non-HR professionals develop vital people management skills. Called HRCI upSkill, each micro-credential and micro-learning module is delivered 100 percent online and focuses on specific tactics to help you reduce people management risks and optimize talent to drive business success. — Well, that’s your HR News Flash for Monday, October 22. Thanks again for listening to the HR News Flash from HRCI.

SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
It's an annual TechEd tradition: my SAP TechEd skills chat, taped live from the Expert Lounge. Although there was some crowd noise, this recording came out pretty well and captured a range of views during a short 17 minute recording time. Since a major theme of the future of SAP technical skills is the convergence of functional and technical skills, I was fortunate to have SAP Business Process expert Jim Link amongst the participants in the taped discussion.
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
During this 20 minute podcast, Jim Link of Forest City gives me the project-tested scoop on many key BPX topics, including: how does a BPXer justify their value to the business, who do they report to, what role do process modeling tools play, and what SAP technical and functional skills do they need to succeed in the SAP Business Process Expert role. Obviously, there are no universal answers to these questions - they are still being sorted out on a company to company basis. But for those listeners who want to understand how the pure BPX role can fit into the existing SAP personnel structure, and interact with Enterprise Architects, I trust you'll find this conversation as interesting as I did.
