Happy@Work: September 2010
http://happyworkplace.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 September 2010. Assess Learning not Teaching. This morning I took part in a trial Ofsted at the secondary school where I am a governor. The inspector commented that, in assessing teachers, the focus needed to be more on learning than teaching. I like that approach. Changing the focus from whether the teacher has carried out the 15 different tasks on the checklist, to the quality of the learning that is taking place has the potential to transform the classroom. A Change in Direction. So stop a...

Happy@Work: Why Economies of Scale Can Lead to Higher Prices
http://happyworkplace.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-economies-of-scale-can-lead-to.html
Wednesday, 24 November 2010. Why Economies of Scale Can Lead to Higher Prices. Once again we have a government talking about saving money through shared services and combined procurement. It seems to make sense. If you buy 100, say, televisions you would expect to be able to negotiate a better price than if you only bought one. The same must be true for when the government buys services, mustn't it? Small Companies Can Provide Better Value and More Flexibility. If the government goes ahead with its deter...

Happy@Work: January 2010

Friday, 29 January 2010. Science says Don't Give Bonuses to Bankers. Just back from Daniel Pink. Who was speaking at the Wired. Breakfast at RIBA this morning about his new book Drive. The key message is that short-term financial rewards, like the banker bonuses, do not produce great performance. Those in the incentivised group took, on average, 3.5 minutes longer to solve the problem. The reward actually increased their 'functional fixedness' and got in the way of creative approaches. Is now just a dict...

Happy@Work: Why Economies of Scale Lead to Poor Service
http://happyworkplace.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-economies-of-scale-lead-to-poor.html
Friday, 26 November 2010. Why Economies of Scale Lead to Poor Service. As the government embarks on programmes of shared services, let me give an example of why this approach can be disastrous. At the local school where I am Chair of Governors we have just gone through BSF (Building Schools for the Future). We were promised the economies of scale would result in better service and lower prices. In fact they have led to the reverse. Shared Services in Training. Rather than getting economies of scale, we c...

Happy@Work: February 2010
http://happyworkplace.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 February 2010. Let People Choose their Managers. The role of managers is to help people perform at their best. Their job is to support, coach and challenge. We all know from personal experience that some managers are great at this, and that others aren't. Check out some of the research: There is the recent study from CMI. That found that 47% of respondents left their last role because they were badly managed. There is the recent US survey. You can choose your 'co-ordinator' and change them if ...
