Communication skills

As my experience as a trainer has increased,i have realized that every competence is a cosmos in itself.

Whatever seems to be mundane,as we dig deeper into it,it reveals dimensions heretofore unexplored.

The same is true of communicaion skills.On the face of it,it seems to be a rather mundane subject.However,the more mundane the subject greater is the opportunity to innovate.

As soon as we expand the scope of communication skills beyond the communication process,the complexity increases manifold.Examining all the interactions that we do in a day ,classifying them and then enhancing them is a rather Herulean task.However,it does reveal new communication dimensions.

The new dimensions of communication are:

• Relationships oriented communication.
• Performance communication.
• Organizational communication.

These dimensions have tranformed communication skills from a rather mundane area of instruction to a critical competency which has a direct bearing on professional and personal effectiveness.

Strategic HR

Strategic HR is a phenomenal innovation in the field of Human Resources.This competency has changed the impact dimensions of a HR professional.

In most organizations operational HR is practiced.This does not have any visible impact on the competitive advantage of the firm.

However,Strategic HR is focussed on enhancing the competitive advantage of the firm through its human resources.This is the biggest leap taken by the HR profession in the last 2 decades.This may transform the HR department into the most important department in an organization.

e-learning

I am conducting a program on,"Business Communication and presentation skills" for personnel who have risen through the ranks. One of the key learning points of this process has been that optimal learning is achieved when we combine class room learning with e-learning.

Work process innovation

the opportunity to generate work process innovations through the application of IT and basic industrial engineering seems to be infinite.Work processes in alot of traditional organizations have gone on unexamined for a long period of time.
This creates wastage and of course missed opportunities.
Application of process mapping tools and the fusion of work processes with IT tools and capabilities yields a treasure of work process innovation opportunities.
Y this is not a focus of organizations is a mystery to me?

Intranet base innovation development system

i have recently facilitated a session on the development of an intranet based innovation development system.It came as a cool surprise to me that the sparks of innovation are visible in organizations but it does take some time to sift through the night to find them. Organizational personnel have tried to develop these systems voluntarily and they run it after they have finished their daily work chores.
Innovation is so critical to the success and growth of an organization so y don't organizations build intranet based innovation development systems which can guide the innovator on the tricky path of innovation and also act as a backbone for the innovation effort in it.
I CAN'T COCEIVE OF AN ORGANIZATION SYSTEM THAT WOULD TAKE UP SO FEW RESOURCES AND YIELD SO MUCH.
