Join the Aotearoa New Zealand launch of Human Learning Systems
There are some exciting shifts occurring in the public sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This podcast episode explores the growing Human Learning Systems movement.
This approach offers insight into future ways of working that take us beyond outdated public management approaches. It can help us consider how we move towards approaches that are better equipped to engage with the complexity of people’s lives and the complex issues we face globally.
Join us on Wednesday 3 November, 9.30am-11:00am NZDT for the Aotearoa New Zealand launch of Human Learning Systems: Public service for the real world.
Introducing Dr. Toby Lowe
Our latest episode, number 29, is with Dr. Toby Lowe on Human Learning Systems - and the show is almost an hour long! So if you're a little bit strapped for time, then we have cut up this shorter episode for you.
What I wanted to do with Toby was explore what it might mean to embrace Human Learning Systems here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
So if you've got a commute or a moment to yourself and you just want to get to the core of what Toby was talking about, then this shorter episode is for you.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
What is Human Learning Systems? And where did this approach come from?
How do we translate Human Learning Systems into language that makes sense in New Zealand - or do we build our own?
Why it’s important to be ‘human to each other’ in a public service setting.
The importance of experimenting to create effective local solutions.
Thoughts on how we can invest our time and energy centrally vs. locally.
