If you'd like to know more about how OneNote Escape Rooms can help in the teaching of business and management students, @CharteredABS have just published my blog post about my @OneNoteEDU HRM Escape Room. Check it out 😀 charteredabs.org/unlocking-the-…

In Manchester for the @CIPD ACE. A very early start from Newcastle, but our Senior People Professionals are excited

Thanks to Matt Wittstein and the Limed team @elonuniversity for their invite to discuss #asynchronous and #hybrid #teaching strategies on an upcoming #podcast 🎙️. The episode for 'Teaching with a Twist' should be out in November/December time. 😁centerforengagedlearning.org/podcasts/limed/

Now time for the Wellbeing Village - @TheCuddleClubUK Dog therapy. This is definitely the best form of wellbeing...

Next up: Beyond 9 to 5 - what is the meaning of work for you? Loving the idea of Meaning Lab Tools to map meaning at work. A great activity for our Senior People Professional learners to do, to map critical points of meaning in their organisations.

First session of the day is Navigating the future: The skills agenda and why does it matter? @CIPD Key takeaway: Only 40% of the workforce intends to upskill in the coming year, despite the widening skills gap, particularly in digital competencies.

Today I'm at the @CIPD Festival of Work at the London Excel. Really looking forward to the talks, networking and I hear there may be doggy cuddle therapy....🤔 Excited to bring lots of ideas and info back for our Senior People Professional programme 😀

It was wonderful to catch up with the lovely @AHappyAcademic today at the BAM MKE conference. Great presentations, great atmosphere and fantastic people. Always love attending this one.

Enjoying being at The Shard for the British Academy of Management, MKE Conference. What a venue for a conference.

Today, I was delighted to present "Using Escape Rooms in Teaching & Learning" to Birmingham University Business School (thank you @KamSuleymenova for the invite) I discussed the how, what, and why of using them, as well as ran a very special Bham Uni edition, created using AI

Lovely afternoon recording for @TheHRCreative with our special guests, @BeadleProf and Dr Sally Wightman. @DrHelenTracey and I enjoyed hearing about their research on "calling", and why HR should be thinking about it. Coming soon.. #podcast #learningandteaching #TheHRCreative

@ChrisONeillHR Massive congratulations, Chris. Lovely photos 🥂

@RosinaGordon On a fine day, I get to see the Tyne Bridge. Totally agree that a nice view makes it better! I hear you, loudly 🥰

I might be odd but... I do love a good view when I'm teaching or between classes and @UCLan really has some great views for a city campus! #AcademicLife #Preston #Lancashire #Teaching #University #AimHigher #UCLan #BusinessSchool

We were delighted to welcome Kayleigh from CIPD Northern to Northumbria University today. She met our Senior People Professional learners, heard all about their development+chatted about the northern networks they can get involved in. Kayleigh is really fabulous! Thank you 👏

We’re thrilled to have achieved huge success in two major league tables released today! @northumbriauni now ranked in the UK top 35 in @compuniguide and the top 100 in the world in @timeshighered Young University Rankings. northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-…

Looking forward to delivering our research on Innovations in T&L at our Professional Learning & Management Education research group today Myself and my co-author will be discussing vicious and virtuous cycles, managerialism and inertia in HE institutions...+bagels and donuts 🤭

Spoke to someone earlier who suggested that there's no need to explain the Kubler-Ross model as a change tool because "Taylor Swift songs cover it all" I'm still coming to terms with that idea. There's a lot going on.

Fantastic research day at the Uni of York, my alma mater, meeting up with my collaborator Tina. She indulged me and let me re-live memories from the early 2000s. 20yrs have passed. York has changed. But, actually, it's still the same 🥰♥️ The spaceship is still standing 🤣🤣

@ian_c_elliott I do this with Newcastle all the time. Even just 1.5hrs each way is just too far some weeks. But, I can't bear to be living out of hotels, when I did that for 8yrs! 😴😴

Thrilled to have attended a @CIPD Spring Reception at Parliament yesterday. Some key opportunities and challenges in the upcoming election, meaning policy forum members have the chance to really make a difference to the future of work.

@Dale_Munday 🤔 This is literally the conclusion drawn from my sabbatical research! Organisational (or Institutional) inertia is stopping educators being innovative, despite the numerous claims institutions make in Education strategies...

@LTHEchat A5 - We first have to engage institutions and staff, then the students. Moving away from traditional approaches is huge task for some where a static culture dominates. #LTHEchat

Q6. How can we engage students in multi-modal and integrated assessment? #LTHEChat
