Podcast Overview
<p>The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

EP#29 Neurodivergence Friction For Good. With guest Mike Bedford.
<p>This week we dive into the world of neurodiversity with our guest Mike Bedford. Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of neurodiversity? <br/><br/>When we think about neurodiversity in the workplace, are we doing enough to ensure people are included? Mike suggests there is no one size fits all and focusing on building strong relationships that build trust is important. Ask the tough questions to include individual needs. We need to empower people to have the conversations that will help us all to get the best performance possible. <br/><br/>Thanks to Mike for sharing his experiences and thought-provoking insight and practical ideas to encourage inclusion without exception. <br/><br/>As ever, if you want to further the conversation with our guest, please connect with Mike using the links below: <br/><br/>Mike Bedford <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikebedford/'>linkedin.com/in/mikebedford</a></p><p>Mike's company website <a href='https://beebrilliantpeople.com/'>beebrilliantpeople.com</a><br/><br/>Mike's Bee Brilliant People podcast episode with Michelle Parry-Slater <a href='https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-bedford/episodes/Episode-13-Michelle-Parry-Slater-e1brtee/a-a7bm2ja'>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-bedford/episodes/Episode-13-Michelle-Parry-Slater-e1brtee/a-a7bm2ja</a></p><p>____________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Learning from the Edges is hosted by Michelle Parry-Slater, Director, Kairos Modern Learning.<br/><br/>Michelle is the author of <em>The Learning and Development Handbook -</em> a practical guide for all professionals looking to offer effective, efficient, enjoyable and engaging people development, but not sure where to start.

EP#28 Are We Agile Enough For AI and Humanity? With guest Toby Harris.
<p>Be bold! In this week's conversation with guest Toby Harris from Filtered, we are encouraged to consider the big picture and take a leap, be that in experimenting with AI or considering people and culture. Skills are only possibilities, suggests Toby. Intriguing. <br/><br/>As someone who has been working with artificial intelligence since before it was the buzzword of today, Toby brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, not just about the potential of AI in our industry, but also helps to identify what we need to get right before we attempt to replace our current systems to enhance productivity. <br/><br/>Toby encourages us to prioritise people, processes and systems, inspired by Bruce Schneier <a href='https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/01/people_process.html'>https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/01/people_process.html</a> <br/><br/>Toby also mentioned John Seddon's Failure Demand and Value Demand, from Seddon's 1992 book <em>I Want You To Cheat</em>. <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Want-You-Cheat-Unreasonable-Organisations/dp/095197310X'>amazon.co.uk/Want-You-Cheat-Unreasonable-Organisations/dp/095197310X</a></p><p>Thanks to Toby for his insight this week.
