Kia ora LinkedIn! 🌏 Over the past month, I've been deeply engaged in a range of conversations and collaborations exploring fresh approaches to working together on interdisciplinary projects. Here are a few key themes we've been unpacking: Reflective Practice Through AI 🤖: I’m fascinated by the potential of AI to deepen reflective practice, not just as a learning tool but as a means to unlock new insights and enhance self-awareness. This has led to inspiring discussions around how AI could support professionals, especially in vocational education sectors, in reflecting on and evolving their work. Design Thinking and Systems Approaches 🔄: Design thinking and systems thinking remain central in our projects. These frameworks allow us to explore complex, interconnected issues with a focus on sustainable, regenerative solutions. I'm particularly interested in how these approaches can be applied to leadership and professional development, creating spaces where both individuals and organizations can thrive. Leveraging Technology for Precision Feedback 🎯: Another focus has been developing tools for highly tailored feedback. One project involves creating an app to provide rugby referees with targeted, real-time insights on their performance. This precision feedback model is one I believe could have applications across other fields where nuanced, individualized improvement is crucial. Activity-Based Learning and Development 🏆: In my coaching work, I've been developing practical, activity-based programs aimed at professionals across different levels of expertise. The goal is to create active, hands-on learning environments that adapt to both emerging and experienced professionals' needs. These experiences have reinforced the importance of engaging with collaborators who are open to innovative methodologies, value interdisciplinary insights, and prioritize personal and organizational growth. Oh, my primary collaborators have been be AI. #AIcollaboration #ReflectivePractice #InterdisciplinaryResearch #InnovationInEducation #DigitalTransformation
