If optimal performance is not a overriding goal in any organization and every individual, there is something seriously missing. Optimal performance may seem like an impractical goal but once we define what it means and explore how to achieve it we see that it is not only practical but essential. In this session we will explore how as an individual one can optimize his or her performance and how this becomes a base for organizational performance excellence.
Learning Objectives:
* Define optimal performance
* Identify the basic elements required for achieving it
* Practice mindfulness as a basis for cultivating optimal performance.

Event: Learning at Work: Training, tacit knowledge, social networking and just-in-time learning
Presenter: George Pitagorsky
Register now
This session addresses formal education as one part of Knowledge Management and identifies how organizations have tended to over emphasize it at the expense of the more important aspects of on-the-job learning, tacit knowledge transfer and, the application of learning and performance measurement. This session explores the critical role tacit knowledge plays in the learning process and how working in teams and in social networks made up of members with different levels of expertise and different perspectives contributes to individual and organizational learning. Just-in-time learning (learning that occurs at the time the knowledge is needed, at work) is defined and methods for enabling it are described.
