Summary

The guest in this episode is the wonderfully authentic, modest, imaginal Paul Greatrix, Registrar ( AKA COO) of Nottingham University; one of the UKs’ biggest universities with over 8,000 staff, 35,000 students and £750million turnover.. so no small outfit. His responsibility is to CREATE operating models and cultural frameworks where everyone at all levels are in learning mode. Leaders in all organisations are finally realising life long learning is no longer a nice to have. Continuous learning and improvement is crucial in this time of continuous and accelerating change So there’s a lot be learned from academia - with its particularly complicated mix of challenges, tensions and the very different needs of stakeholder groups- professional services, academics, researchers - and, of course, students : An ever changing, increasingly hard to please customer based with constant turnover. How does Paul minimise negative disruption and maximise creative opportunities ? Bust through bureaucracy, committee culture and assumed constraints ? Create environments where everyone is incentivised and feels safe to explore, play and create? His answers are refreshingly honest : A bit of guerrilla warfare ( don’t worry no-one gets hurt A lot of bribery ( don’t worry it’s only pizza) Broad and liberal boundaries Sharing learnings way beyond the the walls of his own organisation .. and a bucket load of humour. Because Humour is Human! Be Inspired. Be Imaginal. Be more Human.

    Description: Imagine that every person, has his own story, which contains other people's stories that are repeated in an infinite hyper connection of choices and solutions. This is what I have in my mind, and that I have already started, a map without territories, because the territories must be explored, and these territories are traced by the existence of a person, we can not do anything but discover it, we do not know what she does, what specialty she has, we are there and we follow her we take her as she is, for her real beauty, for her real authenticity.
