@giustinolongo @JSGSPP It's almost like you don't want us to come to class... 🤔

haha, this picture caught my lil guys checking out the ladybugs while they were crawling on their legs (Kai in the Spidey hat, Tiger in the blue) https://t.co/M7xJANwq4X

[City of Regina @CityofRegina]

There are now more ladybugs in #yqr than residents themselves! #buzzonbugs

Great opening talk for the first night of #Pint18 in Regina!

Tiger said he wants to read The Economist so he can "learn about the world". Proud papa

#jsgs882 Thank Jared Dunitz for the engaging presentation and fabulous prizes

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

I finally reach my goal of 10 @TheEconomist articles posted in class! #BestPolicyMagazine. This focuses briefly on the qualities of leadership and some of the generalities in historical leaders (which, unfortunately, are all men). #JSGS882c10 #JSGS882 https://t.co/7LzcadM2ks

Mindfulness has long been a part of the tech world, but it's now being embraced across the world as a whole. However, there is a risk it will become a watered down variant and part of the self-help movement, losing its benefits. #JSGS882c9 #JSGS882 https://t.co/1FPlnkgsvL

A fascinating look at the culture shift at Microsoft under its recent CEO. They pivoted the company away from a reliance on Windows and into new areas, reinvigorating the company and rewarding shareholders. Corporate culture matters. #JSGS882c8 #JSGS882 https://t.co/mTJoWVUVoM

Economists take a look at conflict resolution, using the problem of airline seat reclining as an example. Perception of ownership matters: ""People generally don't like losing things that they have...even something as trivial as a pen" #JSGS882c7 #JSGS882 https://t.co/G9z7K4iirK

This article describes the changes that performance reviews have been undergoing in recent years, not always for the better. Unfortunately, they continue to be plagued by office politics and grade inflation. #JSGS882c6 #JSGS882 https://t.co/WyZ1Gv2H9p

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

For my blog post (article review), I took a look at Pay for Performance in the public service, and touched on how it relates to my own experience #JSGS882 https://t.co/y1n47msJ9J

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

Talks about the increasing backlash against excessive collaboration, including how the costs are difficult to measure and how "Helping people to collaborate is a wonderful thing. Giving them the time to think is even better." #JSGS882c5 #JSGS882 https://t.co/08p8HqLX6k

Artificial intelligence continues to creep into many facets of our lives, but do people know why/how they make decisions? And do we need to in order to trust the technology? #JSGS882c4 #JSGS882 https://t.co/l0nJYkZUMG

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

@nicole__lei @nicole__lei Agreed! Thankfully the boardroom next to me is being stocked with pie as we tweet

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

Continuing my obsession with The Economist, this article discusses how a failure of planning/foresight exacerbates natural disasters. The effects of poor planning are seen in disaster payouts in jurisdictions even decades later. #JSGS882c3 #JSGS882 https://t.co/aoyL3zcK27

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

This article talks about the aversion to talking about moral issues in economics and how issues like paid organ donation could benefit from an economic lens. #JSGS882c2 #JSGS882 https://t.co/DbvG8pI9ZP

@nicole__lei @nicole__lei you da real mvp 💯

Checking out @MichaelEPorter "Five Competitive Forces" for #JSGS882 and was struck by the ubiquitous nature of the forces of competition and how the five forces reward constant innovation and increasing efficiency, while punishing complacency.

An overview of strategic planning https://t.co/9X52x22js5
Reflects briefly on the history of strategic planning and its origins in the military, its heyday/fall, and recent resurgence in a renewed form. But those who will live the future strategy are still disengaged #JSGS882c1

[Jared Dunitz @Laoldar]

Reading @Mintzberg141 "The Fall and Rise of Strategic Planning" https://t.co/A6v9xBWyJ8 for #JSGS882, his point that "innovation has never been institutionalized" really highlights the shortfalls of trying to formalize/dictate new idea creation
