The term Pedagogy and pedagogue come from the Greek paidos ‘boy, child’ plus agogos ‘leader.’ We tend to usually say something is ‘pedagogical’ if it is easy to understand and teach. The underlying assumption is that if it is easy for children it is easy for adults to learn.

But the thing is adults and children don’t learn the same way. There is another similar word ‘Andragogy’ that describes how adults learn.

Previously I wrote a post on the use of Appreciative Inquiry and the role of coaching in managing individual stakeholders in an organisation. This is effective on a individual level, but as organisations grow the communication points increase and become highly complex

Often you need a way to view the entire landscape of stakeholders in order to develop a strategy for implementing design efforts. I have found that viewing organisations as systems can help identify the key stakeholders, their relationships, and help develop a strategy to implement design from an organisational perspective.
