OLKC 2017 Knowledge Panel

<h3 style="color:blue;">
 Scholar-Practitioner Panel – Inspirational Learning</h3>

 27th April_ 4 pm. Auditorium, Palacio de Congresos Conde Ansúrez, Valladolid, Spain

 The panel session embraces the OLKC 2017 conference theme of “Inspirational learning” and invites a panel of academics and practitioners to come together to discuss aspects of inspiring people. This theme addresses one of the most crucial issues facing organizations today: The management of change, the encouragement of innovation, and the development of singular or talented people. But what does it mean to be inspirational? How do leaders become inspiring? Why people may be inspiring? Why may not? What inspiring people do? Do emotions fuel inspirational learning or inspirational learning mobilizes emotions? As a forum for exploring these questions and others, a scholar-practitioner panel session will be held. This session will include leaders and practitioners from industry and government, leaders who grapple on a daily basis with implementing organizational principles to solve real-world challenges. In dialogue with these practitioners, senior scholars will interweave their knowledge of theory, research and other successful practices in discussing a high-priority learning issue.
