As the #ICIS2024 deadline approaches, I thought sharing an IS Classic on Information Systems as a reference discipline + the MISQ Insider interview with Richard Baskerville and Michael Myers felt about right. The article: https://lnkd.in/eE27nA43 The insider interview: https://lnkd.in/epE6wrhT The citation: Baskerville, R. L., & Myers, M. D. (2002). Information systems as a reference discipline. MIS Quarterly, 1-14. The abstract: The conventional wisdom amongst information systems (IS) researchers is that information systems is an applied discipline drawing upon other, more fundamental, reference disciplines. These reference disciplines are seen as having foundational value for IS. We believe that it is time to question the conventional wisdom. We agree that many disciplines are relevant for IS researchers, but we suggest a re-think of the idea of “reference disciplines” for IS. In a sense, IS has come of age. Perhaps the time has come for IS to become a reference discipline for others. #misq #bangkok2024 #ais

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that our paper has been accepted for publication at #AMCIS2024! 🎉 📚 Title: Technology-Based Learning Services for Transferable Skills – A Systematic Literature Review 👩🔬 Authors: Eva Zahn, Sofia Schöbel, and Matthias Söllner Abstract: In today's fast-evolving world, driven by digitalization and globalization, employees must adapt swiftly to new challenges. Transferable skills, such as digital competencies, are crucial for navigating the modern labor market. However, traditional learning methods often fall short for these action-oriented, non-technical skills. Our systematic literature review explores the current landscape of technology-based learning for these skills, identifies research gaps, and offers practical insights for leveraging technology to teach them. While digital problem-solving training is advancing, many other skills still need robust digital learning solutions. 📅 Event: 30th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 📍 Location: Salt Lake City, USA 📆 Date: August 2024 Join us as we delve into the future of digital learning at #AMCIS2024! #TransferableSkills #DigitalLearning #InformationSystems

Pioneering Innovation is the unquestionable rubber-stamp proof of the truly great tech educators... the ultimate way of rubbishing the narrative that "those who can't (do), teach." Who ever said that... yuck! Dr. Daniel Coore totally blew our minds when he used a pig heart pumped with (what seemed like kool-aid) liquid and alot of valves and alot of codes to simulate Open Heart surgery.. but when his innovation was adapted by the likes of John Hopkins University.... that took our pride in our own Computer Science professor to another level. My key take away from that was that to remain relevant to my students, I must always be leading on the front lines of relevant innovation,  and despite this being some 5 years old (having launched the Sustainable Development Goals for UN some time in 2018) I'm still proud (and excited) to know that we solved for a meaningful and recurring problem... communication with 0 data. Reflecting on something Dr. Coore shared with me in the past, this would not be my first innovation... far from it actually as I've paved the way with innovating technology camp experiences, innovating on teaching methodologies that communicate large volumes of information to large groups in short time spans but most relevantly I've innovated in my field of study, certification and mastery...technology. The one thing I would say to anyone on the path of innovation is, pick a problem you love and are proud to look back at the sleepless nights that went into your Research and Development years and be proud. See you at the UNDPs conference on Oct 17 but also, keep an eye out for my @askmarkscott handle on all socials as I will be releasing alot more of my innovations... not just the ones that are umpteen years old. https://lnkd.in/etRwEm2P Sources:  https://lnkd.in/eDHcGc5D https://lnkd.in/eS__Sdzg

It’s been an extremely busy fall so I’m a bit delayed in sharing some of the insights and inspiration I had at the American Evaluation Association (AEA) conference in Indianapolis. Here are some key takeaways that stood out: 🔍 AI and Technology in Evaluation: The excitement was palpable: Packed rooms, standing room only, sometimes overflowing into the hallway! However, amidst the buzz, it struck me that our collective thinking on AI for evaluation is still in its infancy. There’s a lot more we need to dig into as a field and continue to share with one another: the ethical considerations, the endless possibilities, and the inherent limitations. 🌱 Developmental Evaluation's Expanding Horizon: AEA showcased a growing emphasis on developmental evaluation, and it's thrilling to see the potential for its broader adoption, including in philanthropic foundations where I devote a lot of my time these days. The dynamism of this approach can drive meaningful change during a project or transformation rather than waiting until the end of an initiative. 📚 Learning and Evaluation: The conference underlined the significance of learning agendas, a tool I have brought into my own practice with some clients. It was rewarding to sit in a multidisciplinary group and discuss our own experiences and lessons learned in the application of this tool. It was also clear that there's ample space to keep exploring how best to foster a culture of learning that goes beyond a mere to-do list and instead fosters a shift in mindset where learning is woven into the fabric of our work. ✨ Equity and Creative Applications: I was genuinely captivated by the innovative ways evaluation is evolving. From centering equity in every aspect to using performance art as an evaluation tool, the creativity of my fellow evaluators truly knows no bounds! I’m looking forward to continuing to hear about novel ways folks are engaging in evaluation, learning, and storytelling and thinking outside the box when it comes to my own work. I'm excited to incorporate the things I learned into my own work and to continue exploring some of these growth spaces. What insights or innovations from the conference piqued your interest? #AEA2023 #Evaluation #Innovation #LearningAgendas #Equity
