The Organization is a Laboratory! and we are all researchers?



Strange, is not it?

In my previous organization, In an interview, the interviewer asked this query,

How do you ensure your continuous learning?

I answered,s and the answer has become a game-changer for me, I replied, - “to me, Organization is a Laboratory, I do research here; I test all the hypothesis and verify my learning. I continue to do so to establish my continuous learning. Every day I must go to the office to solve a purpose and I pay attention to my hypothesis, I search for a problem, seek solutions and analyze those solutions and validate with my understanding..."

I must declare, with all our knowledge, research, it is not guaranteed that you will consistently gain benefit;
It is an endless endeavor.

Recently one of my companions insisted to apply for an opening in his company, if I get a job in that company, it would easy for us to commute as we stay in the same apartment complex, He gets a good employee referral, win-win for both of us. The organization is also very well known as the best people-friendly company. After some weeks, I inquire what happened, he informed, one specific certification is missing in my profile, so they are not considering me, he asked what is the use of that certification, I explained, that certifications organization bought your company!!! without that stamp, it would problematic to obtain the gate pass to that company. You may be Ph.D., but that stamp is a prerequisite to obtaining the gate pass! he realized! Nowadays it is also not so safe to express against any certification! there are battalions to safeguard those service.

I believe we need to continue our research journey to make the organization better in some of the other diverse ways.

Why do I research? Why should we research?

The research leads to the methodical compilation of information about the activities, attributes, and outcomes of programs, benefits, organizations and associations served by organizations. 

The main purpose of the research is to instruct action, to prove a theory, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field of study. 
A mechanism for Building Knowledge and Facilitating Learning
Means to Know Various Challenges and Increase community Awareness
Nurture individual potential and realize objectives through numerous opportunities.
A Seed to Love Reading, Writing, Analyzing, and Sharing Valuable Information
Further understanding of expanding community needs
Constitute a different understanding about what works and what does not
Push for organizational learning

How do we conduct the research better in our laboratory?

Every day we read many books, concepts, models, frameworks and theories.

These are observations by some authors in some context which he/she might have looked at performing.

Will it work for me, for us? Can we investigate and confirm the same? Can we confront the numerous assumption used?

Why to take it indiscriminately?

Let us dry run, analyze,Investigate everything in our context and note down our observation

Affirm what the author or writer said. What will take place, in a process, we come out with a stronger and different model which we are examining performing further in our context.

Research is an inseparable part of learning: both continuous self-education and researching in college,on the job etc.

Set a schedule: I compose weekly 2 blogs on LinkedIn. For the last 4 years, I have noted 485 blogs.

Most of the points are based on the publication and analyzed those theories at the diverse organizations.

For last 20+ years all these organizations have become my laboratory for experiments.




I started capturing my research, observation and finding in one of the websites I was maintaining, Buildandsustainorganization. in, From 2012, later I closed this site. I had 75 posts on that website in one year period.

Then I started writing my research observation in technical paper in international and national magazines.



All these laboratories helped me to experiment and I could continue my research and listing down all observations and creating multiple assets.

My latest assets which can help you to become better are ....




You can read more about these two books

and

We all are researchers doing research at various organizations, few of us are sharing and others are still compiling, waiting for the daylight to come.

Don't hesitate to share your coaching journals to all of us, let us learn from each others. We all are little Einstein in our world....
