DISMANTLE SILO THINKING

Bridging the skills gap, faster.

Why?

Our purpose is to accelerate systemic change.

How?

We achieve this by designing and facilitating digital collaboration amongst multiple stakeholders.

What?

Matching qualified workers with future workforce requirements demands rapid restructuring of the learn/earn ecosystem.

Who?

We partner with the right people, multiple stakeholders to transition from talking about change to actively implementing change.

THE CHALLENGE

Education and Earning Converged

Our challenge is to drive systemic change, dismantling siloed thinking in favor of a cohesive, knowledge-driven society.

Our shared purpose is to foster innovation, support upward mobility, and build a competent, agile workforce capable of meeting the demands of a rapidly changing world.

Imagine education, work, and the social sector—in a unified dialogue to create a workable future.

The Challenge

The Challenge

Collaboration between educational providers, businesses, and people is crucial to meet the demands of the modern job market.

To ensure that future learners, workers, and the country as a whole are positioned for success, a sea-change of innovation through collaboration is needed.

THE CHANGE

Create Organic Lasting Change

Change is not a solo-sport. WebStudy Foundation serves as a catalyst for systemic change by employing a systems-thinking approach and multi-stakeholder decision-making.

By doing so, we can create a more competent and prepared workforce, and ensure that individuals and businesses are positioned for success in the future.

We don’t provide consulting services to institutional leadership then ‘pray’ for buy-in from the front-line worker. That kind of approach rarely leads to meaningful change..

The Change

We need cross-sector collaboration to support upward mobility, build a competent workforce, and foster innovation and growth.

Grant-funded initiatives nor social impact investing based on predetermined answers don’t scale to produce systemic change. The change must include educational institutions, alternative learning providers, industry leaders, workforce professionals, employers, job seekers, and social sector organizations—to discover innovative solutions they never knew existed.

In our efforts to evolve the Learn/Earn Ecosystem, participants need to interact to align diverse perspectives across sectors and silos, uncovering “what they didn’t know, they didn’t know,” to collaborate on creating an opportunity to alter the challenge.

What works for one community may not work for another. Similarly, what one community struggles with, another region may excel at. You might go so far as to say we are solution agnostic – the opportunity for change is created.

THE SOLUTION

Catalyze And Maintain Collective Action

Our approach harnesses collective intelligence to source solutions organically, providing a data-backed framework for consensus-building and action.

The WebStudy Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit solution shop committed to championing lifetime learning and earning as a viable and equally respected pathway alongside traditional degrees.

The foundation empowers stakeholders to ask the hard questions about how our systems, processes, and assumptions must change to ensure future success

The foundation eliminates geographical barriers, and ensures a diverse range of voices are heard.

The foundation champions a collective, data-informed approach to decision-making.

The foundation champions a framework to innovate decisions to make lasting change that all parties are in alignment on executing.

The Solution

A systems-thinking process and multi-stakeholder decision-making is crucial for preparing for success in the future.

We Design

virtual collaboratives to overcome redundancy. We design a process using web-based tools to facilitate dialogue and engagement. The process is structured and focused on agreed actions to produce innovative outcomes.

We Facilitate

well-designed procedural steps that enable diverse groups to reimagine the way their institutions and communities will serve tomorrow’s learners/earners. Unbiased facilitators harness the collective intelligence from all participants to foster alignment across diverse perspectives. Solutions arise organically, based on data, relevant actions and consensus.

We Accelerate

innovation. Businesses and educational providers replace long decision-making cycles with rapid alignment to create new opportunities. Collectively, we accelerate a greater number of pathways for the learner/worker to acquire a diverse range of skills and knowledge.

Alliances

A Proven Process To Create Radical Alignment

In today’s disruptive environment, the value and necessity of a new kind of collective conversation is not in question. Wicked, difficult and solvable challenges are many. WebStudy Foundation serves regions, states and any combination of organizations seeking systemic change through collaborative action. Whether your state or community is addressing:

Alarming state and regional trends on job openings, labor force participation, and quit rates

Creating cooperative agreements for upskilling and reskilling to reduce the labor shortage

Reducing equity barriers

Revamping programs and curriculums to meet future learner needs

WebStudy Foundation has conducted extensive research and established alliances with experts to bring to market, donor-funded collaboratives called, “All Brains Collaborating on Deck”

To name a few key thought leaders:

Lenny Lind and Karl Danskin, authors of Virtuous Meetings: Technology + Design for High Engagement in Large Groups twenty years of convenings on how to catalyze and maintain collective action in large-engagement meetings.
Todd Erickson, a co-founder with Lenny Lind, now the principal of Collaboration Arts
Leland Russell, principal of Global Perspectives, Empowered People and Orchestrated Technology – GEO Strategic Services
Kevin Kelly, higher education thought leader and author of “Advancing Online Teaching: Creating Equity-based Digital Learning Environments”
Authors of Facilitator’s Guide to Participatory Decision Making

All above are contributors to the formulation of the methodology that WebStudy Foundation offers clients to catalyze systemic change. Our Mission is to Bridge the Skills Gap, Faster.

Traditional business-as-usual meetings often prioritize the opinions of a few key stakeholders, leaving others feeling marginalized or disengaged. This can be particularly problematic when it comes to making systemic change, as it requires the active engagement and participation of all stakeholders.

The WebStudy Foundation’s methodology is a harmonious blend of well-designed procedural steps and cutting-edge technology, creating a unique and highly effective approach to virtual collaboratives.

* Seamless Integration: The procedural steps are intricately woven into the technology, ensuring that each phase of the convening—from agenda setting to Theme Team discussions to final reporting—is facilitated smoothly.

* Dynamic Engagement: The technology allows for various types of questions and polling methods, capturing a richer array of data and insights, fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive dialogue.

* Accelerated Decision-Making: The technology not only captures but also rapidly distills qualitative and quantitative data, allowing stakeholders to quickly identify areas of agreement and disagreement.

* Data-Driven Alignment: Immediate reporting provides a data-backed foundation for consensus-building, enhancing the likelihood of successful implementation.

* Customization and Scalability: The methodology is both customizable to the specific needs of each convening and scalable to accommodate various sizes and types of groups.

* Inclusive and Accessible: Conducting the convenings virtually ensures that geographical barriers are eliminated, allowing for a more diverse set of voices to be included.

WebStudy Foundation engages with learners, educators, employers, policymakers, and other stakeholders, to gain a deeper understanding of their needs and perspectives, and develop solutions that are truly responsive to the urgent needs in the communities they serve.
