yourself for the future.

WHERE ARE WE?Are we doing what we thought
we’d be doing?
![Page 6: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How did we get here?
• WE did it– Our generation– Our colleagues– Our friends– People like us
We made today happen
We are in the process of creating the future
![Page 7: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we create a vibrant future?
• We keep doing our day job• We keep up with the wider trends• We try things out – sometimes detailed
planning, sometimes quick and dirty• We work together – colleagues, customers,
consortia, funders• We stay flexible
![Page 8: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reality check: Some change is outside our control
• Workplace restructuring• Ill health• Family needs
![Page 9: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Locus of control
Internal
External
![Page 10: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Circles of Control and Influence (Covey)
• List the things that are worrying you
• Which ones do you have complete control over?
Deal to them• Which ones do you have
some influence over? Do something about them
• What is left? Can you live with the situation? Or is it time to walk away?
CONTROL
INFLUENCE
CONCERN
![Page 11: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SWOT Analysis
• Analyse the situation• Strengths and
weaknesses – about you
• Opportunities and threats – about the context
• Use this to identify options and make plans
Strengths Weaknesses
Opportunities Threats
![Page 12: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Change the message – think positive
• Our internal voice can drag us down
• How do you tell the story of what is happening?
Is it a disaster, or a challenge, or an opportunity?
![Page 13: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reality check:What “vibrant future” means for a job
Everybody’s jobs will change (a little, or a lot)
Some people’s jobs will disappear (the job leaves you)
Everybody will resign or retire at some point (you leave the job)
“one door closes, another one opens”
![Page 14: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Be realistic about change
• It’s normal to be thrown by change, even good change
• Things don’t always happen the way we want it• Organisations need to change constantly, don’t
take it personally• Change happens for all sorts of reasons• Sometimes it’s time to say goodbye• If you get dragged down by change it mostly hurts
you and those you love
![Page 15: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Key strategies
• Give it a go– Seeing and taking new opportunities
• Be prepared– Gaining qualifications, training and experience
• Know yourself– Self knowledge and self awareness

Roles in creating a vibrant future
• Some people drive change• Some people participate in change• Some people react to change
![Page 22: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You have a job and are being paid to do it to the best of your ability– Do it well– Think of ways to do it
better– Look to the bigger
picture
We have to keep doing the job
Your job needs you
![Page 23: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“This is not what I signed up for”, or “Am I still a librarian?”
• Will I still have a job?• Am I undermining the concept of “libraries”• I did a library studies degree for this?

Qualifications for librarians
They matter – varies by sector– Undergraduate qualifications under review – Full degrees are important for professionals– Other subject and vocational qualifications
Do the highest qualification you can do
It may be easier to study when you are younger (but that’s no limit!)
![Page 32: Creating a Vibrant Future Digital Shift: Ikaroa Hui 5 July 2014 Lynley Stone The Information Workshop lynley@informationworkshop.com](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b26659/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
LIANZA Professional Registration
Likely to matter more in the future– Scheme is unlikely to fall over– Shows an attitude that some employers require and
most desire– May make a difference in a review or restructure
Don’t want to register?– At least make sure you have all the requirements
for it in case you need it– Use the BOKs as a guide for your CPD

See things from other people’s points of view – it’s about US not ME

– help your team– support your boss– give better service to your users– contribute to the strategic objectives of the organisation
• Analyse problems, and present solutions or strategies
“the way we handle the workflow around the returns bin seems awkward to me – could we have a look at it and see
if we could do it differently?”
