Solving Problems with Melissa Daimler, Udemy

18 minutes

Systems thinking is an approach to problem-solving that sees complex entities as a series of components with each part interacting with, and influencing, the rest.

The approach can be applied to managing organizations: the various divisions, units, and teams (the components) of a large organization are seen to continually interact with, and affect, each other. In effect, they behave collectively as a system.

We'll be investigating systems thinking in this episode of the HRchat pod!

Bill's guest is Melissa Daimler, Chief Learning Officer of Udemy, a leading destination for learning and teaching online. She is helping the company evolve its platform and approach to learning, helping the global workforce also re-design how they think about culture and work. Alongside her team, Melissa is also testing out ideas internally to bring best practices to the companies for which Udemy partners.

Melissa is a speaker, panelist, and contributor to Harvard Business Review (HBR) and Forbes. One of the first coaches certified by the International Coach Federation (“ICF”), she graduated from the Pepperdine University Graziadio Business School with a M.S. in Organizational Development.

In addition, Melissa is the author of ReCulturing, a playbook for building a business in which employees are clear on the why, what, and how they are working.
