Oct- Dec 2017
I was leading a group of SAP user and some consultant and I had to learn how our company was using the module SAP MM to grant a smooth migration on an internationally integrated platform. I had to learn all aspects by asking to my colleagues – many of them - to tell me what was their job, trying to understand current processes. I could learn by listening to them, I had to listen to consultants proposing different new solution, then I had to propose the best for us. I was learning how our company processes were settled in a ERP module and I had to reproduce he same processes in a different ERP. I had to learn it in order to take the best decision for the company that had to migrate its ERP to a new platform.
Learning Experience at Middle School
Learning Experience at High School
Learning Experience at Work
I remember when I was studying few pages of a quite heavy book, I was in the middle school: the topic was wood, what it is used for, how paper is created from wood. A teacher, I think her name was Paula, was describing what was written, I do not remember if reading the text or adding some info. I was so bored, annoyed by this topic. I was not interested at all. I learned at home, by forcing me to read and repeat the pages in order to remember something I was not caring at all. I had to acquire information, no skills. I had to learn it because it was a common subject in middle school and I had to pass the assessment.
I was studying history of philosophy, one of my preferred teacher was telling us something about Hume, or Locke, or Pascal. I was extremely interested as it was talking about human nature. I learned by listening the teacher, underlining the passages on the textbook, using colors and writing down some notes on the edge of the pages. I was learning information. I was interested, and I had to learn it for the examination for sure, but also to widen my knowledge.
