        In my new role as a "digital and social" subject matter expert in HR, I was approached by two senior (non-HR) leaders of the firm to be a… Read more"reverse mentor" to them in the "social and digital" domain.

        What is Reverse Mentoring?

        As Krish Shankar of Bharti Airtel says in this article:


        This concept, being increasingly adopted by savvy, new-age organisations, turns the old paradigm of mentorship into a higher and more effective collaborative effort. The clincher here is that the younger person becomes the mentor and the seasoned senior professional the mentee. Typically, the mentee has more overall experience (as a result of age) than the mentor (who is younger), but the mentor has more knowledge in a particular area and therefore reverses the conventional relationship.
        Clearly, the modern-day notion of an exchange of ideas and knowledge has changed, especially after the phenomenal expansion of the social networks, and the digital and mobile marketing platforms, blurring the rigid and accepted norms of relationships between individuals, teams and organisations. Today, an exchange of ideas is no longer restricted to an inner circle of influence, the purview of designations and age.
        Reverse mentoring can re-energise older employees, keep younger workers engaged and improve relationships between the different generations in the workplace. For example, junior mentors can help managers understand how to motivate and retain young workers. They can also share first-hand knowledge of a younger customer base — critical for companies aiming to tap the youth market.

        So yes, it has been an interesting experience in my first few mentoring meetings. Will blog about more experiences soon :)

              A1: Creating value by leveraging on each other's strength rather than working in silos #IndiahrchatSuchita Kalele

              A1 - Value creation in HR is all about making a positive impact on the business working with and through people. #indiaHRchatDominic Rajesh

              A3: HR can create value by advising the business than merely answering their questions! #IndiaHRChatSonia Sachdeva

              A3 H..elpful interventions at the R..ight time #indiahrchatJonas Prasanna

              @Anand__Pillai Couldn't agree more #IndiaHRchatZenobia Madon

              MT @rajeevchopra: A2 everyone can and (must strive) to add value. In their own way but aligned to the larger goal #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A3 - By keeping their eyes & ears open. HR should be the 1st to know in the Org but is often the last. #indiahrchatSunder Ramachandran

              A3 Build innovative processes and systems which R sustainable, metric driven and has direct impact on business/profitability #indiahrchatMansoor Hussain

              A3 #HR needs 2 be integral 2 business strategy: Resource allocation, core processes, performance that aides business / project #IndiaHRChatPrabhjit |KaurSkills

              A2. The difference matters since activities required for creation and addition are different. #indiahrchatShamik Vora

              #IndiaHRChat HR creates value by empowering business processes with the right human resources??Tushar Garg

              #indiahrchat A2 the important thing is- everyone can and (must strive) to add value. In their own way but aligned to the larger goalRajeev

              If you dont understand business you can never participate in Value Creation #IndiaHrchatKavi

              @Anand__Pillai Abs agree with you Sir! #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              A3: move from HR to People Development. #indiahrchatAmit Sharma

              A3: HR needs to the team everyone wants to talk to about everything - from strategy to soupsticks. #indiahrchatSairee Chahal

              Q3 By making sure that the "Business" in "HR Business Partner' is real! #IndiaHrchatAnand Pillai

              A3 - HR can create value by creating a culture where value creation is possible by one and all :) #indiahrchatArmaan Seth

              >>>>Q3: How does HR create value #milliondollarquestion #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A3: To begin with, by understanding where the value lies for business and society.. #indiahrchatAbhinav Gupta

              @nirjhara Interesting... #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A3 HR should farm out low value added actions/activities and themselves perform high value adding activities #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              Addition is sometime mistaken for creation. Genuine V.creation rarely seems like V.addition #IndiaHrchatKavi

              A2: Both are equally important. The need to value-add or create may depend on the organization's growth plans and needs #indiahrchatKeerthi Kariappa

              A3 Create Value by moving from Transaction management to Transformation management #indiahrchatMansoor Hussain

              A2: Choosing between value addition and creation is like asking 'which eye of yours do you prefer' ? Need both ! LOL :) #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A2: Value creation is the superset of value addition. The former helps bring about change! #IndiaHRChatSonia Sachdeva

              HR adds value by understanding the business & aligning leadership pipeline, capability building etc. to the business vision #indiahrchatB Rajkamal

              A3: By proactively partnering with the business to fill gaps #IndiahrchatSuchita Kalele

              A3 HR can best create value by being strategically focused in actions rather than operationally focused. #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              Q3 By bringing the H back in HR #IndiaHrchatAnand Pillai

              A2 wen u create, u can also add. But not vice versa. #indiahrchatnirjhara

              A2. Value add is a modification to the existing process, practice, strategy. #indiahrchatShamik Vora

              @Anand__Pillai And the HR people the stars :) #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              Q3: How does HR create value ? #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              V.Creation & V.Addition are both important to different contexts! #IndiaHrchatKavi

              A2: Value addn is done by specific initiatives, while creatn requires a bigger intervention and deeper understanding of value? #indiahrchatAbhinav Gupta

              A2: Both are equally important. Situation decides what needs to be done when. Addon can be beneficial as well #IndiahrchatSuchita Kalele

              Value creation is like the SUN. Value addition is like the MOON #IndiaHrchatAnand Pillai

              Question 3 coming up folks >>>>>>>> #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              wow!! terrific thoughts and definitions!! :) #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              A2 ROI terms it's creating value from collective parts which must return dividends: i.e investment appraisal (than innovation) #IndiaHRChatPrabhjit |KaurSkills

              A2 Value Creation is innovation...Value addition is collabration #indiahrchatMansoor Hussain

              A2: #Value creation is high risk and hence high return! So i guess it also depends on who we are & what we want as an org #IndiaHRchatZenobia Madon

              A2. Value Creation is about something which did not exist and has been created like setting up new process, strategy etc... #indiahrchatShamik Vora

              A2: value creation differentiates between performers and out-performers. #indiahrchatAmit Sharma

              @tanvi_gautam and i am referring to s mindset shift #IndiahrchatGautam Ghosh

              A2 - Creating value is an inherently co-operative process. #indiahrchatArmaan Seth

              A2: Addition: One step forward Creation: giant leap. Yet, one needs the other to sustain it. #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A2: Sometimes diff is how people are feeling about it - all stakeholders irrespective of metrics #indiahrchatSairee Chahal

              A 2- Using an M&A analogy - Value creation is like a big acquisition while addition is more bolt on. #IndiahrchatSunder Ramachandran

              @GautamGhosh I am referring to speed #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              In creating you are bringing in your #YOUniqueness. In adding you as just an #ADDon #IndiaHrchatAnand Pillai

              MT @IndianYash: A2 Both Value Creation Vs Value Addition r imprtnt. But its Value creation differentiates u in a dynamic world #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              Creating business differentiation is value creation #indiahrchatSantosh Sinha

              A2 Creation =innovating /design of process, systems/practices. Addition = adding 2 existing practices / talent knowhow teamwork #IndiaHRChatPrabhjit |KaurSkills

              A2: It is not the quantitative change but the qualitative shift that is the diff between value addition and creation #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              @tanvi_gautam incremental is not new.. just additional. #IndiahrchatGautam Ghosh

              A2: Difference is speed+quantum towards moving ahead #indiahrchatSairee Chahal

              A2 Both Value Creation Vs Value Addition are important. But its Value creation that can differentiate you in this dynamic world #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              A2. " creation = exponential potential, addition - incremental potential " #indiahrchatMindTickle

              @amitssays Ditto, Same thought! #IndiaHRchatZenobia Madon

              To 'create' is to have something where nothing was! #IndiaHrchatKavi

              A2: Addition is temporary, Creation is permanent? #indiahrchatAbhinav Gupta

              @GautamGhosh Does it have to be radical ? Value creation can be incremental too #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A2 Agree @gautamghosh - Value creation is incremental and marginal vs value creation is significant and radical #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              A2 : The difference matters because value creation is not a step up, its like a giant leap. #IndiaHRchatZenobia Madon

              @_Kavi welcome! #IndiaHrchatGautam Ghosh

              MT @Anand__Pillai: A2 Creating is completely reinventing/doing from scratch. Adding is adding on to an initiative alrdy started #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A2 Value creation is more holistic as compared to value addition #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              A2: it's like difference between a step and a leap #indiahrchatAmit Sharma

              A2: If we want to make a revolutionary change, we need to create value #IndiahrchatSuchita Kalele

              @tanvi_gautam A2 addition is incremental, creation is a radical change #IndiahrchatGautam Ghosh

              hello _kavi :) #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              Hello ! Logging in. #IndiaHrchatKavi

              @Anand__Pillai How would you measure that? #indiahrchatAbhinav Gupta

              Q2 : What is the difference between value creation and addition and why does this difference matter ? #IndiahrchatDr. Tanvi Gautam

              A1: delivering beyond the obvious #indiahrchatAmit Sharma

              A2 Value Addition; Performance of actions that marginally increase the worth of products, services, solutions and or brands. #indiahrchatYashwant Mahadik

              @tanvi_gautam A1.Value creation by HR is by being present, open and connected to Human needs, to pre-empt and scaffold them #Indiahrchatmeetasengupta

              A1: Eg. Value creation by Employer branding... #IndiahrchatSuchita Kalele

              A1. HR like a magnifying glass, need to bring focus to organizations efforts. Its a thread that makes neckless out of pearls. #indiahrchatShamik Vora
