Hannes Jordaan

Enterprise software specialist and learning contributor

Hannes Jordaan works in enterprise resource planning software implementation. In Course Correct, he describes projects for large and smaller companies and an enthusiasm for integrations, workflows and automation. Looking for things to improve, automate or outsource is a recurring interest in his professional account.

Hannes connects that work with his own experience of learning. He recalls growing up in South Africa and finding that a traditional approach to studying did not suit him. Discovering a different way to turn information into usable knowledge became part of his interest in personal growth.

His chapter considers both curiosity and the need to limit competing demands. Hannes encourages readers to say no to information that does not serve the task at hand, or record it for later, so that learning does not become another source of overwhelm.

Creativity and support complete the discussion. Hannes describes an interest in people encouraging one another without judgment and finding workable responses to imperfect circumstances. His contribution links a systems specialist's impulse to improve a process with a learner's need for patience and flexibility.
