Changes in society, business and technology have all impacted on how we learn to perform well in the workplace. Internal Learning and Development departments face lots of challenges to deliver better results for the business. This presentation presents a toolkit of ideas to help L&D deliver those results.

Anything can be outsourced
Lots of players, we know the best
e.g. Translation has always been a worry for some of our clients
Lots of people are already doing this:
• Look at Linkedin
• Look at Twitter
• Look at Google+
Lots of online L&D communities facing the same challenges as you

Editor's Notes
Ask any CEO in world – what their best asset is – need to engage people, so CEO needs to focus this. But this survey shows that L&D aren’t currently helping with this!
Eco Intelligence Unit conducted a survey of 349 executives around the world on the benefits, challenges and risks
associated with creating a more agile organisation.
The Economist Intelligence Unit
We are the research and analysis division of The Economist Group, the sister company to The Economist newspaper. Created in 1946, we have nearly 70 years' experience in helping businesses, financial firms and governments to understand how the world is changing and how that creates opportunities to be seized and risks to be managed. A British company, we are intensely global. We service clients across the world from our 40 offices, our staff speak over 25 languages and we embrace foreign cultures with a passion.
Twitter – 2006
YT – 2005
FB – 2004
Smartphones - 1994
Google – 1998
Cloud computing – took off from about 2010/11 – google apps, cloud storage – became mainstream
Tablet – ipad - 2010
If you look at these innovations – mobilising information, helping us to better connect, be more agile and flexible to how we worked..
Youtube – 2005 – this year:
More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each monthOver 6 billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube—that's almost an hour for every person on Earth 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute 80% of YouTube traffic comes from outside the US YouTube is localised in 61 countries and across 61 languages According to Nielsen, YouTube reaches more US adults aged 18-34 than any cable network
What’s happening in industry – people know they need to change, so they are reacting to buzz words, with little strategic thinking Behind it. E.g. clients talk to us about needing ‘gamification’ to make learning more fun – but that is mainly because old-style eLearning as one size fits all has failed our staff.
First – have you heard of these?
Next do you know how these could help your business?
e.g. Leadership training – learning is a process, it is about fitting into a role, it is on-going…
When people are learning how to do something for the first time (New);
When people are expanding the breadth and depth of what they have learned (More);
When they need to act upon what they have learned, which includes planning what they will do, remembering what they may have forgotten, or adapting their performance to a unique situation (Apply);
When problems arise, or things break or don’t work the way they were intended (Solve); and,
When people need to learn a new way of doing something, which requires them to change skills that are deeply ingrained in their performance practices (Change).
Here is a plot of a typical forgetting curve. At the beginning your retention is 100% since this exactly the point in time when you actually learned the piece of information. As time goes on the retention drops sharply down to around 40% in the first couple of days.
The forgetting curve is exponential. That means that in the first days the memory loss is biggest, later (as you can see in the forgetting curve at the right side) you still forget but the rate at which you forget is much, much slower.
The forgetting curve clearly shows that in the first period after learning or reviewing a piece of information we forget most!
The speed with which we forget any information depends on a number of different factors:
How difficult is the learned material? How easy is it to relate the information with facts, which you know already?
How is the information represented?
Under which condition are you learning the material? Are you stressed?
Are you fully rested and have you slept enough?

So when the CEO is asking – who will help me better engage our staff – thinking about learning in these multiple dimensions is a much better approach. You want staff to say – I really enjoyed that, it helped me improve my performance, it really worked!!
When I am talking to the business people – how can I apply this thinking…
Current – narrow toolkit with not so many learning options – not delivering business impact, this is the way we have always done it, taking orders
So to start to change your thinking – maybe look at these headings…
Take every request for training individually – what is actually the best way of delivering this – to make the best use of resources and deliver impact
Role of App in learning – as a future prediction, this will change learning design for the better!
Fear factor at a senior level in the business – will staff actually like it? Will it work. As we had done this before, we convinced them of the benefits
Be proactive: as just one example, invite yourself or turn up to the next departmental sales meeting, have an opinion and if you can see an opportunity for L&D adding value to the business then say so (even if this is a few days later upon reflection).
Challenge: next time the business comes to you for a costly training intervention, ask questions; what is the need?, what are the learning outcomes?, what behaviours will we be changing?, how will we know we are successful? When constructing your solution, propose something different to the norm, something they will not be expecting e.g. a series of short instructional videos hosted on the intranet instead of classroom training.
Engagement: your LMS, if used correctly is also a great communications tool. Why not post the CEO’s next quarterly update as a video with a short assessment or poll as a means of both engaging with staff and checking for their understanding?
Modernise: the L&D toolkit should be deep and varied, our offerings for learners have to match up to the diversity of their lives outside of work.
