Thinking of Learners as Consumers – Can L&D deliver more than just Compliance...LearningCafe
What if employees were free to make a choice to consume or reject the Learning developed by L&D i.e be consumers? Mandatory learning including compliance courses has been the engine that has driven the adoption of eLearning as it provides trackable, cost effective and a scalable solution to ensure that employees have acquired essential knowledge.
Mandatory learning however rarely addresses the higher level skills and mindsets required by organisations to stay ahead of the competition today such as innovation, resilience, customer centricity etc. Social, informal and workplace learning falls in the discretionary category and have a poor track record in most organisations. Earlier this year we released the “LearningCafe Digital Manifesto for L&D,” which is the result of thinking at LearningCafe about how L&D should adapt to provide value in a fast changing and digitally disrupted world. One of the principles of this manifesto is “Thinking of Learners as Consumers”.
An experienced online panel discusses the opportunities and challenges of thinking of Learner as Consumers.

Apprenticeships are an effective means of employers developing their own talent. They also offer a viable alternative to university for people looking for a direct and affordable route to skilled jobs and careers. However, many employers have yet to recognise the full benefits of apprenticeships, even though their value extends to most sectors and occupations.
The CIPD’s new guide on apprenticeships gives practical advice on how employers can tailor high-quality apprenticeship programmes that meet their current and future skills needs.

perpetuates the inappropriate banter and behaviour.

demands with stagnant budgets, local crises, changes in laws or regulations, etc. This would help them lead themselves
and their teams through those situations and will help them break the paradigm they have of always staying within one
leadership framework that someone sold to them as the best. This would help them be more flexible with their approach
to find an effective solution faster.

works, for whom and in what contexts is the first step.

for addressing them. From recruitment and retention to training and development, we'll cover the essential elements of
building and maintaining an effective and engaged workforce.

perceived norms, as part of our everyday (working) life?
This session will delve into the intricacies of inclusive leadership, using Deloitte’s framework that encompasses six

IQ and EQ but, more importantly, with Cultural Intelligence. Bernadette will shine a spotlight on the pivotal role that
CQ plays in empowering leaders to deliver more effective and inclusive services to the diverse communities they
serve.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into fostering inclusive leadership qualities that go beyond conventional
measures. Join Bernadette as she navigates through the key attributes that make leaders not just capable, but

This session will give a detailed overview of the newly launched NHS Universal Family programme, which is a commitment to
support young people who are care experienced into roles in the NHS and Local Government. Launched in October 2022 by Dr
Navina Evans, the programme has the aim of supporting 1000 care leavers by 2025. The programme is being piloted in ten Integrated Care Boards across the country, in partnership with Spectra who run the Care Leaver Covenant programme, with many
signatories including Amazon, John Lewis, Universities, Banks, Sky and many others, all with the aim of providing a family of love and support to young people who have grown up in foster care or children’s homes, without access to the opportunities that others
have. As Joint Programme Director, Raffaela will talk through the rationale for setting up this national initiative and share the work to date, and also will be seeking opportunities for information sharing across the NHS and Local Government to make this programme a success.
Technology use and adoption is driving change within the public sector at pace, but are we capitalising on using this capability well? Join this session to understand how transformative technologies, digital solutions and data can be used effectively to improve place based outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

organisation with consumer grade Employee Experiences, rich data and insights and tools that make the workforce more productive
and engaged. In this session Andi Britt will bring to life how the future is taking shape now and demonstrate some of the exponential technologies that will help employees and managers bring the best of themselves to work
For most organisations, hybrid working is here to stay. However, the relative newness of this way of working means that most organisations and their leaders are still making it up as they go along. This presentation will share the latest evidence gathered from employees across organisations of what makes the most effective hybrid leadership, as well as provide a range of practical suggestions for how to help your hybrid team realise its potential.
There is rarely a one size fits all approach to hybrid working, and this means that employees will experience it in different ways. The
personalised employee experience could be inevitable. How do we create that in a hybrid environment? Why should we even bother? In this
session we will examine how hybrid working challenges every aspect of people practice, every aspect of the employee lifecycle, and work out
what we need to do about that.
