Collaborate to Innovate Success Story- Halfbrick Academy
•
1 like•426 views
Halfbrick is a mobile game developer founded in 2001 known for games like Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. They have over 700 million downloads but face challenges recruiting talent due to skills shortages. To address this, Halfbrick launched an Academy program partnering with universities to train and potentially hire students. Two teams of 10 students each developed games over 3 months, resulting in 3 completed games. Three students from the program were subsequently hired by Halfbrick, a 50% higher success rate than their regular recruitment process. Going forward, Halfbrick is considering expanding the Academy program and partnering with startups to provide funding, services, and mentorship to help develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Homo-Adaptus Agile Worker by Lior Frenkel
The document discusses the need for workers to adapt to changing skills demands and become "agile workers" or "Homo-Adaptus". It notes that only 48% of jobs will remain stable and 75 million jobs may be displaced by 2022, while 133 million new jobs will emerge. It recommends that workers take personal responsibility for lifelong learning and developing skills like analytical thinking, active learning strategies, creativity, technology skills, problem solving and emotional intelligence. Industries are encouraged to support reskilling/upskilling efforts. The presentation introduces an app called Jolt that may help with remote learning and concludes by stating the new era will require new types of agile workers.
Learning Live | Onboarding: The Key Steps to Getting it Right
We only get one chance to make a great first impression with onboarding. But what does great look like? And how close is your organisation to great?
Organisations need to be savvy when it comes to onboarding and are increasingly looking to technology to exceed new hire expectations, whilst preventing common onboarding challenges. The first 90 days are key - and when 50% of new hires end up leaving their job within this time frame, L&D Departments need to act to ensure onboarding is a great experience.
SXSW 2019 pitch for panel pickers
The document discusses how artificial intelligence is reshaping education technology and enabling hyper-personalized learning experiences. It notes that how education is delivered and consumed is rapidly changing, and that learners rely on multiple modalities rather than a single delivery method. Additionally, most employees are dissatisfied with only taking training through one method, and most managers feel their learning programs do not meet learner needs. The document proposes that in the session, attendees will learn how AI and interactive tools can drive employee engagement in technical training, how to use multi-modal knowledge transfer to make technical training highly impactful, and how to map technical training programs to corporate goals to demonstrate return on investment from training expenditures.
E-Learning Strategies for Business – A SHRM Seminar, Bill Robinson
The evolving virtual and electronic learning platforms are revolutionising Learning & Development. This session will discuss how e-Learning supports an agile workforce while building employee competencies that have tangible business outcomes. Low cost training methods coupled with higher quality learner experiences are increasing job performance to the point of creating a competitive advantage for those organizations leading the way. Specific examples will relate to blended learning models, continual education credits for professionals and case studies from Skill Soft, E-Cornell and online academic degrees.
The Machine's Role in Educating Australians
Open Colleges is one of Australia's oldest and largest providers of online learning. For over 100 years we have been helping people improve their lives through learning. Being an online education organisation, we depend heavily on technology to provide an engaging learning experience for students and a smarter teaching experience for educators. Having over 60,000 concurrent students, all progressing asynchronously has resulted with every student being unique and having different learning patterns and behaviours. This introduces a variety of challenges for our educators and support staff.
Introducing Machine learning & Artificial intelligence into our business is the practical & efficient approach to deal with these challenges at scale. The use cases range from nurturing prospecting students in their course selection; identifying students in need to intervene proactively; Understanding behaviours to drive motivation and engagement; and analysing learning patters to improve quality of courses and services.
In this presentation we’ll talk about how we have addressed these use cases through leveraging scalable machine learning services and suitable big data ecosystem.

Fosway Group & Docebo - Integrating the HR Landscape on the Cloud
Please contact Docebo at http://www.docebo.com for more information.
The corporate HR systems landscape is multi-dimensional. As well as core HR data and systems, companies typically have many systems for managing recruiting, learning, and talent processes, as well as their line of business applications. Whether you have an HR Suite or Best of Breed applications (or both!) creating a coherent picture of your people is both complex and difficult to manage. But HR is increasingly being challenged to do just that - integrate its people data and deliver joined up business processes that transcend the functional silos and systems landscape.
Drivers, challenges and benefits of integrating your HR systems landscape, including:
- The complexity of corporate HR and functional systems landscape today
- The challenges in really joining up the people data picture and the drivers to do so
- How key people data elements are critical for driving real business outcomes from talent and learning
- The role of LMS as a central hub for integration between HR, Talent and Work
- How HR and Learning leaders need and can work with IT to address these challenges

Is Your Learning Ecosystem Effective?
60-year careers, the decreasing half life of skills, and digital disruption have many organizations rethinking, and maybe even struggling with how they develop their employees.
“Fifty-six percent of current workforce skill sets do not match the changes in their company’s strategy, goals, markets, or business models.” — ATD, Bridging the Skills Gap, 2015
Finding success in this turbulent time takes new strategies, skillsets and modernized tools, which makes it an important, yet perfect time for corporate learning leadership to take stock of their learning investments.
Creating the right ecosystem will be the difference between those who make it through the age of disruption and those who don’t.
