The L&D profession is facing stress in Australia bought about reduced budgets, outsourcing, increased speed of business and the impact of technology. This is being reflected in the changing quality and quantity of L&D jobs and career paths available. We cogitate on the skills needed to ensure L&D professionals keep themselves in demand including digital and business skills. We discuss the options and alternative career options and pathways for L&D professions.
Despite Learning measurement frameworks like Kirkpatrick and Philips ROI that have been around for so many years, defining meaningful measures still continues to be a big challenge for L&D. ‘E’ has become the most ignored in ADDIE.
We talk to an experienced panel about the unsatisfactory current state and what needs to be done to improve the importance, visibility and value of measuring Learning effectiveness in the real world. We focus on how to collect actionable insights about learning effectiveness: not only seeking to answer, did learning achieve the desired or intended result, but also why/why not.

We are all learning most of the time, but we often don’t recognise this! Many people only feel they have had some development if they have been on a course. Courses can be a great way to develop people, though they can be expensive and people are not always able to put what they have learned into practice when they come back to the work place.
In this on demand webinar, Developing People with the 70/20/10 Model, Jayne McPhillimy has introduced different ways of recognising, and therefore encouraging the development of your people through a range of interventions.
These interventions are often more effective than a traditional course approach and are invariably a more cost effective option.
At the end of this practical on demand webinar recording, you will:
Understand the 70/20/10 Model for Learning & Development and how this approach could support the development of the people in your business.
Widen the scope for what is considered to be learning and development activity in your business.
Understand how you can use this approach to build a ‘Learning Culture’, where people firstly recognise the learning opportunities around them and then actively seek them out.
Be able to move people away from the idea that learning only happens on a Training Course
This webinar is aimed at all those involved in developing staff from HR Managers to Senior Business Leaders and Managers.

THE ROI DILEMMA: MEASURING RESULTS OF YOUR LEARNING PROGRAMSHuman Capital Media
Significant resources are being allocated to training and development across most organizations, but many companies still find themselves unsure of results. The return on investment formula is a financial calculation, but learning is a human behavior and needs a human calculation. L&D can’t prove ROI using the same methods other parts of the business do. So how can L&D professionals prove investments in employee development actually produce results?
In this webcast Karen Hebert-Maccaro, Chief Content Officer at O’Reilly will:
Explain why ROI needs to be redefined for learning initiatives and the narrative shifted from causation to correlation.
Discuss how to correlate learner engagement with other important organization metrics to tell an important story about the value of L&D investments.
Show you how to leverage Kirkpatrick’s model of assessment and create a targeted strategy around level three and four assessments.
Provide guidance on how to talk with your business leaders and other stakeholders about learning and argue “table stakes not sweepstakes”.
People are choosing to learn in different ways from a much more diverse range of sources. Meanwhile, most L&D infrastructure is still geared for the same old thing – managing formal training. This webinar deck covers:
- What the wisdom of the crowd can teach L&D professionals about learning
- 3 ways to reconnect L&D’s requirements to learners’ expectations
- How to leverage the new learning ecosystem to make L&D more efficient, effective and agile

It was delivered by Ruth Stuart, (L&D Research Advisor, CIPD), Laura Overton (MD, Towards Maturity) and Lisa Johnson, (Assistant Director Information Services, Barnardos) at the CIPD L&D Show in London 14th May. It draws on the reports, 'L&D: Evolving Roles, Enhancing Skills' research by CIPD and Towards Maturity and the 2014-15 Towards Maturity Benchmark Report.

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.
Speakers: Charles Jennings , Jos Arets , Vivian Heijnen
Description:
Without performance support, people are less effective in their professional and personal lives. Do you still calculate in your head or organize your life without an electronic agenda? Performance support is everywhere and always present. Combined with smart technology, it is the new trend in (mobile) learning. Performance support: a short cut for training with a positive business case. Usually training is only available before or after the execution of a task. However, when it is necessary to put those lessons into practice (the moment of need), training is not accessible. This is the exact moment where performance support can add value. The speakers will share how they succeeded in improving business results in several organizations, as well as lessons learned. You will get tips and tricks and a job aid with which you can immediately start to design your own performance support within a digital workscape. It is hard to imagine that the role of L&D will not shift from delivering formal training to supporting 70:20:10. A performance support storm is especially expected in supporting "70," resulting in new opportunities for L&D and a shift to its core business. Compared to traditional formal training, this approach will have a positive business case. The L&D dream comes true!Apply a job aid to design performance support in your own organization as important element in a (digital) workscape. Learn tips and tricks for immediate use to achieve business impact (ROI) with performance support.
Make L&D Count - Shape a strong business case for L&DAlexandra Lederer
Workshop at Forward Government Learning Conference, July 2016 - Canberra, Australia
How often have we heard "demonstrate me the value of L&D"? or "the L&D budget will be cut this year" or seen little or inappropriate staffing levels in L&D?
Based on lessons learnt from experiences in large, mid-sized and start-up private organisations, the objective of this workshop is to take you through a pragmatic journey to shape a strong business case for your L&D.
By the end of the session you will have acquired hands-on processes and tools to help you:
- Assess the critical knowledge issues of your organisation and how to address them
- Get buy-in from stakeholders to support and sponsor your L&D strategy
- Measure and demonstrate the ROI of your learning initiatives

Ex Assembly - Using Workforce Analytics for Employee Experience EffectivenessLearningCafe
Pundits have identified Employee Experience (EX) as one of the top priorities for HR. A lot of the science and art of EX is based on the Customer Experience (CX) approach, which makes extensive use of data to understand the customer and identify their needs and aspirations.
Workforce/people data has been notoriously siloed (in HRMS, CRM, Intranets, etc.) and are often unreliable and outdated. Is it possible to achieve good Employee Experience when Workforce/people data is not up to scratch?
In this “free-range” online discussion we have a chat with a panel of CX, EX and Analytics experts about the better practices, challenges and opportunities for the use of HR/People Analytics for better EX design and implementation.
Ex Assembly - Employee Wellness Programs – Can they Perform in the Spotlight?LearningCafe
Uncertainty, rapid change and a clouded future has created an employee wellness crises. Employee Wellness programs (EWP) which were trotting along before COVID, have been asked to sprint by adapting to the health crises and the ramifications of changes to ways of working including increased work from home.
We discuss the current state of affairs of Employee Wellness and the journey ahead in the continuing crises. The panel also shares best practices and lessons learnt.
This EX Assembly “free-range” discussion focuses on the enterprise implications and its impact on Employee Experience.
Ex Assembly - Unpacking Employee Experience (EX) LearningCafe
Employee Experience (EX) is a term that gained tremendous visibility. However, EX means different things to different people. Josh Bersin recently highlighted the need to clarify what EX means and involves.
At one end, it could be bolting on new EX practices to current HR approaches and method. On the other end, it could involve the use of a human-centred design approach to identify employee needs and realities as the real starting point for designing and implementing HR solutions and processes.
We talk to a panel of experts and practitioners about EX and what it involves.
Better Candidate Experience is Hard Work but Benefits EveryoneLearningCafe
Businesses need people, and people need work. Anecdotal evidence and research indicate the recruiting process is painful for everyone involved, including candidates, recruiters and hiring managers.
Technology has promised better outcomes but could automating the existing fault lines make the outcomes worse?
We talk to a panel of experts about the challenges faced by candidates and recruiters and the possible solutions to improve the process and the candidate experience.
Building Responsive & Scalable Organisational Learning - EX Assembly WebinarLearningCafe
The COVID crisis has thrown light on the need for organisational learning to be adaptable and scalable to meet business requirements. Employees have been asked to take on new roles and the only mechanism available to train employees has been through digital platforms.
This unanticipated situation has broken some of the long held resistance to adopting new ways of learning. The webinar features a panel of experienced organisational capability and learning professionals who discuss the opportunities and challenges in building an adaptable and scalable organizational learning machine.
The 1.5-hour year-end omnibus webinar features three panels of experienced Learning practice leaders from leading organisations from Australia, US and Singapore.
EX Assembly: COVID19 and its Impact on Employee Peformance & RewardsLearningCafe
COVID19 has thrown business plans into disarray. While the impact of COVID on the workforce is manifold, measuring and rewarding employees will be a particularly challenging one.
We discuss
Do we need to adapt or “inactivate” Employee Performance Processes specially for employees whose work has been directly impacted ?
How do we recognise and reward employees who go above and beyond their job description during these challenging times ?
Does COVID19 provide us an opportunity to transform the Perf Mgt system which is perceived as ineffective ?

Learning Analytics – From Reactive to PredictiveLearningCafe
Overview
While the term Learning Analytics has been around for some time, it has been mostly restricted to data collecting from the Learning Management Systems such as completions data. Learning analytics has to evolve beyond simply reporting to making predictions. We discuss current trends in Learning Analytics and how xAPI, Artificial Intelligence will impact Learning Analytics.

Using Agile Methods for HR & Learning ProjectsLearningCafe
The Agile Manifesto released in 2001, outlined a more flexible approach to software development based iterative development, where solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.Since then, Agile methods (an umbrella term covering SCRUM, KanBan, Extreme Programming etc) have been extensively used in IT are increasingly being used in other domains such as marketing and HR/L&D.
While Agile methods are malleable to work in other domains, its basics principles and philosophy may not mesh well in “top-down” hierarchical organisations. In this webinar, an experienced panel explores the opportunities for using Agile methods in HR/L&D and the challenges faced.
LearningCafe Year End Omnibus Webinar 2017LearningCafe
LearningCafe ran a year-end omnibus webinar covering all aspects of Learning. During this 2 hour webinar, we spoke to a panel of experienced learning practitioners who reviewed the year that was and the next one in the world of corporate learning.
If we can’t accurately predict the future, how can we define the capabilities required for the future? Many organisations rely on generic capabilities such as innovation, leadership etc as future capabilities, but do these really provide the cutting edge in a competitive market place.
Our expert panel, share their views and experiences on Future Capabilities and how to make this exercise more robust and effective.
Content Curation for Learning – Beyond the BasicsLearningCafe
Content Curation is rapidly becoming a key L&D skillset. But curation is almost as old as human civilisation itself and has been central to the media industry (newspapers). L&D is at the beginning of the content curation journey and may not be tapping into its existing body of knowledge and skills. We discuss with an experienced panel about current trends and better practices and in particular talk about using technology platforms to assist with curation
Impact of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning on Workforce CapabilityLearningCafe
The application of AI/ML is reshaping the job market and will eventually create new jobs & roles that we can’t even imagine today. Reskilling the workforce and reforming learning and career models will play a critical role in facilitating this change. The question remains if that will be provided by the traditional internal HR/L&D team or some other model.
Designing Learning Portals for Consumption & Value AddLearningCafe
In the age of information glut, Learning Portals can provide Learners a way through the chaos to Learning and Knowledge that is useful and easier to access. However, success stories are few and far between due to technology and design challenges. In many organisations, the LMS is viewed as a Learning portal but not the one that provides the flexibility and user experience required.
In part 1 of our webinar Learning Portals – User Centric Gateway to Learning & Knowledge, we made the case for a Learning Portal to be responsive to business and learner needs.
In the upcoming part 2 of our webinar, we explore the different approaches to implementing portals depending on the needs and style of organisations, as “one size fits all” rarely works. We go into the details of optimising design and user interface, along with architecting information that is personalised for the user.
L&D Needs to Build Ecosystems for the Future of WorkLearningCafe
Work is becoming more interconnected as the pace of business increases. The Future of work promises to be one that is very different from today. LearningCafe considers that the simple view of organisational learning needs to evolve from a stand alone and linear view to one that recognises this interconnectedness and complexity involved in designing and implementing Learning/HR solutions.
Taking an ecosystem view removes the siloed thinking and recognises the connections, constraints and trade offs involved in designing effective Learning solutions.
In this webinar we discuss with an experienced panel about the Learning ecosystems and how it practically manifests itself in our day to day work.
Learning Portals – User Centric Gateway to Learning & KnowledgeLearningCafe
In the age of information glut, Learning Portals can provide Learners a way through the chaos to Learning and Knowledge that is useful and easier to access. However success stories are few and far between due to technology and design challenges. In many organisations the LMS is viewed as a Learning portal but not the one that provides the flexibility and user experience required.
With the Learning ecosystem becoming more complex and connected, Learner experience expectations are rising with an increase in the need to reduce costs.
Is it possible to implement a Learning portal that meets these requirements? We discuss with an experienced panel about the state of Learning portals and which way is it heading.
Date & Time : Thu, 29th June 2017, 12 – 1 pm Sydney Time
We Discuss
Should Learning Portals be the gateway for all learning and knowledge in the organisation?
What is user experience expected from a Learning Portal?
What are the benefits and drawbacks of using the LMS as a Learning Portal?
Can a Learning Portal be developed in the face of IT and policy restrictions?
Technology Capabilities – How to Build on Shifting SandsLearningCafe

Should L&D/HR be Architects of Lifelong Learning in the Workforce?LearningCafe
The Economist dedicated a January 2017 issue to Lifelong Learning, bringing to fore the need for everyone to be Lifelong Learners due to rapid changes in jobs and the skills required for them.
Lifelong Learning is here to stay. While individuals need to take responsibility to keep their capabilities up to date, organisations can support them by helping them create a mindset and skills for Lifelong Learning. L&D can be the architects by providing support and tools while being the advocate for Lifelong Learning.
In this webinar, we discuss if L&D currently advocates or has the mandate to support Lifelong Learning and how best they can achieve this.
