This document discusses preparing for the future of learning in healthcare. It summarizes findings from a survey that show top learning organizations are more likely to establish clear goals, think differently, understand learners, use appropriate technology, make learning a team effort, provide ongoing training, use common sense frameworks, keep improving, and implement learning solutions. The document advocates for using experiences and resources to support on-the-job learning. It acknowledges challenges healthcare faces in adopting new learning technologies and developing skills, and provides recommendations for defining needs, designing practical support, and iterating based on user feedback to prepare for future changes.

How to kickstart your learner-centric strategyLaura Overton
How do you help people learn best? By putting them in charge. That’s the thesis of Laura Overton of Towards Maturity and Teresa Rose of E.On Group, who bring together research and experience to demonstrate that a learner-centric approach is not only desirable, it’s a necessity for successful learning at work.
96% of L&D leaders want to increase self-directed learning but we continue to struggle to connect and engage. It's time that L&D worked smarter, to stop blaming their staff for not engaging and to start listening instead.
This practical session will consider how true learning organisations put staff capability at the forefront of their thinking by placing staff at the heart of their strategy. When L&D provide staff with an active voice productivity and engagement flow. Join this interactive panel with Tesco and E.on to find out how to kick start a customer-centric strategy that delivers growth, profit and business transformation:
Challenge your assumptions about how staff really learn
Banish your organisation’s preconceptions about learning
Find out how listening more helps you achieve more
Inject vital evidence to win hearts and minds of managers
Crucial research on the learning voice
Are You Equipped to Lead L&D Into the Future?Laura Overton
This presentation explores the new skills required by L&D in a VUCA business world and how to build them. 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.

5 Tips for Creating a Customer-Centric Learning StrategyLaura Overton
A self-directed and personalised learning experience is high on the agenda of most learning professionals. Despite new technologies, new content and new models of learning, we still struggle to engage and connect. So do L&D leaders put learners at the centre of their ‘learner-centric’ strategies? Or do we just think that we do?
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.

In this webinar delivered by Laura Overton, we looked at:
- Evolving L&D - what new skills are needed?
- How to develop skills when time and money is short
- What's worked and what hasn't for other organisations
- How to prioritise your next steps

5 Barrier to Effective Employee Training Programs and How to Crush Them | Web...BizLibrary
Even in organizations where training and development priorities are closely aligned with business goals there’s plenty of room for improvement.
So, the question is what barriers do we need to be overcome if training and development departments are to increase the value they add to workforce performance and productivity, and remain relevant?
In this webinar we'll outline the 5 barriers to effective training and development programs and best practices for overcoming those barriers.
1. Efficiency - leveraging technology
2. Status Quo - inertia and risk aversion.
3. Convenience - throwing training at the problem and hoping it works.
4. Training Mindset - moving from a focus on training to performance.
5. Manager Support - managers are the single most important factor in improving employee performance.

Most organizations operating in today’s job market face challenges associated with baby boomer retirement and employee turnover. Those challenges include the retention and maintenance of critical job knowledge and the effectiveness of subsequent hiring efforts with a labor pool formed by a growing number of millennials.
How do organizations navigate today’s labor market while ensuring that a knowledge vacuum isn’t created in the process?
Based on recent research completed with more than 225 learning organizations, this session will share the strategies and best practices learning leaders have adopted for managing the talent pipeline through all phases of the employee lifecycle: pre-employment development, onboarding, knowledge capture and knowledge transfer.

“We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist… to solve problems that we don’t even know are problems yet.” — Richard Riley, former U.S. secretary of education
Corporate learning leaders have inherited one of the most difficult challenges of a changing world: Preparing a workforce for jobs that don’t yet exist. This webinar explores the vital skills and learning required to compete in the 21st century.
Charles Fadel, global lead for education at Cisco Systems and co-author of 21st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times, and Michael E. Echols, Ph.D., executive vice president of Bellevue University and executive director of the university’s Human Capital Lab, bring their unique and complementary perspectives to what has been called the “most important conversation of our times.”
What do next generation leaders say they need to be 'future ready'? This report is from 200+ next generation leaders attending the #AICPA_EDGE Conference in Las Vegas in August, 2016.
Next Gen leaders will be called to lead in a different environment than many leaders of the past. These times of exponential change will require a different skill set. They will be leading in transformational and adaptive times which require new skills and new practices.
This report highlights top challenges, top skills, insights from the session and more.
These polls were integrated during a presentation on "The Future Ready CPA" where we covered the 5 C's - Context, Certainty, Capacity, Competency, and Core Purpose & Values.
We are living in “exponential times” where the size, scale and scope of change is incredible. That means there are incredible opportunities for those who can see through the fog of uncertainty and anticipate what’s next. The biggest opportunity is to harness the wisdom of our older generations with the fresh perspectives of the tech-savvy younger generations. The next generation of leaders is enthusiastically ready to have a seat at the table. The future is not created; the future is co- created. Let’s get to work!

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
