I asked for ideas on what competencies a future learning and performance professional will need to succeed in the next 5-10 years and led a session at the Learning Solutions Conference in March focused on Who Is the Next-gen Worker (and Are We Ready for Them?). With the advances in social media, technology, and mobile … Continue reading

Conversation in and around IQPC’s 14th Annual Corporate University Week had a common theme focused on where the learning professional and the Corporate University belong in today’s 70-20-10 learning model (“Business is changing – are we keeping up?”). There was a lot of talk about how the corporate “U” has its traditional structure of “colleges” … Continue reading
