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
I had several personal responses to my last post that can best be summed up as, “me too!” One person recounted an internal client who had to have a CBT although what really was needed was a job aid the workers could hang on their badge lanyards for quick reference! It was a reader who … Continue reading
I been talking with a number of people recently on topics such as creating a community of practice (CoP), expanding professional development programs, and integrating talent management into learning past compliance. In all of these discussions someone has brought up the need to develop and deliver “training” programs. When I dig into the question a … Continue reading
We use the term, we include in job descriptions but what is this “competency” stuff and what will it include for future learning and performance professionals to succeed in the next 5-10 years?

There was a lot of talk about how the corporate “U” has its traditional structure of “colleges” … Continue reading

However a recent discussion found me on the side against SoMe when my colleague was waxing poetic on the interactions, the threads, the discussions, the variety of topics, the breadth of people involved until I asked, “but … Continue reading
Over six years ago Sir Ken Robinson proposed a education system that would nurture rather than, as he states, “kill creativity”. This idea is around exploring, learning as you go, and experimenting alone as well as in groups; business is following this path even if they don’t know it. Harold Jarche wrote recently that the … Continue reading
I break with thee oh old LCMS – enough! As we move to support people at the point of need the key focus should be on the tools that help identify the need first and then guide the solution to those in search. ~95% of an employee’s time is not spent in training, they are … Continue reading
I am fascinated by people, confused and bemused as well! A key focus in learning is developing people and I am delving into leaders, the impact one can make and how organizations grow and evolve. Fairly recently a leader in an organization was defined by their department or division and this role had relatively clear … Continue reading
