Transform Your L&D With Digital

What it's about

Key chapters

• It’s about performance, not learning

  The transformation of Learning & Development must start with how the function sees itself. This chapter looks at how to use agile responses to performance problems that can impact people today, rather than in several months from now when a programme has been designed, launched and finally attended.

• Make decisions with data

  More agile approaches to Learning & Development can help you truly understand performance and capability gaps by working closely with employees to gain meaningful data, test assumptions, and build prototype solutions that can be improved.

• Influence the performance of everybody, every day

  This chapter explores how refocusing away from the ‘course’ will give organisations the opportunity to potentially influence the performance of everybody every day.

• Resources first, supplemented by formal events

  If employees are finding their own resources and developing themselves online, how can L&D help them to do this better whilst growing internal awareness and capability that will positively impact performance?
  
  
  
  

• Empower employees to be self-sufficient and to contribute

  Currently managers, team mates and mentors provide formal and informal PLNs at work. But in ever more complex environments, to have the ability to access influential business figures and other professionals in a field of expertise could have great professional benefit and also impact the work that is done.

• Measure efficacy, not learning

  Traditional measures of L&D rarely logically equate to ‘learning’ or ‘performance improvement’. This chapter explores how a data-driven Learning & Development function has the opportunity to measure improvements on the data collected.

• Leading so that others will follow

  The reality many of us face is that despite being ready to operate within a modern L&D function, the setup is governed by traditional expectations, often from others with significant influence. This chapter looks at how you can lead your organisation and its people to a far more effective L&D experience.
