SESSION OVERVIEW

Speaker: Nigel Paine (Managing Director at NigelPaine.com)

The challenges faced by learning teams are harder and more complex than at any time in the last ten years.

Companies expect learning provision to adapt to their emerging needs faster, more innovatively and at a lower budget than ever before. Staying still when everything else is moving at pace is not an option.

This talk will describe some of the big areas of innovation in learning around the world, drawing on information from recent visits to Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and the US. It will discuss simple models for innovation and the culture needed to support it.

•How learning is delivering on business derived matrices•What steps are being taken to accelerate learning efficiency•The strategies for just-in-time and just-for-me which are increasingly in place•The key role of technology for delivery, support, and back office•How user-generated content, social learning enablement and cheap tools are turning the old models of control on their heads
