Modern workplace learning: a new approach for how we live and work today
Learning tools expert, Jane Hart, Sunder Ramachandran, Glaxo SmithKline Pharmaceuticals India, and Ger Driesen, aNewSpring, are to host a session at Learning Technologies 2019 about how embedding learning in the workflow requires a new approach to workplace learning and change in how L&D applies ‘digital’.
As L&D professionals, we can have all the digital tools and technologies in the world at our disposal, but if we fail to evolve our thinking about workplace learning then we are missing the point. Taking a new approach changes how we apply digital to what we do - shifting the focus away from traditional courses to embedding more learning in the flow of work. Jane Hart, founder of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies and Sundar Ramachandran from GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals India, chaired by Ger Driesen, aNewSpring, will be here to tell us how.
Workplaces, work and workers are changing fast and with that change, our learning habits are evolving. Employees are no longer reliant on enterprise training for their learning and performance needs. Modern workplace learning therefore does not just mean providing modern training, but also supporting individuals and managers to learn from their daily work as well as empowering individuals to take more responsibility for their continuous self-improvement and self-development at work.
“How can we move beyond the confines of the traditional paradigm of ‘training’? What do all these mean for the transformation of learning and performance design and practices? Jane Hart, Sundar Ramachandran and Ger Driesen will be at Learning Technologies to help us find out,” said Donald H Taylor, Conference Chair, Learning Technologies.
The session, “Modern workplace learning: a new approach for how we live and work today” takes place at Learning Technologies 2019, day one, 13 February, 15:30.
