It’s a story old as time… There is a need to roll out companywide sensitivity training, food safety training, or sexual harassment training, everyone must participate and it must stick. Being the good L&D person you are, you put together a training program. You design the program with engaging interactions. You create a powerpoint that will not put people to sleep.

I’m often asked the following question: “How do you convert traditional content to microlearning?” The answer? You don’t. Well, not exactly … Before we get into the details, first, let’s revisit the definition of microlearning : Microlearning is an approach to training that delivers content in short, focused bites. To be effective, microlearning must fit naturally into the daily workflow, engage employees in voluntary participation, be based in brain science (how people actually learn), ad

In yesterday’s post , I quipped about how L&D wasn’t doing well, and I want to clarify my perspective. Because, you see, I’m an optimist! I really only complain to create improvement. And so let me wax philosophical about why we can and should be hopeful about L&D. Organizations need to learn. And they learn as a function of individuals learning, alone and together.

Reward programs can build customer loyalty, show appreciation, and promote motivation. Most of us have heard that it’s easier to retain a current customer than recruit a new one. In fact, some research in online retail suggests that just 1% of a website’s users generate as much as 40% of its revenue. Old customers stick with what they know, and if their first purchase works out, they’re likely to buy more on their return.

In today's digital learning boom, it's easy for university educators to feel like they're losing control of their own classrooms. As power shifts towards university administrations instead of educators, and e-learning becomes more prominent, learning content is becoming increasingly centralized. Instead of perceiving technology as a threat to their independence, university educators should see it as a chance to share the responsibility for creating e-learning content.

Following is an excerpt from our new book, Minds at Work: Managing for Success in the Knowledge Economy (Chapter Four). . Push training is a siloed, top-down, management-driven approach that sends people to formal training events where they receive nice-to-know information—as in, it will be nice to know someday. People are not connected to one another during or after the training event, and do not collaborate.

It’s about the state of Learning & Development, and sums up one perspective fairly succinctly: L&D isn’t doing near what it could and should be, and what it is doing it’s doing badly.
