I hate to say it, but medieval Europe might have had better job preparation than we do today. In short, they used apprenticeships. I’m glossing over a lot of details and caveats here but, if you wanted to be a blacksmith you found a blacksmith and talked them into teaching you. You then spent the next several years working for and with that blacksmith.

Gaming is a practice that has been around for a few decades. In the early 1950’s, computer scientists designed video games for the purpose of aiding research. The 70’s saw a rise in the number of gamers, and in the 80’s, gaming exploded. Since then it has maintained its popularity. These days, gaming is not just something people do to unwind after a long day at work.

If you were to ask a teacher if having a classroom learning management system is a good idea, most would likely think that it can be conducive to learning but still have reservations about it. These reservations are not about the technology but instead are with regards the implementation process. Managing a classroom LMS takes time, and when you have to plan lessons, grade papers, and help students in after-hours the prospect of a classroom based learning system is daunting.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Those who can, do; those who can’t do, teach”? If you’re a sales manager, you’re living proof that this is often far from the truth. Lots of companies take their top performing sales reps and turn them into sales managers at some point in their careers. These new sales managers have to then transition their role from the doer (selling products) to the teacher and coach (managing sales reps).

Let’s take a walk around the modern corporate learning ecosystem. Picture a verdant garden, where technological innovation has ploughed over a massive acreage of ineffective tools, like the LMS, to completely renew the landscape. Hear that?

When I wrote the L&D Revolution book, I created a chart that documented the different stages that L&D could go through on the way. I look at it again, and I see that I got (at least) one thing slightly off, as I talked about content and it’s more, it’s about integration and infrastructure. And I reckon I should share my thinking, then and now.

No matter the size of your company, there are going to be laws and regulations that mandate certain kinds of training. Companies have to stay in strict compliance with these mandates, or else face penalties. OSHA, for example, penalizes companies every year for lapses in required training or training inefficiencies. This creates a need for delivering compliance training quickly and efficiently, and then proving that the training was completed according to the pertinent laws and regulations.
