The Future of Workplace Learning

Course Introduction

“The world is now changing at a rate at which the basic systems, structures, and cultures built over the past century cannot keep up with the demands being placed upon them.” 

John P. Kotter – Author of XLR8.

The future of workplace learning has already arrived. With pivotal societal changes, disruptions, and new economic orders, what we must learn and the demands on when, where, and how that knowledge is transferred have substantially changed. Accepting this change is not a choice when today's enterprises face an existential crisis. Managers are no longer required to manage people, processes, and systems with the same archaic Management style, just as employees' skills are redundant working in the same stagnant functional roles. With the demand for T-shaped employees, Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership skills from all levels of the organisation, Managers are finding themselves 'out of date' technically, psychologically, and strategically as are 'I' and 'X' shaped employees who must now transition into the pivotal 'T-shape' to support the Organisation's survival and growth.

In this training course, the delegates will learn how Organisational Agility, Customer Centricity, and Team and Technical Agility have replaced old L&D demands, how organisations create a continuous learning culture, the benefits to individuals who adopt life-long learning to survive, build, and grow in this new era, and what these changes look like in the near future.

Using advanced communicative methods specifically for the virtual learning environment, the delegates will also learn how to effectively transfer and receive knowledge that has an immediate positive impact on the individual's breadth of knowledge and learning capabilities and directly on an Organisation's ROI. While the topic is serious, it cannot be successfully understood without some unavoidable fun with the elements of behavioral change!

Objectives

After attending this training course, the delegates will be able to:

• Recognise how fast and effective learning cultures at all levels drive Organisations to respond to market changes and emerging opportunities successfully
• Define and explain the benefits of Collective Knowledge
• Define and compare I, X, and T-shaped employees and describe which organisations benefit from each
