reaching and teaching employees in a 24x7 connected world - mlearn conference 2014
DESCRIPTION
In order to develop a learning strategy that responds to the rapidly evolving world, learning professionals need to look at the business environment differently. On the one hand, the traditional business needs of the organization will continue to be critical and must be served. On the other hand, the next generation of learning strategies must place equal importance on the actual performance and learning needs of employees. Future learning strategies will look different, be delivered differently, and be led by a new breed of learning professional. In this session, you will learn what core elements you need to include in learning strategies to keep up with the evolution of business. You will explore content strategy, delivery to mLearning and social learning platforms, and an expanded set of competencies that tomorrow’s learning professionals will require. You will leave this session prepared to develop a comprehensive learning strategy that takes into account the evolving nature of business and work. In this session, you will learn: How to develop a next-generation learning strategy for your organization The importance of and how to build a content strategy How to incorporate mobile learning into your next-generation learning strategy A new competency model for learning professionals Audience: Intermediate managers and directors with a baseline understanding of learning strategy. Technology discussed in this session: Mobile learning, video (short form) training, and social learning. http://www.bizlibrary.com/news-and-events/conferences/mlearncon-2014.aspxTRANSCRIPT

What does it mean?
More connected?
More alone?
More risk?
Or, just more?
For the first time, an entire generation has
grown up watching content on their own
terms. This generation is defined by the
Internet, mobile, and social – consuming
content when and where they want. Gunnard Johnson, Google's Advertising
Research Director
WHAT I HOPE YOU’LL LEARN:
Starting point = a whole new approach to strategy
New strategy requires new approach to
content
New approach to content =
content/technology cannot be
separated
What does this next gen learning
professional look like?
In a world of learning and development where complexity is the enemy, [organizations need a] simple and nimble approach to delivering high quality learning, anywhere, anytime.

Traditional approaches
won’t work…
No classroom is large enough.
No individual is smart enough.
No response time is fast enough.
No intervention is complete enough.
No program lasts long enough.
No solution is global enough.
…
Attempting to do more of what has been done in the past is not the answer. We need to do new things in new ways.
won’t work…
Employee learning today is about preparing employees for jobs that don’t exist, yet…
