Boosters to reinforce• Cue the brain not to delete it

us- 2 months behavioural – can you give us an example of how

you used the training to increase business impact?

Key Trends

• Neuroscience

• Mobile

• Social

• Reinforcement

• Transfer

• Embedding

Neuroscience in Learning • Referenced by EVERYBODY• Hard to identify true experts• Our own “David Rock’ – – Neuro Leadership Institute team

• Must inform our programs• Common sense

Mobile• The average smartphone is more

powerful that the PCs that took two astronauts to the moon in 1969

• There are more mobile devices than people on earth!

• 25% of global internet page views come from mobile devices

How does this influence the way we design training?

“It’s not information overload – it’s filter failure” Clay Shirky

Social• Can be defined as

“joining with others to make sense of and create new ideas”

• Both going down the hall, and posting on Twitter

• Self organised, or orchestrated by facilitators
