Learning leaders understand the importance of lifelong learning but many still struggle with developing and delivering around the concept continuous learning. How do we move from a singular learning event to an ongoing process leading to behavior and performance change? We are at a pivotal point in learning, which offers the perfect opportunity to move learning from a box to check to a process necessary and integral to employee and organizational success.
In this session, we will discuss ways to capitalize on the changes brought about by the pandemic to bring your learning programs to the next level, starting with the shift from more formal learning delivery to new best practices for learning in the virtual and hybrid, work-from-home environment.
We will discuss how to apply lessons learned during the pandemic to improve employee learning and increase performance. We will focus on how technology and the integration of methods such as chunked learning, increased learning frequency, and peer-to-peer opportunities move learning offerings from one-off events to full-fledged learning journeys. You will leave the session ready to bring your learning to the next level with simple techniques and ideas with immediate applicability and impact.
