Make no mistake, we’re living in the era of on-demand. Think about the services you use every day, whether it’s what to watch, what to wear or what to eat, clicks and minutes are all you need to wait for your fix. If that! And when information is the commodity
Compliance is like a failing relationship at most companies! Two unhappy parties, plodding through a process that, deep down, they know doesn’t work or bring them any joy. Learners are fed-up with content that bores them to tears, and managers are close to tears being the nagging bore who
If we’re going to answer this in three minutes, we best get our skates on! The short answer is that this one isn’t an either-or answer, it’s a pick your moments answer. The trouble is, many companies go down this binary route, becoming wedded solely to either creating all
At a time when we’re spending roughly two-thirds of our week working from home and the rest in an office, it’s fair to say we’ve given people flexibility and autonomy around how and where they work. But can we say the same about learning? Are we building a community that
It might sound like the L&D equivalent of ‘if a tree falls in the woods’, but if learning experiences don’t solve problems, do they really make an impact? The trouble is, a lot of the time, people roll out training programs before truly understanding what the problem is, making

We’re incredibly excited to be re-launching our podcast this month, and we’re more passionate than ever about speaking to the people who are reshaping L&D within their organisations right now.

By the time we’ve entered the workplace, a lot of our perceptions around learning have shifted significantly. We’re no longer happy to be spoon-fed information or locked in classrooms for hours on end, we want freedom around how we learn and when/where we do it. In essence, we want
Ever stepped onto the platform just as the train pulls in? Or arrived at the bus stop at the exact second its doors pop open? Those ‘just in time’ moments feel great, and it’s really as simple as getting the timing right. Well, what if we told you there
We were all so busy moving our learning content online and making it an engaging experience that somebody forgot to tell compliance training! Well, not exactly, but there is a lingering, ironic air that the one mandatory type of learning is something to be dreaded. The one-size-fits-all content and typically
In the simplest terms, learning content describes resources used to develop the skills and knowledge that enable people to perform their roles better. But a better question might be, what was learning content and how has it evolved over the past five to ten years? If you’re not interested
It’s pretty easy to argue that learning is only as good as its content. It determines whether people buy into it or not, which can affect pretty much everything in their learning experience. Think about the times that you sat through seemingly endless slides or a full day of
