Transforming your organisational learning systems and culture

How do you get your organisation learning? That can be a challenge, and the larger and more dispersed the organisation, the bigger that challenge can seem. Nick Denholm, at Mars, had the advantage of learning infrastructure already in place – a traditional corporate university founded in 2004 – but needed to change and build on that to meet the learning leads of a multi-national organisation today. Senior leaders did not all understand the value of learning, employees saw the corporate university as just the LMS, and the university ‘colleges’ themselves had become siloed, patchily resourced, and – crucially – the LMS was not keeping learners satisfied. How did Nick move from this to a successful learning offering over 18 months, and what has the response been?

 

  • Identifying and building a transformation programme
  • Getting top-level buy-in
  • Making the value of learning clear, and building a learning brand
  • Building a comprehensive, business-focused offering
  • Making it work: getting the learning administration efficient and effective

Making personalized, collaborative learning a reality 
Joel Hellermark, CEO & Founder, Sana Labs 
 
Collaboration and personalisation are two trends that dominate contemporary thinking about workplace learning. 
 
Collaborative learning involves synchronous, interactive live sessions with groups of learners, and is powered by social dynamics and community. 
 
Personalization focuses on self-paced instruction that responds to the unique needs of every learner, and is powered and scaled by AI. 
 
Is it possible to combine these two? According to Joel it is. In this session, he will explore what it means to combine these two approaches in entirely new ways—using social dynamics to increase engagement while responding to each learner’s needs to improve learning outcomes. Join us to explore the exciting possibilities of personalized, collaborative learning.
