Innovation for success in online learning
Andy Jones, Learning Consultant
In the learning world ‘innovation’ is often misconstrued as something that involves lots of money, lots of time and a fair amount of fluffy thinking. And the crunch point: too often it’s not something organisations really want, although they certainly need it. We pay lip service to it but when the pressure is on we revert to a default position of 'let's just get something out'.
Andy Jones passionately believes that innovation in learning is important and vital, not as a set of whacky brainstorms, with no coherent outcomes, but rather as an intentional series of choices, questions and a loose, but well defined process.
Join Andy as he draws on real experience, the GB Olympic cycling team and Malcolm Gladwell to explore:
- How many small changes can learn to massive effects
- Why true innovation is rarely about brand new changes
- Why innovation and permission go hand in hand
- What the simple innovation process is and how it works
- When it didn’t work, and what happened next
