Integrated Talent Management Model
Hi everyone,Not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I thought I would try it:We are currently working on designing a graphic illustration of our new talent management approach. I am envisioning a picture that displays the key Talent Management elements and shows how they are connected to one another.Does anyone of you have a visual display of their talent management strategy and would be happy to share it with me? I would be more than grateful for any inspirations!If visuals…

As the newest member to this group (so far) I have enjoyed your previous comments. I'd like to throw in another type of 'blending' - the concept of time.
We have a/synchronous communication opportunities and can plan for blending these 'time factors' in our eLearning designs.
I have been working on the Pre-At-Post (PAP) model for ePedagogy at:

As an illustration of blending real-time eLearning events and Flash recordings --
I'd like to invite you to attend our live webcast for Work Based Learning the first and second Wednesday each month. Please book a place at:

If anyone has a question - I'm happy to reply on/offline public or in private.
Cheers

I use the term blended approach
1. Learning needs to be in context
2. Learning's a process, not an event
3. Learning's blended into work
Thank heavens for Business Intelligence!
However, I think many members of the community have explored alternative ways of blending a solution. If a person new to the idea of blending a solution were to sit down and try to do it by numbers, I'd rather see them do so along the lines of Alan's "blend of formal and informal" than the e:f2f notion.
You are so right when you say of corporates that "very few of them have any kind of systemic model for blending or do it in scale. Not because it wouldn't help them improve the efficiency or effectiveness of the learning process... but rather because they are still stuck in the naive belief that classroom training is the best model for them."
I worked for companies like that. I fought tooth and nail to introduce e-learning, but they were adamant that it wasn't right for their (ahem) culture. Puh-lease! I went subversive on the matter. I won't bore you with the whole story - I've blogged about it before. But I proved that the culture could handle elearning and also that elearning wasn't any one specific thing.
The thing that worries me a bit about the definition as it apparently still stands is that it is likely to cause one to focus on the technologies, the delivery platforms, the toolkit, rather than on the learner, the learning, the objectives.
Karyn - all I was pointing out was that the blended term did have a specific reference to the use of e and traditional learning. That means it wasn't meaningless, although whether you consider this definition to be meaningful may be more debatable.
And let's face it, when we blend a learning solution, as Mark says, it's the teaching we blend... or at best, the learner experience. Maybe only the learner can blend actually the learning.
But as to Don's original question of how to put it to best use, I would say that it is a case of analysing the needs and tha nature of the target audience, balancing those against the objectives of the commissioning client, taking account of the provisions in place, being conscious of the budget available and being creative within those constraints.
Sometimes this might result in a wholly online provision. Sometimes, there might be a combination of online and face to face. Sometimes there may the requirement for an assessment (such as in regulated industries). Sometimes a book will do the trick. Sometimes formal classroom workshops. Sometimes coaching and mentoring. Almost always some measure of performance support to help learners feel safe. Sometimes it is enough to point people at existing resources and platforms on the www and shout "Go!"
