As a starting point for a successful transition to performance, we would like to provide you with some
food for thought that is based on our previous experiences:
- Overall business strategy should determine the
capability gaps that need to be closed at community, team and individual level.
At the same time each of these levels have their unique qualities and development
needs. Key challenge for an HR/Learning function is to co-create a blend of
learning interventions that collectively enable the realisation of the overall
business strategy, and at the same time leverage the full potential within the
organisation.
- There are many elements in an
organisation that determine the performance of individuals, teams and
communities. It is essential that an improvement program addresses the
root-causes of performance gaps. Learning will most likely be one of
the enablers, however should be clearly aligned with other business and
functional improvement initiatives to guarantee desired business outcomes and
reduce inefficiencies.
- To align
with the changing business dynamics, learning interventions need be developed faster and become:
- Cheaper
- More
relevant (address specific business/team/individual challenges)
- More
flexible (delivered when & where needed)
- More modular (so customers can select the parts that are relevant for them)
- Simpler
(nomination, registration, delivery, friendliness of supporting tools)
- 70% of our
learning happens in the workplace. Only 10% of our learning happens in formal
classroom settings. To maximise the impact of learning investments, staff development interventions must make a strong connection
between working and learning activities.
- New technological
developments will provide great opportunities to offer a rich blend of
learning interventions. Key challenge will be to create a learning
environment that:
- Inspires end-users instead of confusing them with all available options and information sources
- Combines all available knowledge sharing and learning solutions into one platform
- Seamlessly integrates related internal/external information systems (HR, Finance, 3rd party providers)
- Provides learning managers with an overview of relevant performance indicators, allowing them to make informed decisions.
