We’re well aware of how learning in organisations is changing with new technology-led tools – but how easy is it to embrace these opportunities and lead a shift in learning culture? The current swathe of learning technologies – from learning management and enterprise systems through to digital content and delivery methods such as micro and blended learning models – are paving the way for fundamental shifts in business outcomes. Fully understanding the impact these tools can bring and harnessing these opportunities effectively means we have to step back and look at the bigger picture. This outline of my discussion on modern learning explores what it means and why we need modern learning methods, and the strategic advantages a modern learning strategy can give you: speed to competence, retention of talent and raising the bar on capability.
