- Why do people learn? There are many reasons: to acquire knowledge or skills, solve a problem, improve performance, keep up to date, because of interest etc. They are required to learn continuously They need to manage and organise their own learning Learning is a personal experience (based on needs and preferences) Based on: The Learning in the Workplace survey has now had over 6,000 responses from 69 countries worldwide, running since 2010.
- Curation – do not need to reinvent wheel, curate resources on a topic or curate scheduled events. Move away from Not Invented Here to Proudly Found Elsewhere! Courses to resources – smaller courses or resources that can be reused for multiple purposes (short pieces of content) Micro-learning – bite sized learning, daily tips or activities If doing classroom learning – focus on collaboration and application of real world problems instead of teaching. Providing a flow of resources and activities (where appropriate) Social learning experiences – ongoing conversations, support knowledge sharing, Modern Learning - Individuals organise and manage their own learning and development. Therefore academic development to support self-organised and self-managed learning.
- Promote Continuous Learning: Encouraging and supporting individuals to organise and manage their own continuous self-improvement and self-development – both formally and informally, as well as providing a continuous flow of (created or curated) learning opportunities. Create Modern Content, Events and Experiences: Using modern formats and delivery methods to create training and on demand performance support – for compliance or conformance, or (where appropriate) to address performance problems. Support Continuous Improvement at Work: Helping managers grow and develop their teams and building a knowledge sharing culture as well as helping individuals get the most out of their daily work. Context is also important: as the environment may pose certain constraints on the learning and development initiatives

- Completion: very few
- Completion: Almost all
- Completion: Still to do
- Advocacy and change management – it is a process that takes time and not everyone adapts at the same rate Time management - be mindful of academic responsibilities and time to implement takes longer than planned Institutional needs and individual plans – getting the balance right Run evaluations after each formal intervention
