have delivered, and how they know. I’d appreciate your support in asking those challenging, but vital, questions. Of course, we’ll discuss the often
question? Now is your chance. The themes of change, technological
disruption and managing complexity continue on day two of the Conference. We have a real focus on personalisation and workflow learning – meeting needs as they arise and working with the extraordinary organisational memory which so often goes untapped. As ever at World of Learning, sessions
will draw on evidence. Sharing new research from CIPD and taking it beyond ‘our survey told us’ into ‘and here’s what that means and how we can all learn from those who are having remarkable success’. Often, L&D folks ask me how we influence people in our organisations. People will talk about ‘getting a seat at the table’ –
or keeping it when we have been given the opportunity to genuinely influence strategy. Without evidence, will we neither gain nor deserve a seat at the table. And evidence is vital. Not the evidence
of user and viewer numbers, course completions or bums on seats in training rooms, but real evidence of what works, what delivers performance improvement and what positively changes the metrics which the business is concerned about. We have more data than ever, but not all data is useful nor understood. Just because something can be measured doesn’t mean it should be (and certainly doesn’t mean it is important!) Throughout the Conference I’ll be asking contributors to talk about the impact that they
overused and misunderstood term ‘Learning Culture’. We all know that learning works in organisations when it is integrated with a positive culture and a well-thought-out strategy. But we also recognise that talking about culture ain’t enough! To go beyond paying lip service to organisational culture, we have to understand it, work to influence it and call out unhelpful and toxic cultures which undermine our journey to improve performance. Finally, I have set myself the task of pulling all this together in the closing key note and hopefully giving you all a template for applying what you learn over the packed two days of the Conference so that the impact of your investment in your own capability starts from October 12. I look forward to being inspired and to going on this journey with you all. n
