Connections matter! Andy Lancaster, Learning Champion and Lead at the CIPD shares his perspective on the report. Throughout this report, the research and insights inspire learning professionals to establish relationships that underpin cutting-edge practice. Collaborative connections are the structural warps
and wefts that enable innovation to be weaved into each unique context. The report calls out key areas in which new, or reenergised connections must be forged. Firstly, connections with the organisation are vital. Effective learning is aligned to strategic priorities; that requires practitioners to step out of learning ghettos to engage with stakeholders through active listening and diagnostic questions. It demands a shift from reactivity to proactivity, moving beyond comfortable course-centric methods to integrating learning and performance support into work. Building strong connections with
managers is crucial in the face of pressing needs for upskilling and reskilling. In a fast- changing world enhancing team capability to support high performance is imperative. Hard pressed managers will be energised by the potential for enhanced productivity in the face of increased demands. Establishing connections with employees is paramount, empowering individuals to pursue career aspirations in a fast-changing job landscape. That requires talent pathways, options for self- directed learning and a heightened eye on employee engagement and retention in the context of a wider skills scarcity and quiet quitting, the phenomenon in which significant numbers of employees are staying in their jobs but are disengaged and only doing what it is required of them, nothing more.

It’s also vital for courageous connections with the fast-emerging realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Learning professionals must expand their vision beyond AI’s ubiquitous use to generate text, by exploring how it can revolutionise adaptive, personalised learning experiences. Finally, all aspects of learning practice must be underpinned by a passionate connection with evidence-based principles and a wholesale rejection of out-dated methods. The golden thread throughout this
report is the pressing need for learning professionals to connect with the organisation, strategic priorities, managers, employees, emerging AI, and evidence- based practice. As the poet and scholar John Donne famously wrote: “No man [or woman] is an island”. If ever there was a time for learning professionals to prioritise connections, it’s now! n
