ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
L&D at enterprise scale is very difficult. To say the least. This is why so many start and end by ‘providing learning’ in the hope that some of it sticks and makes a difference. But the opposite to relying on hope is to stand for addressing skills gaps and holding yourself accountable to actually closing them. This is what Ryan has aimed to achieve in his roles and what he shares with us in this episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lead from the front. Start with skill-based learning now.
- Treat your skills-based framework as an organic document. Update it regularly.
- AI is transforming skills-based learning. Ryan shares several real-world examples, during the podcast.
- You need to complement what AI tells you with your own research and consultation and be specific about your business needs.
- AI is great at giving you a foundation for discussion. You no longer sit down with a blank piece of paper.
- AI frees up an incredible amount of time, enabling you to be far more effective.
- Prioritise the skills that matter most, something many people still do not do.
- Build out blended learning experiences.
- At the end of the training session, provide a call to action that ensures that new skill is actually used.
- Provide an independent validation of the skill.
- Invite people who have applied that skill to demonstrate it and share how they have used it in their job.
- Go where the positive energy is. Collaborate with managers who want your help and get them to share the results. The nay-sayers and those short on time will soon be asking for your help.
BEST MOMENTS
'Skill-based learning is not knowledge-based learning. So instead of focusing on what you know, it focuses on what you do.'
'AI is going to do a great job. But then you need to round that out with your own work.'
'Be dogged in identifying what that business metric is that this stakeholder, wishes to improve.'
