Corporate Learning shouldn't be associated with boring workshops that employees are forced to attend every so often. Learning happens everyday.
The 70-20-10 model (Jennings et al.)
Roughly 70% of corporate learning comes from hands-on experience.
20% comes from co-workers (social learning, coaching, mentoring, etc.)
10% comes from formal professional development events/courses
Modern learners:
Are motivated and don't have time to wait for a workshop
Are curious, self-directed and reflect on their learning needs
Naturally use 4'D's of Learning
Discovery - Find things out using informal learning
Discourse - Interact with others through social learning
Do - Learn by doing through experiential learning
Didactics - Learn by being taught from formal learning
"An effective L&D department is a strategic business partner, not order takers for workshops."
"L&D's role is to proactively use data and insights to surface performance issues, foster an environment of curiosity and facilitate learning by allowing groups of people to use their collective experience, knowledge, and skills to solve complex problems. "
