Bigger and Closer: The Only Place to Relocate To

Nigel Paine | Author & L&D Expert
Michelle Ockers | Founder & Chief Learning Strategist, Learning Uncut


This session will try to convince you that getting into the heart of the business is a critical function for today’s L&D. This means direct engagement and substantial fieldwork, and this can be uncomfortable as you see how staff experience the company on a day to day basis.

We will look at a few case studies of organizations that have successfully integrated the workplace and L&D which has brought new insights and a very different focus.


KEY TAKEAWAYS
  1. Stop being an order taker.
  2. Deliver in work and retrieve the insights from work to share them across the whole organisation.
  3. Think about organisational learning not just lots of work for the most talented individuals.
