Turning Up the Heat for Adaptive Learning
Natalie Richardson | Head of Client Delivery, Inkling
Traditionally, learning and development has centred on how we support people to develop specific knowledge and skills to take on known challenges in the workplace. As our environment rapidly changes, we are increasingly facing adaptive challenges: unseen-before, complex issues with no clear solution which cannot be solved with technical knowledge and skills. How do we train people in organisations to navigate this new normal?
What is needed is a radical shift in the way we approach L&D – to move from filling people’s cups, to expanding their capacity - and fast.
As it turns out, nothing expands and accelerates more than applying a little heat.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Understanding technical and adaptive challenges and how L&D needs to evolve to support people and organisations to address them.
- A framework developing capacity, not just capability.
- The power of 'heat experiences' and how to capitalise on them.
