How To Analyse Performance Problems
One of the things I hear often from many of my clients ask me for assistance is that they “we need a social learning program“. The types of questions that they ask of me are: “How can we get our people to talk/collaborate/work with each other?” “How do we get our people to share knowledge?” “How can we ensure […]
Practices That Don’t Serve Our Clients
Ever since I can remember, every role I’ve had within corporate Learning and Development teams has involved some element of systematising an internal process such as capturing the client enquiry through to servicing the client.

LearnX 2013 Strategies for Applying the Flipped Classroom Model
Bob Lee and Jim Recker spoke on the Strategies for the Flipped Classroom Model for Business Learning at LearnX through a live online event on Go To Meeting so that we could see it in action…(although they did mention it was ironic that they were lecturing to us via this medium….) “Business learning has replicated […]
