Learning departments are struggling with implementing and engaging learners through virtual and hybrid delivery methods.  No matter the modality, there must be a process of engagement in place that ensures successful transfer of learning to the workplace.  

It’s not as though culture change was easy before the pandemic.  Using training as a lever to move complex human systems into new patterns of behavior was more or less a ninja-level skill even before the whole world went on lockdown. Then everything changed, again and again (and again!). We went virtual in a sort of all-or-nothing, emergency shutdown way… and then we came back in a sort of catch-as-catch-can, hybridized, random sort of way.  Now we’re trying to get our footing, adding new ways of working to old ways of working in hopes of getting ahead of - or at least, catching up with - a rate of change that seems to be ever-accelerating.

Did you know that only 1 in 4 North Americans views salespeople as credible in what they say and do? Almost every sales organization attempts to qualify prospects, but they should be giving equal consideration to how buyers qualify (or disqualify) them. It's much more than just price and product.  

Upskilling, designed mainly for those already on the job, is the process of teaching employees new or additional skills.

The world of work has changed. Trends suggest that hybrid and flexible work practices will be a permanent landscape in organizations. Employees want to assert their options to have a more say on their work arrangements. Businesses are wrestling with creative options to retain workers and talent, while making them productive.

Most organizations say they are committed to diversity, equity or equality, and inclusion. But many diversity and inclusion initiatives are unsuccessful or even counterproductive, especially if they focus on diversity at the expense of inclusion. In an inclusive organization, everyone should feel respected and valued for who they are as an individual or as a member of a group.

The difference between digital learning and digital learning that delivers real change is harnessing the power of collaboration—through shared connection and engagement, sense-making, support, and sustained learner-to-learner networks over time.

Until last year, in-person, face-to-face training was by far the primary learning modality used to improve leadership and sales performance. The reason for that is not hard to understand—it has simply been the tried and tested way to deliver learning that leads to behavior change and performance improvement. When the ability to deliver face-to-face training was instantly cut off, the need for performance improvement to execute business strategy continued and, in some ways, became even more acute.

Struggling to build relationships virtually? You’re not alone. Harvard Business Review confirms that building new relationships is especially difficult in a virtual world. Relationships require certain qualities to grow and flourish, regardless of whether you are communicating face-to-face or virtually. And many of these essential qualities are missing or unrecognizable on virtual meetings and calls. This results in misunderstandings, miscommunication, and missed opportunities for a relationship to take root.
