A recent Fortune/Deloitte survey found that 71% of CEOs are anticipating that this year’s biggest business disrupter will be a skills shortage - costing businesses trillions of dollars by the end of the decade.    Finding the right kind of training to address the skills gap is a huge challenge. The marketplace is awash with traditional programs intended to boost a standard array of skillsets. But many of these won’t complement the specific transformation you’re looking to make. Especially as L&D teams are increasingly challenged to align learning programs to their organization’s strategic business goals.  How you choose to train your teams has never been more important. Learn why work-based learning is superior to traditional training and 6 key reasons businesses are embracing it to future-proof their business.
The reality of business today means that organizations will have to grow the talent they need when they can’t find it. Developing talent internally over the long term will be most of the solution. You’ll want some recommendations in your back pocket when your CEO turns to you for answers. Learning managers will be seen as the go-to resources when it comes to compensating for major skill gaps in talent. By socializing learning, mobilizing the technology, creating strategic stretch assignments, partnering with institutions, and speaking to the bottom line, HR can make learning an integral solution to filling skill gaps in the organization.
As instructional designers we are constantly being bombarded with new technologies and new trends. It’s difficult to distinguish which are fads, and which are worthy of our investments of time and resources. The safest, and often most expedient course of action is to continue to focus on the delivery technology we know is NOT a fad, the traditional classroom. After all we’ve been using the traditional classroom forever, how can we possibly go wrong teaching in a classroom in front of an audience? As new technologies, like the virtual classroom, eLearning, and social media, are introduced, we continue to play it safe by trying to make these technology experiences replicate the classroom.
Content. Every employee development program requires it. Every employee needs content to learn. There are no exceptions. This is one of those rare absolutes we simply cannot escape. But if you read about the state of the training industry, it would be easy to walk away believing that the newest application or technology innovation is all you really need to really improve your employee training results. Delivering actual, business benefits from your employee learning and development efforts requires more than simply adding a new application or acquiring a new piece of super-duper technology. What organizations must do is deliver meaningful content to employees.  
The inner fire is the most important thing humans possess. - Edith Södergran A culture of learning is relevant to any organization. However, the need for healthcare organizations to promote this is critical since evidence-based practices are constantly evolving and your clients’ well-being depends on your staff’s knowledge and skill. To provide the best care and optimize health outcomes for persons served, healthcare leaders must tap into that inner fire within their staff and enable continuous learning opportunities. How can you tap into your staff’s inner fire and create a learning culture?

Transforming L&D for a Sustainable Future With the pandemic, mass working from home, and huge changes to working environments, 2020 saw incredible transformations across the working world. L&D teams had to pivot almost overnight. For many organizations, this initially meant transferring predominantly or completely face-to-face learning into the virtual realm. At LEO, we worked closely with, and spoke to, L&D professionals around the world and in many different industries throughout the pandemic, as we helped them respond. In doing so we also began to understand what has and hasn’t worked for them in such a transitional year. One of our favorite analogies heard in discussion with a senior L&D professional went something like this: "Railway tracks were built on the same basic dimensions as roads created for horse and cart. They didn’t think out of the box. We can’t do that this time. We need to develop ground-up virtual strategies." So, what does this mean for learning? Put simply, in order to transform learning in an effective, sustainable, and scalable way for the future, we shouldn’t simply adapt the old ways of doing things. Just because something worked before, that doesn’t mean it will work in a new, digital, distanced, and flexible learning context. We need to embrace the opportunity for innovative and agile transformation. So, as we look at the world of learning in this period of drastic change, what shifts are taking place, what are we learning, and how can we take these trends and observations into consideration as we prepare for the future? In this eBook, we’re looking back over some of the biggest challenges this industry has faced to see what can be learned and what our key takeaways are for 2021 and beyond.

It’s hard to find the perfect vendor in the oversaturated learning technology market (700+ LMS vendors alone). How do you know they’ll be the perfect fit without trying a demo? Who has the time to try hundreds of demos? What’s a Chief Learning Officer (CLO) to do? You need a cheat sheet. This guide will help you narrow down the musthave learning technology features to drive business growth. At the end of the day, you don’t need the perfect piece of learning technology, you need the right fit for your business. Unfortunately, learning technology traditionally focused on only one business segment—employee education. But today, companies use education to build their brands, foster communities, or generate revenue. That’s where traditional learning technologies fall short: they won’t deliver results for these new business models. There are three broad categories for education in the corporate learning space: Training companies and associations sell education programs to individuals or businesses to help them master professional skills, sometimes demonstrating mastery through a certification or credential. Extended enterprise is your network of learners who are not employees but require training on your products or services to be successful. This includes customers, channel partners, contractors, or franchisees. Employee education programs train the employees working for your business. This may include internally developed or off-the-shelf courses (or both). With this guide, you’ll be able to identify the non-negotiable features your business needs to be successful.

Creating and facilitating a training program is a huge undertaking. There's so much to consider, like who will receive training, what topics you'll train on, what type of content to use, how you'll deliver it, and so much more. One really important piece that frequently gets overlooked is determining the goals and metrics you'll use to measure the success of your training efforts. Many times, organizations don't look at the success of training efforts until it comes time to renew funding and leadership wants to see the return on their investment. This usually leaves program managers scrambling to pull reports on metrics like utilization or launches, which don't show changed behaviors or improvements in competencies. In order for your training efforts to be successful, it's important to determine what your goals are up front, as well as how you'll measure those goals. But sometimes creating the goals and metrics for training can feel just as daunting as putting together the program. In this ebook, you'll learn ten steps for creating goals and metrics for training in a manageable way. You'll learn: Why it's important to set goals and metrics for training How to continually monitor and measure the success of training using milestones Why you should share training goals with everyone How to set meaningful goals for your training program
