Experts and futurists are unanimous that the NEW important skill for all workers is critical thinking. Why is that? The reality is that we are in a global economy where change is rapid, the unpredictability of events abound, there is the shrinking of the new workforce, and of course, digitalization. Many of the roles demand beyond the usual tasks and roles. They need to be self-directed and constantly critically thinking about how to solve and manage the unknowns and unpredictability of work. 

In this webinar, Stacey Boyle, Learning Strategist & Value Consultant at EdCast by Cornerstone, will share the findings from a recent research study about the various factors that contribute to an organization’s overall learning health.

The results from the research suggest that despite extensive executive sponsorship, increased investments in learning and skilling, and tighter strategic alignment of the learning function, most organizations have yet to unlock the potential of a healthy learning culture.

Are games and gamification part of your learning strategy? We hope so. Game-based learning has been proven to increase employee participation, training enjoyment and knowledge retention. Perhaps your strategy is not quite right and consequently, you’re not seeing the desired results. We get it. The Game Agency interviewed five instructional designers about what could go wrong with a gamification strategy: They shared the 10 most common mistakes you may be making and how to fix them.

We now understand that gamification is more than throwing points, badges, and leaderboards at a program. And we’ve also peeked into the full potential of gamification with hundreds of possible mechanics, not to mention all the dynamics and other considerations that go into successful gamification. So where do we start? What do we have to have to create quality gamified programs, and what are the things we can add in later? This eBook provides some of the fundamental questions to inspire creative gamification design. It includes questions to ask yourself before you begin the gamification process, as well as questions to ask yourself continually throughout the process. Keep in mind, these questions will not apply to every situation and should be taken in context to what you are gamifying. Also, constant monitoring of feedback and metrics will be required as you slowly make incremental improvements, add new game features, and utilize new game mechanics.

Looking to add podcasting to your organization’s learning solutions, but not sure where to start? Podcasting provides a simple, low-investment option to meet the need for informal or casual learning.

Organizations that have successful learning programs are  very often ones that start learning right away — during  the onboarding phase. Having a fully integrated onboarding process and fully  integrated technology allows organizations to treat onboarding  as part of a holistic process designed to show value to new  employees (or employees in new roles), which has an impact on  organizational culture, employee resilience and business metrics such as customer satisfaction and even revenue.   Explore these concepts further in OpenSesame's newest eBook, "Onboarding in 2022 - What Has Changed and What Remains Critically Important."
