Many organizations today are building learning stacks using multiple learning platforms and systems. The problem is, most of these platforms are content-based and are focused only on passive content consumption, which leads to poor knowledge application and retention.    So, how do you design a learning stack that’s centered around REAL learning?   Download this just-released eBook and learn how to build a learning ecosystem that demonstrates outcomes and value.

Most leadership training and learning are based on the "Look at me" or "Look at them" emulation of best practices. In the real world, learning to lead is about a mixture of skills, attitude and depth of perception. It is challenging and difficult to learn in classroom or in emulation, simulation or lecture and exercises. In this session, Ray will show you experience-based learning using 10 real-life situations that challenge, provoke and inspire learners to learn how to lead.

In this next chapter in our continuing WhiteSpace webinar series, Heather Sager tackles the pernicious problem of meetings and how they gobble up talent capacity and time to work.

Will this be recorded?" It might just be the most commonly asked question at the start of virtually every training event. And the good news is that nowadays, you can almost always answer, "Yes." Great. But then what? According to a Wainhouse Research study, 87 percent of employees1 agree that having access to recorded training classes, webinars, and other events makes it easier to revisit crucial information when it's needed most. Today, recording training sessions is quickly becoming standard practice. And the benefits are well known. Among the many positives, video helps learning and development (L&D) teams provide employees with a comprehensive resource to reference after the training ends, and also provides employees unable to attend with access to the information on-demand. But good intentions too often fall short once the training session ends and the recording stops. For all its benefits, video also presents challenges when it comes to storing, sharing, and even playing recordings. Left unsolved, those shortcomings make video content burdensome for employees simply looking for quick information that helps them perform their jobs. Fortunately, there is a solution. A video content management system (or video CMS) solves the most common problems of managing and sharing video. In this paper, we'll review the five biggest challenges organizations face when using video to support corporate learning. Then we'll examine how a video content management system helps overcome those challenges to better enable video-based learning.

Are traditional Learning & Development (L&D) approaches broken? You want to help your people develop key skills and behaviors that will propel your organization forward. Yet studies reveal employees forget up to 60% of what they hear in a typical L&D session—on the exact same day they hear it. And research shows that 7 out of 10 employees fail to ever transfer what they learn to their actual jobs. Something is clearly not working. Clinging to legacy L&D methods is no longer an option. You need a way to add strategic value to your organization—especially at a time when L&D must prove ROI and business outcomes such as retention and P&L.

The perception of learning programs in your organization is a fundamental factor in determining the success of those initiatives. That perception begins with past experiences, and if you are working to enhance and improve outcomes, that sometimes means you have a big uphill climb just to encourage participation.
