09h05 - 10h00: Andy Lancaster - Future focused learning - How L&D practice and roles must change

In a world in which the nature of work, the workplace and workforce are transforming at a relentless pace, organisations must respond to change.

The ability for organisations to successfully evolve is ultimately determined by the capability of their staff. Transformation of the organisation is inextricably linked to the transformation of individuals.

For that to be a reality effective learning has to be at the core and that requires a revolution in L&D thinking and practice.

This session explores how L&D activities and teams must evolve if they are to be effective and relevant.

Learning objectives:

  • Describe key changes in work, the workforce and workplace which impact learning
  • Explore 10 key practice shifts that L&D functions and professionals must embrace
  • Define key skills and capability gaps within L&D teams
  • Recognise new roles and tasks that L&D teams must undertake

11h35 - 12h30: Jo Cook - Learning in the future: Digital Body Language

In times past we used to deliver face to face and see people, hear them and interpret their physical body language. So many people now are worried about the lack of face to face, but with geographical distance we need to ensure that we can provide learning and support for people remotely.

Digital Body Language is getting to know people through their words, emoticons, activities in platforms and systems, through Skype and so many other ways of working. The new world is remote, digital, volatile and we need to make sure that we deconstruct how we normally support people's learning performance by reading their digital body language. Join Jo Cook to understand how body language isn't the be all and end all of communication and how understanding people in different ways is key to the future!

Learning objectives:

  • Unpack why face to face body language really isn't all it's cracked up to be
  • What to look for in the digital body language of the future
  • How to build opportunities for digital body language and capitalise on it

He has specialized in game-based learning since 2010. He is the founder and CEO of the company Actee, where they have developed a digital simulation platform with users in 22 countries. Leif is a happy and experienced keynote speaker, and loves to share his thoughts on gamification and workplace learning. That's why he is in Brussels 25 oct 2018.

13h30 - 14h25: Leif Sørensen - Workplace learning to the people

First, we will have a look at the statistics and theory about learning - and we will open the door to what a lack of focus on the transfer process means. What is the value of our learning if we forget it as soon as we escape the classroom or if we don't know how to apply it in our practice? Why are we so focused on the facilitation process and less focused on what the learning can be used for in our everyday work life? With these dilemmas in mind, we will take a step into the world of online learning games. I will give the participants an introduction to 10 years of experience with developing games for organizational development and change management - here with a strong focus on how simulation games have a unique power to engage and create lasting value for the learners.

Take Aways:

  • What value does games provide to L&D decisions.
  • Transfer model and how it is used in learning design using a game.
  • The value of reinforcement.

The field of performance development is changing and changing fast ~ from shattering old ideas to launching new innovations. With the Internet of Things giving us AI to AR to VR, where does workplace learning fit? How will it evolve? Disruption needs to start from somewhere, with someone. Will it be you?

The time has come to rethink how learning is co-opted into the workplace. The traditional system of workplace learning has participants compliantly sticking to scheduled curriculum that has been created without thought to the employees unique working circumstance. Our job as workplace learning professionals is to provide new and better opportunities for our people. It’s time to recognize that the "one-size fits all" approach doesn’t foster lifelong learning, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity—and those are the skills our people need to have to succeed in the workplace today.

Yes, there are times the rules require us stay inside the box. However, even while in the box - we can achieve great things by changing how we encourage development of critical skills and creativity.

In this session you will:

  • Connect with other innovative learning professionals
  • Recognize the strengths of your learning community
  • Create ongoing opportunities taking curiosity to the next level
  • Inspire yourself to re-engage in your lifelong learning journey
  • Most importantly find opportunities to create learning disruption in your organization
