Locating Your Resources
- Originally we had “on shoring” making your product / service at your local location
- Then it looked as if you could deliver as good a product or service from a lower cost area so organisations “off shored”
- Now for many organisations we have the situation of “No Shoring” – it doesnt matter where you are you just need fast upload times and high definition capabilities
Learning activities are everywhere
- Learning is happening everywhere
- In the centre is the learner , the tools and the activities
- Need to collect the experiences that matter
- Quantifiable
- Sharable
- Trackable
Demand Sensing for New Opportunities
We operate in a world where things are constantly changing and evolving. Therefore shouldnt it be the case that our training needs to constantly change. Times change so quickly often customers don’t know what they what and they need a thought leader to help.
The issues are complex could coaching conversations be a way to share the learning
- Your organisation is ultimately highly complex
- When you are communicating to customers there are inefficiencies at the point of engagement
- Your customer is ultimately highly complex
So you need to ask yourself “what are the new industry needs? ” e.g. the bridge is the solution, crossing the river is the need
Making Time For Your Marketing And Learning In summary
- There is a need to shift to Just In Time learning
- Micro enablement of learning is critical – making things bite size
- The only sustainable competitive advantage is our ability to learn faster than the competition
