Upside Learning

I discovered something interesting when trawling my feeds this morning. Google has sneak launched a new way of search aggregation result, technology blogs are tripping over it. Google calls it ‘ What Do You Love? ’. It’s a strange and quirky way to look at search results. Stranger still there is no mention of this on Google’s blog.

Dashe & Thomson

A friend of mine recently sent me a fascinating article titled “ The Shrinking of the Non-Social Web ” which contained some real eye-openers.

The Course Catalog Is (Should Be) Dead

The Performance Improvement Blog

Recently, I was asked a very thought-provoking question by the director of HRD for a large organization. I was explaining the “5As Framework” to her and she asked, “What are the implications for what we do here?” I immediately launched into my usual speech about getting managers of learners involved in actively supporting the learning process.

Generally the difficulty comes from achieving a balance between quality and quantity i.e. it isn't too difficult to sell yourself if you have a particular brand but when it comes to selling others as you have to do if engaged by a corporate consultancy, selling becomes a another challenge all together.

What Does (Should) Your CEO Expect from Training?

CLO Magazine

Frankly, many CEOs and senior leaders don’t expect much from HR or training. They have risen through the ranks not expecting much and, for many, their experiences have confirmed these expectations. Historically, HR and L&D leaders have done little to change this low expectation. They have reinforced the idea that HR (and L&D) is unique in that most of what is does cannot be planned, managed or measured like other aspects of business.
