The Learning Circuits Big Question for May is: How do we need to change in what we do in order to address learning/performance needs that are on-demand? This is about envisioning the path ahead while the landscape changes with every step. We all know that, in today’s world, change is a constant companion.

The problem in executing this shift is not in setting up these new learning environments and communities, but rather in embracing the change. As I thought about why the change from traditional to innovative is so hard for some (leaders) to embrace, my mind kept coming back to one thing.

In a world as ever-changing as today’s, it is frankly the height of hubris to assume that all problems can be solved by a few heads, but that is effectively what many organizations persist in doing. The problems facing struggling Fortune 500 companies are often similarly complex, yet few if any are utilizing a crowd-sourcing model.

Because the world of technology, and for that matter the use of technology in training, is changing so rapidly, most business managers are unaware of the promising user adoption solutions coming to the forefront. This ever-changing technological landscape is currently held captive by social media, and for good reason.

However, with the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), that’s all changed, and there is now significant financial incentive to adopt — and properly use — an EHR system. Up until now the effects of these failed implementations have amounted to little more than lost opportunities.

McGoldrick described an approach to evaluating training that wasn’t just about changes in learner behavior but about learners integrated with and interacting within their own workplace. The title was “Expanding ROI in Training Programs Using Scriven, Kirkpatrick, and Brinkerhoff,” which sounds pretty academic. But it wasn’t.

So how do we best provide our learners of today with the best possible support and encouragement?

Our world is becoming so complex, so quickly that it requires us to learn in a new way.

Some of my favorite passages are as follows: As the situation is now in terms of game-changing use of technology, we are asking faculty to take on all the risk of change, but without the effort to make that change work. It is like encouraging faculty to use automobiles in 1910 at a time when there were no roads to drive on.
