So here’s a first take at addressing fear in learning. The mantra, to be clear, is that you have 3 major hurdles to overcome in getting someone to ‘buy in’ to learning: I do need this. That includes establishing the need, removing false conceptions, and addressing fear in learning.

The eLearning Guild, in queuing up interest in their Learning Solutions/Performance Ecosystem conference, asked for some thoughts on the role of technology and training. That is, we can make the face to face time more effective, extend the learning beyond the classroom, and move the classroom beyond the physical space.

Right now, many organizations have training operations going on: people traveling to a location to sit down and have knowledge dumped on them, perhaps including a knowledge check: show up and throw up. I think the first step is to kill all training. Whether it’s 70:20:10 or some other model, there simply has to be a better way.
