Due to the nature of my role I have posited these arguments in terms of employee development. Performance. Capability powers performance, so the capability framework is a tool you can use to improve all four subparts of Performance in the 4+4 Part Employee Lifecycle. Performance Management. Recruitment.

Australia’s performance in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games was impressive, even for a nation that considers barely scraping into the top 10 a national cause for concern. What was surprising this time around was the proportion of gold medals to total medals – a whopping 37% – which of course makes all the difference in the final tally.

So it was with much surprise that, upon starting my new role in a global bank, charged with innovating its learning & development offering, I encountered the reverse! These needs are so diverse within and across all the different job roles that the task is an almost comical impossibility. Corporate MOOCs have a delivery vehicle.

And when I use the word pedagogy in my capacity as an L&D professional in the corporate sector, I’m referring to the full gamut of training, coaching, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, on-the-job experiences and performance support for my colleagues across 70:20:10. Again, regardless of the age of the target audience.

If the raison d’être of learning & development is to improve performance, then our newly acquired knowledge needs to be converted into action. Bums on seats misses the point of training which, let’s remind ourselves again, is to improve performance. There is no try. Next, I suggest we go practical.

In doing so, the learner becomes better equipped to perform in their environment. • Performance appraisals. The role of the L&D professional is to facilitate it: • Communities of practice. Does all this warm and fuzzy stuff really make a difference to the performance of the business? • Job aids.

Consequently, I envisage L&D professionals playing important roles in both curating and supporting MOOCs for their colleagues. In terms of the former, it’s important that the right MOOC be connected to the right employee so that it’s relevant to their performance on the job.

In a previous role I had cause to draw up an employee lifecycle. After much thinking and reflection, I realised the employee lifecycle can be distilled into just four main parts: (1) Recruitment; (2) Onboarding; (3) Performance; and (4) Offboarding. Performance is the raison d’etre of recruitment and onboarding.

What’s your role in the workplace? To work effectively in those environments, the model would demand significant shifts in roles and responsibilities away from the status quo, towards what I suggest the employees should be doing instead. Allow me to elaborate… The role of the learner. The role of the manager.

No longer is formal training the central offering with informal learning relegated to a support role. The “informal first” principle revolutionises the corporate learning model. On the contrary, when we adopt the informal first mindset, informal learning becomes the central offering. Formal training becomes value add.

Whether or not we agree the role of the university is to prepare students for the workplace, I think it’s going that way due to market forces. Having said that, I believe the managers in the organisation have a critical role to play in leading by example. The caveat of the performance centre. So you need to Hire a Trainer?

There are plenty of other examples, such as a certain level of product knowledge, that may be critical to the role. In a practical sense, this means we should map required competencies to each role and assess the employee’s proficiency against each one. At the end of the day, learning must support performance.

If the task were passing an exam, the badge could indeed represent the acquisition of knowledge ; but the spirit of open badges dictates that the task be performed in the real world, and hence represents the mastery of a skill. And this is meaningful to the corporate sector.

They see other members of the team wandering in and out of the ward but they don’t know what their role is. They might not even know what their own role is. They don’t want to interrupt nurses attending to patients or junior doctors catching up with paperwork at desks. I certainly support the idea of staff profiles.

Focus on performance. When conducting a needs analysis in the workplace, it’s important to focus on performance. Not training, not learning, not development… performance. Your red flag is the Performance Gap, which is the difference between what the level of performance is now, and what it should be.
