But how much of this is personal experience? Trainers and L&D professionals by their nature have some pretty strong views on what makes learning effective, based on how people learn. Or how much of it is based on theories invented by management consultants? How much is actually backed up by scientific evidence?

Management have a problem that they don’t want to or can’t solve personally. Often it has pretty depressing outcomes, but in case you get too despondent, let me assure you there is a happy ending, especially if you like flowcharts. So they give a budget to L&D.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the opportunities that being part of a bigger team presents. The AI team will also benefit from having a bigger balance sheet behind it when it comes to pitching for larger contracts, and being part of a company that has the capability to deliver a wide range of blended learning solutions.

Does the opportunity to be free of the normal bounds of their own personalities allow new opportunities for learning and personal growth in corporate environments?

To date this has been at the expense of look & feel, so the typical user experience is akin to using an accounts system…from personal experience I’d say there’s nothing much to get excited about that as a vision.

A CPD framework stops the firm from maximising short term profit by making the firm give each individual permission to take enough time on personal development. Effective CPD is all about providing the right amount of external motivation whilst nurturing internal motivation.

These 3 roles are too much for one person. Also the participants will benefit from these roles being rotated. Remove technology barriers – consider running a pre-session where you can ensure that everyone has the plug-ins that they need and can get familiar with the user interface.

If this was true, presumably we could turn up to a presentation with our headphones on and still get 55% of the message… The experiment derives these percentages by asking which channel of communication a person will believe if there is a mismatch in messages from two or more channels i.e. they are failing to give congruent messages.

I can personally relate to this from my experience of learning the violin as a child. This intuitively chimes with me from my experience as a face to face trainer and I suspect that many trainers would agree with the overall thrust of the argument (although there’s some percentages that could get quibbled over).

Scripts are particulalry pertinent to time management as when people are working under pressure they often seem to “revert to type” As a person looking in, rather than being in the thick of a situation, the answers may be obvious.

Learners are immensely time-poor (don’t take it personally if indifference is the default response to the L&D initiative that is super important to you). People rely on personal experience (great that they’re confident, but bad news if they’re unaware of something they should be complying with). Key take outs.
