The Olympics and Learning – A Fierce Combination. With the games already under way and the Opening Ceremony beginning tonight. It seems appropriate that we compare the games to our industry. In the Learning and Development market, as in most, there are incredible similarities and strange happenstance where the lines seemingly cross without much of a thought.

It’s day 23 of our 30 Day Brainstorm Challenge – The Human Family. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that Apple is airing their new commercial, “The Human Family” during the Olympic opening ceremonies in Rio. It makes me remember that as humans we are all in this life together. As L&D professionals, we are all in this occupation together.

Learning and development managers would vouch for the fact that attitudinal trainings are amongst their key training areas. Attitudes can either facilitate or hinder constructive thinking and actions. Workplace attitudinal training (such as promoting safe and ethical behavior, resolving conflicts, imparting organization’s culture, or getting a buy-in for the management's change agenda) helps employees develop a right attitude.

Close your eyes and think about your favorite shirt or dress. What colors do you see? Close your eyes again and picture your training room or elearning template. What colors are you using? How are you using them? Do you intentionally choose some colors over others because of their effect on the brain, or is the decision made by default to match the other rooms in the office, or the colors in the corporate logo?

We’re guilty. Like the vast majority of B2B software companies we’ve used stock photography across all of our marketing, communication and social channels for years. We’ve spent hours pouring over Pexels and Veer for “the right” photo only to see it being used all over the Web. The post #INDIETECH: Stock Photography Must Die appeared first on Wisetail.

Designing your course to be accessible to individuals with auditory disabilities is both challenging and worthwhile. The versatility offered by eLearning is a powerful alternative for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, as these individuals may not have much success in a traditional classroom environment. Everyone deserves equal access to knowledge, and failing to provide it is a surefire way to alienate eager learners.

If you don’t think your organization is creative enough to implement design thinking, think again. Design thinking isn’t about how good you are at design tools such as Photoshop, but rather it’s about using human elements when figuring out how to create products that address the real needs of people. Using the design thinking process, everyone is a designer and design is everywhere – the way you plan out your day, the way you arrange furniture in your room, the way you match clothes.

Machiavelli once wrote that when it comes to leadership, it is “better to be feared than loved” No doubt many would disagree, but the difference of opinion only shows that leadership can be a complex issue. Do you serve the people you lead, or do they serve you? Do you lead by words or by deeds? Do you show others that you’re no different from them, or do you make a point of proving to everyone just how exceptional you are?

Netflix viewers spend 60 seconds – 90 seconds for those strong-willed enough to keep scrolling – searching for a movie or television show to watch before giving up and moving on to something else. Just one minute, that’s all the time people give to searching for entertainment. Now think about how long people would search for information and answers at work so they could do their jobs.

If you’re rolling out an international training programme, or perhaps even working with a vendor based in another country, then you could run the risk of facing technical issues…. We think of the internet as offering us instantaneous communication, but unfortunately we’re still constrained by those pesky laws of physics. An optical fibre cable will carry signals at roughly 60-70% of the speed of light.
