Approaching perfection

E-Learning Provocateur

I’ve never understood the rationale of the 80% pass mark. Which 20% of our work are we prepared to do wrongly? It might explain the universally poor state of CX that companies are evidently willing to wear, but it’s arguably more serious when we consider the acronym-laden topics that are typically rolled out via e-learning, such as OHS and CTF.

6 Keys to Build a Culture of Collaboration

Building a Culture of Collaboration. As the way of doing business has shifted – meeting fatigue has morphed into Zoom fatigue. When that started happening, as L&D is prone to do – we started throwing tools at the problem, creating a whole new type of fatigue – I’ll call it “activity fatigue” We mean well – but throwing all manner of collaboration tools into every Zoom meeting creates a whole new level of mental fatigue.

Not our job

E-Learning Provocateur

Despite the prevailing rhetoric for the Learning & Development function to be “data driven”, data for the purposes of evaluating what we do is notoriously hard to come by. Typically we collect feedback from happy sheets (which I prefer to call unhappy sheets ) and confirm learning outcomes via some form of assessment. In my experience, however, behavioural change is reported much less often, while anything to do with business metrics even less so.

E-Learning Provocateur

From the fake-it-til-you-make-it mindset of consultants to the face-saving responses of executives , we puny humans are psychologically conditioned to have all the answers – or at least be seen to. Of course, demanding all the answers is the premise of summative assessment, especially when it’s in the form of the much maligned multiple-choice quiz.
