Decisions, decisions. Business decisions.
Jay Cross examines decision making on learning at work, and gives the lie to some myths about the use of business metrics. An executive, a manager, a training director, and a worker each have different but valid ways of evaluating the effectiveness of learning. Training directors see learners; everyone else sees workers or employees.) MAKING BUSINESS DECISIONS: THE HEART AND THE HEAD To “earn a seat at the table” where the business managers sit, you must:

Driven by demand
Human Capital Institute is hosting a webinar by Dave Wilkins and Jay Cross entitled Put “Learning Demand” in the Drivers Seat . Organizations that focus on the supply side of the training they provide are looking at the wrong side of the equation. By focusing on the demand side (what learners need) they can facilitate the biggest part of the learning experience-informal learning. While informal learning is spontaneous it is not as informal as it may initially appear.

A framework for social learning in the enterprise
Cross-posted at InternetTimeAlliance.com Jay Cross Individual training, the core of corporate learning and development, is based on the premise that jobs are constant and those who fill them are interchangeable.

  • Follow the Leaders: Sharing Jay Cross' Collected Wisdom
    The recent Online Educa International Conference on Technology Supported Learning and Training featured a stream of fascinating workshops in and around informal learning that was organized and facilitated by Jay Cross (author of Informal Learning: Rediscovering the Natural Pathways That Inspire Innovation and Performance .) I attended a number of the workshops in this stream, that started with a session called "The Great Training Robbery" and included others such as "The New Era of Corporate Learning Unconference" and a Pecha Kucha Mini-Master Class (my first exposure

  • The future of the training department
    by Harold Jarche and Jay Cross Prior to the 20th Century, training per se did not exist outside the special needs of the church and the military. Now the training department may be at the end of its life cycle. Join us for a brief look back at the pre-training world and some thoughts about what may lay ahead. Before the advent of the industrial age, work was local and industry meant cottage industry. People had vocations, not jobs.

  • Dust-up at Training Zone
    Some readers of an interview with me that appeared in today’s issue of Training Zone has generated a dozen critical comments and even some name-calling. Jay Cross, the man who coined the term ‘elearning’, believes the web is revolutionising the way we learn. Cross believes the era of traditional course-led training is coming to an end and that informal, social learning is the way forward. First, the interview. Then, the comments.

    Pfeiffer has just published a book entitled Training form the BACK of the Room! Sharon Bowman writes about how trainers need to think about learning, plan learning experiences, and deliver the goods in a class or training. Roger Schank has a four-word explanation of what’s wrong with training: “It’s just like school.” 65 Ways to Step Aside and Let Them Learn , by Sharon L. Bowman.

  • Group-centric work and training
    Individual Training In the military there is a whole system that governs individual training, in our case it was CFITES. Much time and effort goes into training a soldier and in peacetime there’s not much other than training to do anyway. If in doubt – train. In the +20 years I spent in the military, much of it was as a student on course. CFITES comprises several volumes of instructions, including all of the ADDIE steps.

  • Close the Training Department
    Now, what if you could incorporate social media practices like blogging and chat and incorporate social media feeds and video directly into the training courses? think that social media can be powerful tools for collaboration, working and learning, but they are rather useless inside a training box. Sticking blogs, RSS, chats and widgets into your training delivery system has little to do with my advice to the training I get a lot of unsolicited e-mail asking me to review a new product or service, a small portion that actually gets my attention.

  • The Future Business of Learning for Suppliers
    Jay Cross posted a comment under Tony’s article pointing out that a number of us in the TogetherLearn team have been discussing this issue and that we agree that ‘learning’ may have outlived its usefulness as a term. I don’t know what the ‘learning industry’ will be called in the future, but its focus will certainly be a lot wider than what is generally seen in today’s world as ‘learning and development’, let alone ‘training'. With this in mind we need to focus on new ways of learning to support our organisations’ new ways of working. This is where the data Tony
