According to Josh Bersin, 2010 will bring dramatic changes to corporate learning. The biggest trends to consider as you make learning resolutions are:
Formalize informal learning. Incorporate elements of social learning, embedded learning, on-demand learning, coaching and performance support in new training programs. This means changes such as revamping the instructional process, the need to re-evaluate the role of off-the-shelf content.
Enbrace social learning. Employees often learn best from peers and credible subject-matter experts and powerful learning can transpire when people collaborate. Communities of practice, wikis, blogs, discussion groups and expert directories are some ways to help employees solve problems faster while bringing about more efficient learning.
Focus on specialization. Focus on core competencies.
Recognize this is a period for technology transition.Changes in program design, learning delivery and implementation require highly flexible learning platforms.Traditional LMS, LCMS and learning portals are being revolutionized. Additionally, most companies also want to integrate their learning technology platforms with talent management solutions.
Do less with less – and then do more. Over the past year, most L&D organizations have been downsized, forcing them to do less with less and it seems productivity has in fact gone up. If economic recovery continues, budgets will gradually begin to grow. Nearly 70 percent of all the companies surveyed in 2009 said that they were reorganizing their L&D teams for efficiency. When budgets do grow, these new structures can be used to deliver more efficient programs.
