Radical Disruptions in Corporate Learning: FiringLine Video
Josh Bersin
Global Industry Analyst, I study all aspects of HR, business leadership, corporate L&D, recruiting, and HR technology. ?
A few weeks ago I sat down with Bill Kutik, the original producer of the HR Technology Conference, to discuss why corporate learning is going through such disruption. We talked about why this is now a board level issue, how video and other advanced media is changing the L&D profession, and why investors have marked ed-tech as a hot thesis for investment ($630 Million invested in Q1).
The recent acquisition of Lynda.com by LinkedIn is just one of many changes we will see as corporate learning and professional development radically changes in the years ahead.
(For more detail, please read our 2015 Human Capital Trends chapter "Learning and Development: Into the Spotlight" which discusses why L&D is now the #3 issue in business and how capability gaps in L&D are wider than ever before.)
I look forward to your comments and thoughts...

9 年It is most interesting to me that Learning is on the top of Josh's list. In particular, i liked his comment that employees were comparing company learning offerings with those that they see as a consumer off the web -- and found the company learning offerings wanting.

9 年Employees have been craving for L&D to step into the tech world that includes video and animations etc. Skillsoft just purchased Voldeclick, a Paris based video learning platform, is just another sign of this needed transformation.

Enterprise can only focus on key stages and key ring training, More should be put forward to study the request, Learning methods, tasks, Provide necessary learning opportunities, Provide exchange opportunities after learning . Each employee is common development in the exchange of learning. But, Enterprises should have phased assessment and evaluation, This is also the way to check and motivate.

9 年There are two parts to learning. One that is identified by the corporates where we work to overcome our deficiencies to the work we do or more responsibilities assigned to us for which we have some formal class-room, virtual or CBT training and brings value to both the employee (through appraisals, work performance) and the organization (more value addition which could have a direct or indirect financial impact). Now we need to note that this training is monitored and scaled for performance like tests or reviews. The other which the corporates seriously do not consider or even if they consider monitor for statistics are the employee identified online self-training or a refresher CBT training for which the employee wants complete privacy and no restrictions of time or would want to consider only few sections of the training material to read. We need to understand that in certain cases employee statistics are not needed like customer statistics for retail. Given this privacy, employee trainings will show increase by leaps and bounds.
