#234: Today's "Pop-Up" Course Is On "Managing Learning in Times of Change"

Introduction

In today's "People Skills" newsletter, we're sharing with you one of our "pop-up" course presentations from our MTL Slide Collections.

The "pop-up" course presentations are ideal if you are looking for a short, standalone interactive feature, either for yourself or to deliver to people on courses, workshops, or team meetings.

They can be delivered to any size group in anything from 15 to 45 minutes depending on your needs.

This means you can use them to talk an audience through a key skill topic as well as getting your audience to discuss key questions on the topic.

At Manage Train Learn, we call these presentations "pop-up" courses as they are ready-made and can be delivered by anyone at literally no notice.

Today's "pop-up" course is on "Managing Learning in Times of Change". And here it is...

01. Intro to "Managing Learning in Times of Change"

Learning is the point of contact between ourselves and change. By learning, we put ourselves in the right frame of mind to change. And, as a result of seizing all the opportunities to learn new skills, we add value to what we can offer others...

02. Be a Continuous Learner

We used to think that learning was something that stopped when you left school or further education. The skills you'd learnt would equip you for life. But in a time of rapid change, this no longer holds true...

03. Question 01

Brainstorm the main things you’ve learned in the past year. Compare your list with others.

04. Build a Learning Organisation

If you are a manager or leader, you need to put learning at the heart of how your organisation grows. It means giving people the necessary skills they need to perform and the personal skills needed to learn...

05. Question 02

Think about a recent occasion when you learnt something from someone else at work and an occasion when you helped someone else learn.

06. On-the-Job Learning

In the old days of slow and gradual change, people learnt how to do a job when they started and that was enough...

07. Question 03

List 3 things you’ve learnt recently as a result of doing your job. Include new knowledge, skills, and new attitudes.

08. Out-of-the-Job Learning

In today's Information Age, we live in a golden age of learning. Never before have we had access to as much information as today through video, DVD, TV, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet...

09. Question 04

What have you learnt of interest recently that has changed the way you do your job, see yourself, or see others?

10. All Ways Learning

In switched-on learning organisations, learning isn't just the responsibility of those who train. It's something that everyone can do to everyone else...

11. Question 05

Jot down 3 things you’d like to learn over the next few weeks. How do you feel about learning something new and changing what you’ve done up to now?

12. Anarchic Learning

Anarchic learning is learning that can take place anytime, anywhere, anyhow. In anarchic learning, learning doesn't have to be in the traditional manner from those who know to those who don't...

13. Question 06

What is the difference between learning new information (ie facts), learning new skills (ie how to do something), and learning about yourself?

14. Learning from Mistakes

The clever organisations know that some of the greatest learning happens when we make mistakes. But only if, instead of blaming and shaming people, the organisation sees mistakes as learning opportunities.

15. Question 07

Think about an occasion when you learnt from something going wrong. What happened? What did you learn?

16. A Final Word

Charles Handy said, "Those who are always learning are those who can ride the waves of change. They are the enthusiasts of the new ways, forms, and ideas. If you want to be in control of your change, learn."

What Next?

At MTL, we are committed to microlearning in all its forms.

That's why we like to promote videos that are single topic, short and to the point, and practical enough to be applied easily.

The same goes for our "pop-up presentations" which deliver concise information while getting audiences to share their own experiences and even practise new skills.

If you are able to put people through a short "pop-up" presentation at least once a week or more, then you will quickly notice a transformation in how well your teams learn and perform.

Well done and good luck!
