What will be hot in L&D in 2016?
Zoltar by Donald H Taylor

What will be hot in L&D in 2016?

Zoltar the Magnificent, fortune teller extraordinary, will - for the sum of one pound - reveal your fortune from inside his mechanical box on Brighton pier.

Each year I try to do something similar.

Each year I run a one-question, one-minute online poll asking what L&D professionals think will be hot in L&D in the following year. This doesn't necessarily reveal what will be hot, it's what I call 'sentiment analysis'. It enables us to see what people in the industry think is important - and that in itself can be revealing.

For example, video dropped from 5th position in 2014 to 8th in 2015. Was that because video was suddenly less important? I doubt it. It's much more likely that video was no longer seen as 'hot'. It has entered the main stream of L&D practice.

It takes less than a minute to look at the list and consider which three of 15 options you'll choose. If  you don't see what you like, please choose 'Other' and let me know what I've missed.

The results will first be out on 11 January 2016.

We need to define L&D and separate capability to grow investments from compliance/tick-the-box initiatives. My top 3 were Deeper Consulting (read Performance Consulting), Collaborative Learning (read KM, Social Networks) and Show Value (not the Kirkpatrick way).

For me it is not Gamification or Social Learning- it is about whether L&D can add business value outside of ROI and ROE and structure align to the business to drive real value. L&D have to be embedded into the business and not seen as a separate entity. What great business value stories will we have in 2016 where investing more in L&D is a no brainer, compared to - how do we cut, refine or streamline....
