Comment on Will L&D take this once in a generation opportunity? by James McLuckie

Well, perhaps this survey and the opinions of the likes of Donald will act as a bit of a wake-up call to some in the L&D profession.

I actually agree with Donald in that L&D is often looking for the next big thing or, worse, a “quick fix”, when a more traditional approach is frequently what is needed.

For example, Peter, you made the point that learning managers need to instigate the right conversations with the decision-makers. And, yes, I think this is important. But the real challenge will be to take those conversations and turn them into something tangible and effective, e.g. a robust and informed analysis exercise.

Donald, I agree with issues, but I’m hoping the reality of the recession, tighter budgets and the need for change will drive things in the right direction and make both sides realise that it doesn’t have to be this way. If the CIPD is not the right voice for the industry who is or what needs to be done to create the leadership the profession needs, because I agree it must be much more grounded in evidence and focussed on performance outcomes.

I’m not so optimistic Peter. L&D seems locked into a cycle of faddish, new-age thinking, poor quality courses, expensive non-scalable delivery methods, a deliberate avoidance of ‘evidence-based’ practice and irrelevant evaluation. It has no real ‘voice’ as the CIPD has turned into a corrupt, money making machine, serving its managers and not its members.

Peter,
This is Josh Little with Bloomfire. Thank you for calling out Bloomfire as your favourite new platform. A small percentage of the market IS ready for it. In fact, many of our current customers were trying to build a solution in house when they came across Bloomfire. We just try to make it easy for someone to launch a learning community. We’ve been very pleased with the success of the platform so far and anticipate a strong future.

Hi Paul, thanks to the link to Cameo, reinforcement and time to think and reflect are so important and if the Cameo tool can act as a reminder that engages people that that must be a good thing.

Very informative guys, really enjoyed your conversation.

I picked up on Jay’s point about reinforcement and it fitted in with what I’ve been researching of late. Today I had a virtual meeting with Brian Collins from http://www.cameo.net and came away thinking, yep, that’s a game changer! This is a great tool that is long overdue in training departments! Cameo is a web based tool that delivers scenario based learning reinforcement via email. Rather than try and explain it all here I’d recommend starting with this link http://www.cameo.net/what-is-cameo.htm.

I’m off to read Peter’s research now, thanks for sharing by the way.
Until next time, Adios!
