Learning Uncut

When the pandemic hit, NSW Health needed to prepare for workforce mobilisation of health workers at the frontline of the pandemic. The workforce planners were able to collaborate across the state to do this quickly and effectively – thanks in part to the community of practice that had been built in the preceding 18 months. This is the story of why and how that community was created.

Since 2014 Donald H Taylor has run an annual one question survey to tap into the sentiment of L&D professionals around the globe. In late 2020 over 3,100 people from 95 countries answered Don's question "What will be hot in L&D in 2021." Don joins me to explore what the results might say about the demands of the pandemic on L&D, and where we are placing our attention. We weave in stories from previous Learning Uncut episodes for listeners to explore these 'hot' topics further.

In our first story from Africa, Roti Balogun speaks about an initiative he kicked off in 2016 when he was the Chief Learning Officer for GE in Africa. Inspired by a conversation he had at a World Economic Forum conference about what a partnership between industry and academia could look like, he forged a partnership with African Leadership University to help both GE and Africa to build the digital skills of engineers to prepare for the fourth industrial revolution.

Before creating a learning solution for risk management in a legal firm, Rachel Gillott formed a working group to conduct a holistic analysis to identify what would make it easier for people to adopt desired behaviours – looking beyond knowledge and skills. She also partnered effectively with their IP insurance provider to bring the outside in. Going beyond the 'one-shot' training approach too often used for risk management, this is a multi-faceted learning solution that caters to different levels of workforce experience and continues to evolve over time.

Work, Connect and Learn is a collaborative work and learning initiative that was created and delivered at Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) over five years ago and was very progressive at the time. It is an approach that is still highly relevant in 2020 as learning professionals seek to support people to connect, work and learn in a digital environment. It serves as an example of how knowledge sharing can be used to reduce the risk of dependency on a small number of experts or 'go to' people in an organisation. It also illustrates how social learning can be aligned to business strategy and goals.
