Gary Wise’s Summary
Training does exactly what it has always done, and we continue to get what we always got - knowledge and skills. Too bad that effective transfer of knowledge and skills does not accurately predict sustainable performance. Too bad that traditional model is what many companies still depend upon to build the capabilities of their workforce – and then wonder why performance outcomes fall short. It’s beyond time to re-invent our approach of "training our way to competency" because the velocity of business has left our long-held traditions in the dust.
Work is continuous. Why would we settle for anything less in our ability to render effective, relevant learning opportunities to our workforce?
The call-to-action is clear - aggressive creation of continuous learning environments where learning moments of need are confronted in the work context and satisfied at the speed of business.
Being "ready" to pursue this noble re-invention does not translate to "readiness" to sustain a continuous learning environment. Which state describes your organization?
Engage someone who has mapped the roadmap to continuous learning. Avoid the lure of bright, shiny technology solutions until readiness has been reached. Build a scalable solution because when it works - it grows - with the business it sustains.
Consider a Learning Readiness Assessment (LRA) designed to identify “readiness gaps” that limit an organization’s ability to integrate and sustain a continuous learning environment.
It's time to climb out of tradition - It's time to contact an outfitter!
