I have been working in learning and development a long time, a really long time. I have to say, I am as passionate and excited as ever and why shouldn’t I be. This is an incredibly exciting time to be in this field. Of course I have been saying that since the beginning of Computer Based Training (CBT), Web Based Training (WBT) and then e-learning and now social media.
This time in L&D is challenging and of course the bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity. We need to do more with less, produce solutions that solve performance gaps in less time or real time with a major impact on performance but minimum impact on the employee. There are some exciting advances going on in this field, such as rapid design, mobile learning, social media and all forms of informal learning. The field is exploding with new ideas, new technology and improved methods of learning. What an exciting time.
My passions revolve around people, learning, business and innovation. I also get really energized about all the key elements of learning and development, talent management, performance management, organizational development or whatever phrase you use to describe all different solutions that improve employee performance.
Many of the topics that I will write about are the areas that I love working in such as; building the learning function, performance management, personal development, learning technologies and almost every other area of learning and development. I will also write about topics that are interesting and relevant to the field and other topics that I find interesting or that trigger a reaction.
I started this site because I believe that people should be able to succeed and excel at work and that this site is the source for that success. This site is for people who are passionate or need to be about learning. You will find world-class learning and development resources and information you can use regardless of your level of experience.
