Disrupting 21st Century Corporate Learning It seems that a “new world of work” is emerging in the 21st century disrupting the corporate learning paradigm. It’s turning old instructional, episodic & live training models upside down, as technology, financial, people and competitive pressures drive necessary change and introduces new possibilities for achieving 21st century corporate success, growth and sustainability. It's quite true that we are under intense time pressure as well as competition in the modern world, making it even more difficult to schedule whole groups to be away on classroom training. Further to this we are all getting more and more familiar with working online, watching YouTube videos (and continuing them later when we have time), and all having mobile devices. We have massive online learning courses (many free) appearing from very well known international universities. They also highlighted that today only 16% of Learning and Development spending is allocated to instructor delivery vs. 21% in 2011 and 33% in 2006. There is also a huge shift in content strategy, which is shifting resources away from instructor lead training towards online and on the job learning where in 2015; 32% of training was instructor led and is shrinking, 13% was virtual instructor led, 26% was online self study and is finally working, 15% on the job and 13% through collaboration which are also rapidly growing areas. Interesting to see how the tipping point is approaching quite quickly. Read more at http://ift.tt/2lY9kHi
