Podcasts are great because we can have deep conversations with meaningful impact as we share stories that are common to so many of us. This show from us here at MMI is so important because it's critical that we reduce the stigma around debt. Debt is something that's so very common and so many of us deal with it and yet we don't talk about it, but we really should. And so on this show, that's what we do. I'm Tara Alderete, MMI Director of Enterprise Learning. We'll talk about debt and more importantly, we'll normalize it so it can help folks understand how they can overcome debt and take steps to get out of the hole that they might find themselves in. We'd love for you to join us on this journey. Find out more at https://moneymanagement.org/podcast

KEY TAKEAWAYS Tell people upfront how what they learn applies to their job.  Use proprietary internal knowhow to plug content gaps.  Have people practice what they learn. Improve 1st line management training. Understand outputs and how they are measured. If processes are not being followed by top performers, the processes are wrong. L&D needs to develop too, to set an example. BEST MOMENTS'We do too much one size fits all.' 'They can learn from each other's best practice.'

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Nellie Wartoft about utilizing social learning in your enterprise learning and development strategy. See the video here: https://youtu.be/1McHZABDvyI. Nellie Wartoft started as a young entrepreneur in her early teen years in Sweden. After winning several trophies in skeet shooting, Nellie turned her attention to educating the elderly on the internet and digital literacy to improve their qualities of life. This social enterprise was more than a passion and purpose for her - it sowed the seeds of her journey in Social Learning. At the age of 18, Nellie booked a single ticket to Singapore, to build her career and business in what she refers to as “the most buzzing and happening part of the world”. In her first foray into the corporate world at Michael Page, Nellie rose through the ranks and was the youngest executive in the company to be appointed Practice Lead and become a Top Biller at age 23. She's placed over 150 executives into Sales and Marketing roles in Fortune 500 companies within the financial, legal, consulting, technology and media sectors. It was during her time as a recruiter that she spotted a stark skills gap that she was determined to fix. She saw that there was a need to refresh the way business professionals leveled up through actionable insights from industry experts. This led to the launch of Tigerhall in March 2019, a mobile Saas platform for social learning, revolutionizing how professionals learn from one another. Nellie challenges mass education formats that fail to prepare future leaders for success in the real world. Her vision and execution are taking the corporate world by storm. Tigerhall's clients include HP, New Relic and BNY Mellon. She's raised over $10 million in funding from visionary investors such as Monk's Hill Ventures, Sequoia Capital and the XA Network. Fueled by the mission, “where you come from should never get in the way you want to go,” Nellie continues to lead Tigerhall in Fundraising, Sales and BD while scaling the team across APAC and the U.S. Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon and leaving a review wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Retaining talented team members is a critical part of any company's long-term success. At The Hershey Company, they're taking strategic steps and leveraging technology to skill their workforce for the future. Leanna Meiser, Director, Enterprise Learning & Organizational Change Management discusses how L&D leaders can shift their thinking from “learning” to “skilling” their workforce. Show Notes:Leanna Meiser discusses how companies can grow their talent pipeline by not only seeking fresh talent, but by developing the skills of existing team members.

In this enlightening and inspiring interview AstraZeneca's Head of Global Learning and Development, Brian Murphy, shares the progressive practices that have helped his company through 2020. He talks about how being a ‘full human at work' and being ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable' engenders trust, connection and productive relationships. Regarding Learning Agility, Brian describes the ‘virtual hackathons' and the company's successful, in house science based experiment designed to build good habits. He calls AstraZeneca a ‘live learning laboratory'. And then he discusses the importance of leading with empathy and vulnerability and ‘getting out of the way'. The emerging leader at AstraZeneca is encouraged to be curious, transparent, open and brave. All this and more as Brian Murphy lifts the curtain on what has enabled AstraZeneca to be one of the success stories of 2020. Brian is the Global Head of Learning & Enterprise Capabilities at AstraZeneca. He is based in Cambridge in the UK where he is tasked with leading a multi-year change programme to transform how learning happens at the company. Apart from building a new Enterprise Learning team, he is also focused on developing learning agility, a culture of life-long learning, and future skills and capabilities to support the business strategy. This work is critical for the company to deliver on its mission to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. Previously Brian was the Head of Learning and Leadership Development for CitiBank in Europe, Middle East and Africa where he led global efforts to develop a culture of workplace learning across Citi's 200,000 employees in over 100 countries.

Jeremy Walsh is the Vice President of Enterprise Learning Solutions for Wiley Education Services. Jeremy asks whether the future of work is a "war for talent", or something else entirely?

In this fascinating episode packed with thought-provoking content David is in conversation with Guy Wallace, Performance Analyst and Instructional  Architect for Enterprise, Training and Development. With more than 40 years in the field of Learning & Development, Guy Wallace knows that focusing on performance and taking the time to analyse the performance context is essential for making meaningful change. The problem is, he's been banging this drum for decades and the profession is still yet to fully switch on to this. In this episode, David and Guy explore the current state of L&D, what it's going to take for the profession to refocus and Guy's rich experience.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Our clients come to us because they think that the training will solve their problems. They really want to improve the performance impact and they see training and learning as a means to that end. A lot of content is focused on topics. We don't teach reflecting the performance orientation We don't look at the current performance state or the variables and the barriers. In Learning and Development, we give the hard work to the learner expecting them to be able to transfer the learning into their context. When you have reviewed and created a gap analysis if you can't resolve the gaps you need to teach the novice performers what the master performers already know. In a facilitated group process 8-12 subject matter experts along with supervisors, management work together to produce a performance output model and then review what's missing, what are the barriers. You need to account for what people already know and then provide self-paced content training. Teams that aren't afraid to ask the difficult questions are those that make the most difference. The more that is explored in discovery and analysis, the higher the chance of doing things that will make an impact. With technology Learning and Development can centralise job/performance aids making them easily accessible and evergreen. The question is do we understand the performance context? do we understand things as a system flow? Learning and development professionals initially learn in the classroom, learning from delivery onwards so it takes time for them to be able to have conversations around performance. A pivot is required from learning focus to performance focus   BEST MOMENTS ‘Learning and Development  will either disrupt or be disrupted' ‘The research shows that all of us operate on non-conscious knowledge – we don't even know what we know' ‘We are opportunity-rich and legacy poor'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning & Development Podcast    ABOUT THE GUEST Guy Wallace Bio Guy Wallace is a Performance Analyst and Instructional Architect and has been designing and developing Instruction/ Training/ Learning and Performance Support content for Enterprise Learning and business-critical target audiences since 1979.
