When we create learning solutions, what we really want is to create a new behavior or change behavior in some way. So, what does it take to create a new behavior? On this episode of Learning for Good, I'm sharing lessons from behavior change experts Charles Duhigg, James Clear, and BJ Fogg. Then, I'm going to take those behavior change lessons and translate them into workplace learning.▶️ Using Learning to Create Behavior Change | Lessons from the Experts ▶️ Key Points:00:58 The challenges of creating a new behavior02:59 Behavior change lessons from Charles Duhigg, James Clear, and BJ Fogg06:07 Applying behavior change principles to workplace learningResources from this episode:The Power of Habit by Charles DuhiggAtomic Habits by James ClearTiny Habits by BJ FoggJoin the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveWas this episode helpful?

In this podcast episode, Christopher Lind, a leader at the intersection of business, technology, and people, shares his unconventional career journey from software development to corporate learning. He challenges traditional learning models and explores how technology is reshaping professional development. As a father of eight, he also reflects on balancing personal and professional growth. Through his insights, Lind highlights the evolving role of innovation in workplace learning and leadership.

In today's business world, uncertainty is no longer the exception—it's the rule. The speed of technological advancements, shifting workforce dynamics, and ever-changing market conditions demand that organizations become more agile than ever before. But here's the challenge: Traditional workplace learning simply can't keep up. The way companies have trained employees for decades—through structured courses, one-size-fits-all programs, and annual training sessions—no longer matches the pace of real-world change. That's where AI-augmented learning comes in. In this episode, Dr. Bray dives deep into new research from MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group, which reveals that companies integrating AI into their learning processes—what the study calls Augmented Learners—are significantly better at navigating disruption. These organizations are 1.6 times more prepared to handle workforce, technological, and market shifts compared to companies that still rely on traditional learning models. But what does that mean in practice? It means companies that harness AI for learning can identify skill gaps before they become problems, provide employees with real-time knowledge on demand, and create adaptable teams that thrive in uncertainty. Imagine a workplace where learning happens in the moment—not after the fact. Instead of waiting for a scheduled training session, employees can access AI-driven coaching tailored to their roles, helping them solve challenges in real time. AI can analyze market trends and predict which skills will be needed in the future, giving companies a strategic advantage in workforce development. Even better, AI-powered tools ensure that when employees leave, their institutional knowledge doesn't walk out the door with them. In an era of high turnover and talent shortages, this capability is a game-changer for HR, leadership development, and long-term business strategy. This shift isn't just theoretical. Companies like Estée Lauder are already using AI to track real-time consumer trends, allowing them to pivot their strategies instantly and maintain a competitive edge. Leaders in change management and HR are leveraging AI to personalize learning pathways for employees, making professional development more effective and engaging. For executives and strategists, AI is breaking down knowledge silos and enabling better decision-making through smarter insights. The bottom line? AI-driven learning isn't just a nice-to-have—it's quickly becoming the deciding factor between companies that thrive and those that fall behind. If you're in HR, business strategy, innovation, or change management, this episode is a must-listen. AI is no longer just about automation—it's about enhancing human learning and decision-making at every level. Tune in now to discover how AI-powered learning is shaping the future of work—and what your organization needs to do to stay ahead. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The ability to learn faster and smarter, both as an individual and as an organization, is what separates businesses that thrive from those that struggle." "Speed equals survival.” "Adaptability and continuous learning are the new currency of success in a rapidly evolving world."

One-off learning interventions are frequently the ‘go to' solution for workplace learning teams, but we know that spaced repetition and retrieval practice are more effective. How do we get past organizational constraints that make this difficult? In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Tony Manwani from People Unboxed joins Ross Dickie and Ross Garner to discuss: ·       The problems with one-off interventions ·       Science-backed principles to make an impact ·       How Tony's ‘BentoBot' tool puts those principles into practice.

Congrats on making it through another week. Is it just me, or does that feel like an accomplishment by itself? To celebrate, I've got another round of updates on what's been happening at the intersection of business, technology, and human experience. As always, thanks to everyone who has contributed to the running list. And with that, here we go! End of Remote Work? - Opening this week's on a spicy note. This one continues to leave me shaking my head. Despite the overwhelming data, many executive leaders seem set on forcing their employees into their familiar box. Check out why this one in particular gets me feisty. GenZ & Millenial Loyalty - There's a rise in commentary discussing the dwindling loyalty of GenZ and Millenial employees, but they conveniently fail to tell the whole story. While it drives clicks and soothes execs struggling with dismal retention, I'd encourage people to considering the bigger picture. AI vs. The Law - While tragic, it's not completely surprising to see an exponential rise in teens abusing AI to bully their peers. Kids do stupid stuff and often fail to consider the implications. Unfortunately, the lack of legal accountability seems to only be making matters worse. AI Resurrection - If you could bring back a dead loved one with AI, would you do it? It may sound like science fiction, but there's a growing number of people who are going for it. I've got all sorts of mixed feelings here. LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report - When the largest professional social platform in the world reports its findings on what's happening, it's worth paying attention. This week, LinkedIn reported its latest findings on what's happening in employee skill development, and it has implications for business leaders, learning professionals, and employees alike.

Today we've got a great conversation for you: Morgan Mercer is the CEO of Vantage Point, a VR product that's being used by big companies like Ikea and Hyundai to teach soft skills and also to offer Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as well as Sexual Harassment training. It turns out, Morgan's major insight is that VR is an unprecedented tool for “walking a mile in someone else's shoes”, which means that it's an ingenious way to teach empathy. She's been featured in over 150 major publications and Vantage Point's tagline “While technology can cause apathy, immersive technology can drive empathy and fundamentally make the world more human” is something I deeply resonate with. ➡️ https://www.tryvantagepoint.com/ ➡️ Highlights: https://rosspalmer.com/morgan-mercer ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer ➡️ Subscribe on YouTube: @therosspalmer

In this episode, Robin is joined by Lars Hyland and Matt Linaker from Totara to discuss rethinking workplace learning in an AI-Driven World. The conversation focuses on the importance of shifting from content-driven strategies to more context-based and collaborative learning environments. About  Lars HylandLars Hyland is a seasoned expert in learning technology with over 27 years of experience. He has worked with various international organisations and educational institutions, including the University of Oxford and Deutsche Bank. Currently, he leads Totara's EMEA operations, focusing on talent development and productivity. About  Matt LinakerMatt has a multifaceted career in the field of learning and education, with a focus on technology-enhanced learning.  He is currently the Partner Onboarding and Enablement Lead at Totara Learning.Key takeaways:AI tools have gone mainstream. It is impacting creative arts and we can see how it has helped improve the way we work. There is potential for governments and organisations to have their own large learning models and AI to enhance learning while working.Content-driven models in the workplace have caused a disconnect between business goals and training outcomes. New technologies can assist in connecting people to the right people at the right time, and automated feedback can aid development.Easy access to the right content to the right people can help contextualise the learning process, and conversations and collaboration can help people come together quickly to solve problems and meet goals. Providing feedback and rewarding people in an intentional way, contextualised to the situation, can help motivate them to learn and to apply their knowledge effectively. Segmented time stamps:(00:00) One of keys to the future of AI is open source  (01:35) What does the future of work look like?(04:59) How AI has gone mainstream(10:13) Moving away from content-driven approaches (15:32) L&D in Totara(19:19) Building learning platforms for talent experience(24:04) How can we make this future of learning happen now? Links from the podcast Connect with Lars on LinkedInConnect with Matt on LinkedinTotara's WebsiteRead more about Matt's thoughts on Rethinking workplace learning in an AI-Driven World

The way we think about learning in the workplace is undergoing a major shift: Organizations are becoming facilitators and validators of content, rather than owners and controllers. Across industries, technology is driving this trend toward socially co-created knowledge and learning that is more collaborative and iterative than in the past.  Julian Stodd, a researcher, consultant, and founder of Sea Salt Learning, joins host Marc Ramos to explore this evolution and what's on the horizon for organizational learning. They also discuss how companies are better positioned than ever to connect learning models with what their employees need and desire.   Learning is a key element in future-proofing any workplace. Our AI-driven Content Studio uses employee data to match workers with relevant mentors, skills, and learning material they need to take the next step in their career journey. It's a great way for companies to acknowledge and validate their employees' goals, and connect them with the right tools for the future.

L&D professionals are lifelong learners who inherently understand the importance of ongoing skill development. But do they prioritize building their own skillset to keep up with the rapid changes in the workplace? Unfortunately, the biggest irony in workplace learning is how little professional development the learning and development people tend to do. JD Dillon is joined by John Hinchliffe, Head of Engagement at Jam Pan and Founder of the Global Learning and Development Community (GLDC). They debate the essential skills L&D pros need to be successful in today's workplace as well as best practices for continuous development during a rousing game of Agree to Disagree.Watch the full video of this episode on the Axonify YouTube channel.In The Know is brought to you by Axonify, the mobile-first training and communication solution that helps make sure your frontline workforce is ready for anything.

“I believe SMEs are the key to upskilling and rescaling in your organization. And I believe that if their knowledge is not leveraged, then you are missing an incredibly important opportunity to gather tacit knowledge,” explains Michele Medved, senior instructional designer and corporate learning professional with over 20 years of experience. Michele is the author of The Guide to Working with Subject Matter Experts and she has worked across various industries helping to extract and utilize the knowledge of SMEs to create learning deliverables. She joins Mike Horne in conversation to talk about the importance of gathering the tacit knowledge that all subject matter experts have and how to use that knowledge to give novice employees the information they need to become proficient at their jobs.    When their knowledge and experience is put to good use, subject matter experts can be the key to rescaling and upskilling an organization. Since most of the knowledge of an SME is under the surface and not necessarily documented, it is crucial to know how to ask the right questions to extract that knowledge. Michele uses the acronym FRED which means focused, relevant, engaging, and deep so that she can get the most content rich information out of SMEs when she is speaking with them. Then, she uses that tacit knowledge to create learning tools like simulations, presentations, guidebooks, infographics, and more in order to make that knowledge easily accessible within the organization. When SMEs are properly utilized, their knowledge is able to stay within an organization and help novice employees grow into professionals.    Tune into this week's episode of the Authentic Change Podcast to learn more about how to fully tap into the expertise and knowledge of subject matter experts within an organization and why this knowledge is important for the success of a business.   Quotes: “A subject matter expert is a person who has expertise and experience in a specific area.” (3:16-3:23 | Michele) “We need to leverage that knowledge of the SMEs before it walks out the organization and before it gets lost.” (6:25-6:32 | Michele) “Going back to the SMEs, I believe they are the key to upskilling and rescaling in your organization. And I believe that if their knowledge is not leveraged, then you are missing an incredibly important opportunity to gather that tacit knowledge, that knowledge that if you look at that iceberg is under the water.” (8:56-9:16 | Michele) “Part of our responsibility is to assess how to best present information in terms of the needs of the audience, in terms of the timelines, and really, at the end of the day, it's about getting them to change behavior. And what's the best way that we can do that?” (20:48-21:07 | Michele) “It's really about taking people from a novice to being proficient. And in the olden days, it was pretty easy to do that. You would work alongside somebody, and you would teach them and you would show them how to do it. But with the change and with industrialization, that's just no longer possible.” (23:37-23:56 | Michele) Links:   Mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Find more about Leading People and Culture with Authenticity   Learn more about Michele B.

Mike dives into a recent report published by Udemy, the global learning platform, on the trends they're seeing around usage of skills training programs on their platform. The report provided by Udemy Business is designed for learning leaders, strategic HR professionals, and individuals looking for perspective on which skills are most critical to pursue and how organizations and individuals can get strategic about designing career paths and retention strategies leveraging learning as a benefit. We also reference reports from McKinsey along with an HBR article on email management in case you want to dive deeper. We begin with a deep dive into power skills as a better name for what has traditionally been called soft skills. We learn which power skills are surging on the platform and how these trends relate to the Great Resignation and related trends around personal development, leadership, and communication. Power skills form the foundation of effective cultures and learning organizations. Once understood, other emerging competencies can be layered into organizations and individuals to better prepare for a rapidly changing world of work. Then we get into the digital marketing, product management, project management, finance/accounting, and UX/UI skills that are popping based on usage on Udemy's platform. We conclude with an exploration of the more technical skills in cloud computing, cybersecurity, data science, and software development in a broad survey of recent trends in skill development. It's a thought provoking exploration of strategic skill development and the future of work that you won't want to miss. Subscribe to Trending in Education wherever you get your podcasts.

The aim of this series is to highlight the important shift that some L&D leaders and practitioners have made in order to more predictably and reliably affect individual and organizational performance, achieving much more as a consequence.   Dr. Villachica has consulted and worked in business, government, and non-profit settings for more than 25 years. He joined the faculty of the Department of Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning in the College of Engineering at Boise State University in 2007.   Prior to joining Boise State, Steve collaborated with colleagues and clients at DLS Group, Inc., to create large-scale performance support systems, e-learning, instructor-led training, job aids, and a host of award-winning performance improvement solutions for pharmaceutical companies, law enforcement agencies, securities companies and regulators, the Intelligence Community, and others. At Boise State, Steve teaches courses in instructional design, needs assessment, and workplace performance improvement.    Dr. Villachica's research interests focus on identifying and leveraging exemplary performance throughout organizations. His current research efforts investigate aspects of student readiness for the workplace.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Enabling people to perform in ways that contribute to achieving strategic business objectives, is not only about training. You also need to identify what is getting in their way and remove it. Often, organizational stakeholders come to L&D with ill-informed requests for training. Be systematic and look at things systemically. Determine whether the gap is worth closing. Does it really contribute to achieving business objectives and is it worth the time and $ cost? Gather organizational intelligence – find out what is keeping your clients up at night. Don´t try to educate people. Instead, address their pain points Each project needs adequate sponsorship. Someone who has skin in the game. Interacting causes produce the performance gap. In the podcast, Steve explains how to identify the many, overlapping underlying causes, behind each issue. From day one of any project, implementation needs to be a part of the process. Align your efforts with strategic business objectives and keep re-aligning them as things change. It is possible to launch effective projects using remotely hosted meetings. In the podcast, Steve shares the approach he and his team have found to be effective. BEST MOMENTS 'If you want to address resistance, address people´s pain point, don´t try to educate them. ' 'Ask what do you want people to be doing in the workplace that they´re not doing now?' 'Know the difference between what an organization says about itself and what it actually does. ' 'The first step is to get in there and do the organizational intelligence work. Find out what the lay of the land is.
