Entrepreneur, eLearning Pioneer and Udemy Vice-President, Leadership Development Alan Todd shares his reflections on the past, present and future of making learning a competitive advantage.
 

Show Notes:
Here are some of Alan Todd's key takeways.

  • Research shows that the number one reason people leave a job is because of their frontline supervisor so the need for good manager training not only supports the manager, but it can also have a positive impact on many team members.
  • Beyond quantitative measurements, define and evaluate qualitative measurements to show the impact of learning on organizational performance 
  • Non-intrusive data mining with the assistance of tools like Chat GPT can help provide data to evaluate learning.
  • If learning is greater than change, you are an innovator and you win in the marketplace. If learning is less than the rate of change, then we're climbing someone else's learning curve and we're lagging behind. 
  • At least a third of the learning outcomes are explained by what happens before the learning experience we create, and then another third by what happens after the structured experience so pay more attention to those befores and afters. 
  • Connecting people to content can be lonely and isolating, but when you connect people to people, it's human. When you bring a human component to e-learning, it becomes more engaging, more natural, more accountable.
