“I have no time for learning and training.”, “Must I attend this training?”

We hear the complaints of learners.
But what are we doing about it?

Many studies and experts tell us that training and learning must focus on improving performance.

However, performance improvement has always been a nebulous or difficult goal to achieve through training and learning programs.

Bersin by Deloitte has released a recent study showing that training programs rank the lowest in the list that learners use to obtain knowledge to improve work.

The highest source of knowledge is from connections within the organization.

Skipping learning and accelerating expertise is the new “buzz”of new platforms, solutions and learning thought leaders.

However, most solutions are stuck with “learning content and its tools and mindsets” and not on accelerating expertise.

In this session, Ray will discuss the following :

• What is significantly different about focusing on performance or expertise?
• What are the different types of expertise researches that have been found to work in rapidly changing organizations?
• What compelling transformation must content undergo?
• How do you help learners think and build expertise and not just learning?
• How do expertise development tools such as framing, channeling, sensing, problem-solving and others accelerate expertise?
• How do trainer, designer and coach skills get overhauled to become expertise accelerators?

Presenter : Ray Jimenez (LinkedIn profile) – Chief Learning Architect & Founder of Vignettes Learning and StoryImpacts.com, a systems development and consulting company specializing in e-Learning and Performance Systems, eLearning course development and interactive tools and social learning community platform. Ray has over twenty years experience in the consulting and training industry and teaches eLearning programs for the University of California, Irvine, University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center and Assumption University, Bangkok.

By far the most requested topic from clients and people performing business analysis is “What are the right questions to ask?”

Asking questions is at the core of performing business analysis and the “correct” answer to this question is as varied as the projects analysts are involved with and the techniques they utilize.

Discussions will include factors that will impact the types of questions required and techniques to help drive the right questions.
