Best practices for experiential learning programs are evolving. How can you initiate, or improve upon, this proven method?

This session will address:

  • What is experiential learning?
  • When to employ it … and when not to:
    • Participants are proficient in their own area but need better context, execution experience
    • Cost of employee error is high (participants can’t ‘experiment’ on the job)
    • Colleagues need to get to know each other (global, siloed, departmentalized)
    • When to employ it
      • Experiential learning generally takes time and is not optimal for simply teaching  a single technical subject (how to do lease accounting, how to prevent computer hacking
  • Five key items to ensure its success
    1. Know your participants (demographics, experiences, CTQs)
    2. Ensure the experience engages on multiple levels (technical, leadership, sharing corporate culture,  social)
    3. Use in-house subject-matter experts liberally, and wisely
    4. Create multiple opportunities for feedback among teams and between teams and facilitators
    5. Do rigorous, disciplined post-event analysis (engaging participants, their managers, SMEs, corporate leadership, and other relevant parties)
