Learning in the Flow of Work: From Buzz Phrase to Reality

People — their skills and their knowledge — are at the heart of today’s successful organizations. The result? People development is no longer a background corporate activity. It’s shifted to center-stage.

With corporate leadership so focused on developing organizational talent, L&D has shifted from delivering courses to helping people learn in the midst of their every-day work.

Join industry researcher, writer and organizer, Donald H. Taylor, as he explores how you can take ‘learning in the flow of work’ from a vague idea to an achievable reality. We all learn every day if given the opportunity. We’ll discuss:
  • Why learning doesn’t start and stop with training
  • How to build an ecosystem that supports workplace learning for all
  • Managers and psychological safety as the core elements of successful learning
  • The next steps for L&D practitioners

He now advises a number of EdTech start-ups, and works with Emerge Education, a European seed fund focused on start-ups in this field.
