In this episode, Richard and Tony explore the topic of Learning in the Context of the Bigger Picture.

Together Richard and Tony discuss the following questions:

1. When we refer to the Bigger Picture in the context of learning, what are we actually referring to, and how important is that Bigger Picture to the success of learning?
2. When recommending a learning intervention, as learning practitioners we are keen to understand the context of the Business Strategy, why is this so important?
3. The term Strategy gets a lot of airplay in learning circles, why do you think this is the case?
4. Tactics is another term frequently used in association with Strategy, what do you think the key differences are between Strategy and Tactics in the context of Learning, and why is it important that we make a distinction between the two?
5. A Learning Strategy takes time to socialise, modify and integrate, what advice could you give our listeners to ensure they go the distance, particularly with larger learning interventions?

Together Richard and Tony discuss the following questions:

Identifying Learning Needs

1. When determining Learning Needs, where do we start?
2. What do we do when we receive a request to develop and deliver training which you believe is not steaming from a need?
3. Can we influence those making a request to better understand the true learning needs they may have?
4. How much attention should we pay to having needs clearly articulated, agreed and signed off?

Application of Learning

1. What is the first thing we need to consider when ensuring learning is applicable to the job?
2. If we are not familiar with what or how a person performs their job, how can be sure the learning we are building is applicable to them?
3. What do we do to ensure a learning program is future proof?
4. Should we consider application for all learning, what about just raising awareness of certain topics?
