The digital age has flipped the script on how we learn and access information. In this all-encompassing blog, we dive headfirst into the riveting conversations and experiences shared by Danielle, a trailblazing leader in education and enablement at Infor, and Nellie Wartoft, the innovative CEO of Tigerhall, a social learning platform. We'll unpack key themes such as the might of social learning, embracing technology and innovation, vanquishing resistance to change, and the magic of varied content on corporate learning.
Riding the Wave of Technology and Innovation:
Danielle recognized the potential of technology to reshape the learning landscape and was inspired by her teenage children's use of social media and online platforms for education. Companies that encourage risk-taking, foster a culture of continuous learning, and prioritize quality content can create transformative learning experiences that drive success for both employees and the organization.
The Power of Social Learning:
The growing popularity of educational content on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube has put the spotlight on social learning. Platforms like Tigerhall serve up a rich smorgasbord of content and captivating formats, making them the perfect partner for organizations looking to level up their learning and development initiatives.
Overcoming Resistance to Change:
Driving change and innovation can be an uphill battle, particularly when grappling with objections from various stakeholders. Danielle embraced a "show me, tell me, let me try" strategy to defuse concerns and involve both early adopters and detractors in the process. By providing a safe space for experimentation and addressing stakeholder concerns, companies can successfully introduce new learning methods.
The Magic of Varied Content:
Both Danielle and Nellie emphasized the importance of offering varied content to cater to different learning preferences. Companies should strive to provide a well-rounded learning experience, incorporating formats such as articles, podcasts, hands-on learning experiences, and video content.
Transforming Learning Experiences:
By joining forces with Tigerhall and embracing livestreaming, Danielle's organization catapulted its learning and development approach to new levels. The platform enabled seamless integration of both internal and external content, allowing employees to access a treasure trove of diverse content at lightning speed, thereby enriching the learning experience.
Driving Change through Audio Learning:
Audio learning can be an efficient way to disseminate information to a large workforce. Danielle's experiences implementing audio learning in her organization demonstrate the potential of this platform to revolutionize the way employees access and engage with information.
The future of learning is shaped by technology, innovation, and the willingness to embrace change. By tapping into the power of social learning, offering varied content, and overcoming resistance to change, organizations can create a more innovative and dynamic learning environment that drives success in the digital age.
