Learning Uncut

This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Disruption series. This pop-up daily series aims to equip learning professionals with practical guidance and tips to get started or scale up with practices needed as part of their organisational response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Charles Jennings and Vivian Heijnen discuss how learning can be supported in the workplace. The pressing need is for learning professionals to think, act and work closely with business stakeholders to help them solve business problems. This has always been the need – it's just more critical now. They give steps, illustrated with real examples, to use a standard methodology to uncover key organisational challenges and design with learning in the workplace as a start point. Another critical role for learning professionals is to identify learning that is happening in the workplace (aka improved processes, faster innovation cycles) and transfer that to relevant others.

One of Megan Torrance's areas of expertise is on the use of Agile work methodology for instructional design projects. The approach she has adapted is called Lot Like Agile Management Approach (LLAMA). In the spirit of the Disruption series Megan identifies a core set of steps you could start using right now to speed up your instructional design projects and still get out effective solutions. The key is to create a Minimum Viable Product, release it for testing, get feedback and then iterate – in a series of short cycles.

Mars is the third largest distributor of food in the world – both for people and pets. They employ over 100,000 associates and have in excess of 140 production sites. In 2018 they started work on a cross-discipline global initiative to streamline systems process and roles for traceability of products and materials across the supply chain at Mars – from farm to fork. Rachel Horwtiz led the work across 11 separate colleges at Mars University to collaborate on the learning solution. Not only did she need to unite the learning teams across a federated model, she also needed to guide them and their stakeholders to work in new ways in an agile project environment. Trish Uhl was engaged to bring her expertise across a range of disciplines including IT business readiness, performance and learning to create an integrated strategy for learning, change management and communications. She introduced learning engineering to this program. We explore what learning engineering is, why it was so well-suited to this initiative, and dig into how human-centred design and data analytics were used in parallel on this project.

Julian Davis of Queensland Rail and Naomi Waldron from Easy A discuss Queensland Rail's onboarding and compliance refresher program - fittingly called All Aboard. This program was winner of best onboarding and induction program in the Australian Institute of Training and Development 2019 Excellence Awards. This program moved onboarding from a cumbersome paper-based three-month long process to a highly engaging digital learning experience that new staff complete on their first day. With the inclusion of compliance refresher modules, it touches all 7,000 staff and has significant impact in a short period of time. It's also a really fit for purpose learning solution. Not only did it meet the technical and design requirements of the project, but significant effort went into making it a strong cultural fit.
