CONTENT CURATION FOR LEARNING

FOREWORD:
FROM JANE HART
These are challenging times for business. 72% of CEOs believe the next
three years will be more critical for their industry than the last 50.
What does this mean for learning? If learning is going to keep pace with that
change, my view is that we need a rethink. Traditional learning has focused on
provision of static formal courses and training. They don’t reflect how most people
actually learn, and they lag behind emerging trends. If Uber, AirBnB and
other disruptive innovations tell us anything, it’s that if we don’t keep pace with
change, our skills will become obsolete, along with our companies.
There is a better way. Instead of providing fixed courses, we can help people
to learn continuously. That means supporting a culture which looks externally
for insights. That means finding, filtering, and sharing the most recent, most
relevant content that will give our teams a competitive advantage. That means a
mindshift from creation of formal learning to curation for continuous learning.
I’ve spent 25 years championing the move towards modern workplace learning.
In this guide, Anders Pink set out practical ways to make that a reality with continuous
and curated learning that’s embedded in the workflow and keeps pace
with change.
Learning Professionals can reinvent themselves and become more relevant
than ever in these turbulent times. They can become the heroes of continuous,
curated learning and help their organisations stay agile. I hope you’ll take on the
practical tips in this book for doing just that.
