In my previous post I showed that an analysis of how Knowledge Workers like to learn at work suggests that L&D departments should consider working more closely with people managers to support the continuous learning and performance improvement of their people – both in teams and individually.

ABC: Keep it Simple Training

http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/blog/2013/04/09/kiss-training/ Following my earlier post: ABC: 10 reasons not to create a course – and 10 other options , I have had a huge amount of interest in finding out more about the different ABC (Anything But Courses) options I mentioned.

Assessing the ROI of training by Clive Shepherd If people really are your greatest asset, isn't it time to look at your training programmes as investments in your organisation's human capital and not just as an expense? http://www.fastrak-consulting.co.uk/tactix/Features/tngroi/tngroi.htm

http://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2013/01/email-subjects-specific-vs-vague.html What type of email subject gets your attention? This week I deleted 1226 messages from my email inbox. Viewing their subject lines, I was reminded of what typically makes me read a message: specificity--something specific in the subject.

Self-Directed Learning is not new. Studied in terms of adult education and vocation for years, self-directed learning is increasing in popularity for a variety of reasons, including growing dissatisfaction with public schooling, and the rich formal and informal learning materials available online. http://www.teachthought.com/learning/the-four-stages-of-the-self-directed-learning-model/
