Sketchnotes from the launch of GoodPractice's 'The Evolution of 70:20:10'

Rachel Burnham writes: Last week I participated in the launch event for GoodPractice’s new piece of research.  This has become a highly anticipated annual event, when their latest research into the L&D world is shared with fellow L&D practitioners.  This year the research focused on how L&D professionals understand and are using the 70:20:10 model.   The report is titled ‘The Evolution of 70:20:10 and can be downloaded from the GoodPractice website.  Participants at the launch tweeted using the #gp702010 and this generated quite a bit of discussion, which is worth checking out.  It is also worth having a read of Jonathan Marshall's blog on the subject.  

    

Here is the Sketchnote I created at the event based on Owen Ferguson’s presentation introducing the research:

We were also treated to a couple of presentations from GoodPractice clients about their approach to L&D and you can find my Sketchnotes of Peter Yarrow, from Standard Life Aberdeen and James O’Mahoney, from Edrington below:

Each piece of research in L&D adds to our understanding of what is actually happening in organisations and enables us to ask better questions and work with a more realistic view of the extent to which the models & practices so often discussed in conferences, books and articles are working.   Each piece of research gives us the possibility of working more effectively and having more of an impact. 

By commissioning and sharing their research each year GoodPractice contribute to the development of the whole profession.   It would be great to see more companies adopting this approach.

Burnham L & D works with individuals and organisations to help them learn and work more effectively.  As part of this I help L&D professionals to be even more effective through updating their skills and know-how.  I have a particular interest in curation and the use of digital technologies in learning.  I frequently Sketchnote at events and offer workshops in Sketchnoting.  

Learning Technologies: What Managers Really Think

Rachel Burnham: Yesterday GoodPractice launched the third in its annual pieces of research into how managers actually approach learning to address the challenges they face in their work.   This year’s report focused on the perceptions of managers in relation to learning and technology.  This is distinct from how effective the learning solution actually is.  As the report says ‘Perception is part of the context we work within: how managers feel about their workplace learning technologies will inevitably have an impact on their use.’

The research was conducted in association with ComRes and involved an online survey of a sample of 521 managers working in businesses with more than 500 people, carried out in the summer of 2017. 

The research focused on two overall questions:

• ·       What do managers think about the typical learning technologies that might be provided by their organisations?
• ·       How do they the learning technology provided by the organisations compares with technology they access in their personal life?

Here is my Sketchnote recorded live at the launch event on 16 November 2017:
