Why you should listen to Ben: |
Plenary Session: Wed Sept 14, 2011
9:30am - 10:00am |

To overcome the challenges presented by an increasingly competitive business environment, organisations need more effective ways to engage their multi-generational workforce of Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Millennials. Social Learning accelerates workforce readiness through direct access to experts, conversations, notifications, and contributions which empower people to impact the business. Social Learning augments the whole learning environment from Web-based to virtual classrooms to create a more engaging experience for the employee. Specifically we will cover how Social Learning delivers both formal processes for some learners and ad hoc experiences for others; how it helps to make sense of the “knowledge run wild experience” through crowd sourcing informal assets; makes visible group and individual competencies using dynamic network maps of skills and competencies; makes it easy to tag and collect any and all informal resources from across the enterprise.
