Let’s Talk Learning

There’s a busy week ahead for the Lumesse team with important learning industry events taking place in both London and Karlsruhe.

In London, we’ll be reporting live from Learning Technologies at Olympia, where on Tuesday we’ll also be running a seminar with organisational learning consultant, Paul Rudd, examining how to deliver agile learning with tangible business impact.

If you’re planning to attend either event, please stop by our stand to talk about our award winning learning and content solutions, including the latest in mobile and social learning.  We’re also offering the chance to win an iPad Mini.

Check back here for further event updates and reports throughout the week.

HR Tech Europe 2012 underway with Gartner

Thomas Otter, VP research at analyst Gartner, has just opened the HR Tech Europe conference with a talk on 'the nexus'. He described this as the coming together of many forces to create something new.

His talk focused on the four forces that are currently impacting on HR technology. These are: Social technology, Mobile, Cloud and Information - big data.

He told delegates that just one of these elements on its own would be disruptive enough for business but all four are creating enormous challenges.

Global Research - 'Agile Learning: Living with the Speed of Change'

Our major new global research project, 'Agile Learning: Living with the Speed of Change' is now available, and examines how HR leaders around the world are delivering learning at a time when there is huge pressure to deliver new employee skills to the front line more rapidly, more often and with much greater impact than ever before.

The findings illustrate the learning challenge faced by HR practitioners around the globe, in organisations of all sizes, and why their approach to learning and the way they deliver it needs to become much more agile if it is to realise its true potential, and keep pace with the speed of change.

Recruiting through Social Media - Candidate experience

Candidate experience is normally forgotten in a world full of new technology and new communication channels. With recruiters always competing to hire the best and a shrinking experienced talent pool , maybe it is time to start concentrating on the thousands of Graduates that leave Universities every year desperate to start their careers?

Recruiting through Social Media - Mobile: A changing world

To slightly steal a well-known slogan ‘the future is bright, the future is…mobile.’

For a while now I have felt strongly that mobile is going to take over. Every day you see people buried into their phones, preferring to text people over talking to them in person. These hand-held devices are out in force on busy trains, when people walk down the street or even when watching television with their families.

They are constantly on their phones 24/7 and it has fast become the latest communication platform to engage with.

Recruiting through Social Media - It's all about trust

From my experience talking to others about social media, ‘trust’ is clearly still a grey area.

Social media has rapidly become an essential part of campaigns and most have become scared by this sudden change. But the world of social media is forever changing and therefore I believe people need to stop being so afraid to get it wrong.

After all, missing something is just part of the learning process in social so people just need to 'ask for forgiveness not permission'.
