Building Business Performance with Social Media
The latest Towards Maturity benchmark report showed that new media such as podcasting , blogs and wikis are on the increase but what real business benefits are they bringing? With so many new tools and so little time available, how can we get started?
This interview with Jane Hart provides a helpful overview on where new media can add value to learning, setting a strategy for social learning, identifying some of the barriers and handy hints on getting started.

Towards Maturity Learning Health Check season extended to Monday 16 September. Early 2019 results highlight that only 7% of L&D leaders report that their organisation encourages and provides time for reflection*
By popular demand, the 2019 Learning Health Check season has now been extended until Monday 16th September. There is still enough time to complete your review and revisiting regularly can also help learning professionals to measure progress year on year, highlight areas where improvement is needed and provide evidence to build a business case for change.
We all have blind spots, why does being aware of yours add value?
When it comes to organisational culture, performance and learning, blind spots (or as they are often referred to ‘not seeing the light’) are usually found at the root of most of our problems with work today. These problems shape our day to day conversations, thinking, mood, judgement, decisions-making, or fundamental lack of them. These issues can make or break your workplace experience.
Going Beyond Ticking the Box
With 56% of organisations reporting that a lack of learner engagement is hindering the success of compliance within the business, it is clear that something needs to be done to highlight the value of these programmes to learners in order for them to engage with the content and retain the information.
The evidence is clear – successful people learn to leap by benchmarking!
In Deloitte’s 2019 Global Human Capital Trends report, their top-rated trend for 2019 is the need to improve Learning and Development (L&D). 86% of respondents to their global survey rated this issue important or very important, with only 10% of respondents feeling “very ready” to address it.
