3. Here is the data!
Face to face training has reduced from 33%in 2006 to about
21%in 2011 - and probably about 10%in 2017
Only 16% of L and D spending is allocated to
instructor led training…..

4. 2030 is only 14 years away…..
At least 50%of jobs today won’t
exist
1 out of 2 people won’t
have a job because of automation
and artificial intelligence
In 10 years time, 75%of your
organization will be millennials

6. Gone are the days……
• L and D searched for generic learning
materials
• Informal learning not recognised
• Only the privileged few made it on to a
program
• Classes are restricted in size
• The trainer is key
• Learner feedback is all that counted
• The LMS is king – all the Google
content in the world cannot fit in to an
LMS….

7. Learning 2.0 is emerging – the
disruptors are here already!
ON DEMAND to
fit in to busy
lifestyles
CONNECTED
Social, peer
recommended, global
PERSONALISED
Experiential, fun, self
directed

anywhere

8. The new face of learning

each other, learn
informally

MCI!

13. 3. It’s gamified!
We love competition – against others and ourselves

14. What does the research show?
1. Games with no message
attached to them place
people in to flow – the
candy crush effect:
Brain teasers
Puzzles
 Fun games
FACT: 72% of all employees in
the USA engage in games, not
just millennials

15. 4. That means it’s all about the data
We want to embed skills and we want to know that they are embedded

16. We have to beat the forgetting curve

17. Close the 5 reinforcement gaps
• The knowledge gap
• The skills gap
• The motivation gap
• The gap in the context /
environment
• The communication gap

18. 4. It’s personalized + it’s curated

19. 5. It’s a world of augmented and virtual reality

20. Where does this leave us as trainers?
Do we still have a job?

21. The evolving role of the trainer
We are learning concierges!
We are design thinking gurus!
We are curators and community leaders
We are data analysts and performance consultants

22. It’s happening now in Australia!
Victoria rolls out VR ambulance training program

23. Navitas joins with universities to back
start-ups in educational technology

24. What is it?
“Micro-learning is an emergent learning strategy known
for quickly closing skill and knowledge gaps. It seems to
be an ideal instructional approach for many situations
because information changes quickly.”
“Micro-learning is any brief and targeted learning
object that spans between 3 to 6 minutes.”

25. What is the MCI philosophy?
Swing the pendulum…
Just enough to intrigue or engage learners and keep them from being bored, but not too far so they lose motivation
The objective: Make them WANT to investigate further, either by research or asking someone

26. If we are going to spend time in the
training room, it had best be worthwhile!

28. Final messages
It’s no longer
‘vanilla’

29. The sky is the limit – get creative in re-
thinking the learning experience…..
A device with WIFI has changed
everything!

30. Start talking up your strategy – begin to lay the
foundation to give learners different choices and to
meet them where they are so that there are both push
and pull options

31. Do you want to be like the scribes of the 15th
Century?

32. Do you want to be like Kodak?

33. Untethered learning spaces where the
class is on all the time, buddies and
guides, mentors to supplement digital…..

34. Your checklist for moving in to digital
 What is the purpose of the program
How can I change my approach to selecting a different
pedagogy?
How might I brief management about the changes?
How will I bring my learners along for the journey?
How might I promote the program and the opportunities?
What type of IT support will be required for device
deployment?
What budget requirements are there?
How will I make this experience sustainable?
