		<description><![CDATA[Deployment gets you to the end-of-training celebration party and the three-bite shrimp, the balloons, the creepy clowns, and the face painting. A frightfully high percentage of system knowledge packed into the heads and hearts of learners evaporates [unreinforced knowledge retention loss] almost before all the confetti is swept up from the gala celebration. Then comes something called GoLive, and heads and hearts that were “certified as ready”, struggle with crippled recall knowledge; some users settling for feelings of success when they can remember enough to sign-on to SAP or the EMR the first time. Now our learners are in their downstream, post-training environment called the work context. Now they are outside of the scope and charter of most training organizations. Now they are most dangerous. As Satchel Paige said, “It’s not what you don’t know that can hurt you; it’s what you think you know that just ain’t so!”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=932&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having been a Sales Trainer, Sales Training Manager, and Director Sale Training in a couple of previous lives, I nearly jumped out of my chair when I read a blog post by a new networking contact, David Brock. Dave authors a blog, Partners in Excellence, and his post of December 7th “Let’s Put an End to Product Training” triggered a wee bit of a dance…not really, but I did unleash a couple mental fist-pumps. First-hand experience and many many road miles confirm how wasteful product training can be. I must add, it is not “What we train” as much as it is ‘How we train it.” Sales reps certainly need product knowledge, but the ability to spew features and promise of intangible benefits at a prospect is a waste of time and energy to both parties.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=919&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The original question… “What Kind of Learning Is Best Suited to Mobile Technology? …surfaced yesterday in a networking group and included three different learning contexts:
–         Acquisition of learning
–         Retention of learning
–         Application of learning

The first thing that popped into my head was… "Yeah, all three are a good fit!" Then the consultant in me kicked in and the answer morphed to what we are all trained to give…  “It depends.”

Having all my bases covered, I attempted to clarify…or was that justify... <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=914&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[C-suite's addiction leads to relentless pursuit of ROI. There's a headline for you! I recognize this affliction is common these days and any attempts to pry fingers off traditions are often seen as more of an assault than an effort to evolve beyond current paradigms. Methinks we ultimately must drive transformational change in the perceived role Training &#38; Development (T&#38;D) plays in the organization.  Current T&#38;D practices produce traditional training outcomes. What the C-suite needs to see…and will respond to…are a workforce that has the capacity to be agile and effective at the point of work…AND…produces sustainable business outcomes. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=908&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If we seek sustained capability in our workforce - If we seek to inject learning agility into the work environment - Do we rely upon instructional design (ISD) best practices or do we focus on architecting learning solutions? I'm convinced the answer is, "Yes, and..."  This short piece addresses a few key reasons why even the best ISD practices will fall short if we are seeking tangible business results that manifest beyond solid level 1 &#38; 2 evaluations. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=904&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reflecting on this choice of title, I can imagine some rather extreme images springing forth in the minds of long-time sales training purists. I say this with confidence because the topic of facilitating learning at the edges of the ecosystem has freaked out both platform trainers and instructional design professionals before. Yeah, and yours truly was that source of disruption – and more than once. Several colleagues actually questioned if the time had come to update their resumes. In my no-longer-humble-opinion, if sales training does not step up…make that…step out to the edges of the learning ecosystem, training budgets will continue to shrink and those resumes will need updated anyway<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=897&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who among us have resisted the urge to pass a finger through the flame of a candle? I certainly recall warnings that fire equals hot equals burn equals pain. Were you warned? I am sure you were, and yet, we all had to learn what hot meant by taking the risk, ignoring the sincere warning of one who had already made that same mistake. Is that a weakness? A flaw? Or is it just part of growing up? Unfortunately, as we leave childhood and pass into and through our teen years, risks are not as benign and simple as candles, and often the stakes are much higher…as are the flames.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=892&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we strip away products &#38; services and the marketing glitz &#38; glitter, what is left that sustains [or not] the viability of a business? My vote goes to – the workforce. Even if we do not strip these things away, I still feel strongly that the workforce is at the root of a successful sustainable business. Obviously, there are other external factors like the state of the economy, cost and availability of money, and other environmental drivers and restrainers, but even including them, the pressures and demands on the business to survive, much less flourish, still is largely dependent on the effectiveness of the workforce. Why then do we insist on training them where direct business impact is not part of the outcome? <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livinginlearning.com&amp;blog=8050517&amp;post=844&amp;subd=gdogwise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Google “learning ecosystems” and prepare to wade through over 12 million returns. Funny thing – I Googled that phrase a few years ago and found only a fraction of what is there today.
