What learning design teaches us about growth / Andre Plaut / Episode #126

Take a guess... How much time do you invest to learn something during your week? It's a lot. We learn all the time in order to grow as a professional, a team and an organisation. Heck by reading this email you're learning something (hopefully). Most learning happens organically and on the fly. Which is totally fine. But when you deliberately want to bridge a gap in knowledge, skill or experience it's smart to design that journey. That's where learning design comes in. According to Andre Plaut learning should be hard but not confusing, frustrating or painful. As you'll discover in this weeks episode there's a lot more to learning design than just coming up with training material. It's a (strategic) design discipline that very closely related to service design. After the conversation with Andre I got really excited about the potenial of learning design. Hope you will too. --- [ GUIDE ] -— 00:00 Welcome to episode 126 03:50 Who is Andre 05:00 60 second rapid fire 07:45 What is learning design 11:00 The goal of learning design 19:00 Redesigning the way we work 22:30 Learning design in practice 28:30 When to design learning 33:00 Setting teams up for success 40:00 The evolution of learning design 44:00 A better business conversation 46:30 The future of learning design 49:30 Recommended resources 51:00 Final thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- * https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreplaut/ * https://ahumanmachine.com/ * Workshop by Andre: Learning is Experience Design - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMprxiz5rGM * Square wheels cartoon - https://performancemanagementcompanyblog.com/tag/cartoon-too-busy/ Books: * John Marshall: Definer of a Nation - https://amzn.to/3w1y9mD * Design for How People Learn - https://amzn.to/3y2Y2nJ * Making Conversation - https://amzn.to/3hh1K7f --- [ HOW TO EXPLAIN SERVICE DESIGN ] --- Learn what it takes to get your clients, colleagues, managers, CEOs and even grandmas as excited about service design as you are. https://servicedesignshow.com/free-course
