How To Make eLearning Work
In our latest white paper ‘How to Make eLearning Work’, we will share with you some of the insights we’ve gathered during our intensive two year programme of research and development which culminated in the launch of our groundbreaking, 100% virtual, fully blended, management development programme STAR® Manager.
We hope that our ideas and insights will be useful in guiding others through their own learning journey, and in some way, contribute to the overall quality and effectiveness of eLearning in organisations as a whole.
Part 1 looks at the rise of eLearning in the workplace and the limitations organisations need to overcome. Part 2 explores the conditions that need to exist for eLearning to work well. In Part 3, we ask the big questions and give guidance about how to implement eLearning strategies as well as offering a ‘blueprint tool’ that can be used to help design effective eLearning policies. Part 4 explores some future considerations for learning in an online world, and, finally, in Part 5, we reflect upon how important it is for organisations to re-evaluate their learning and development strategies in order to remain relevant and competitive in the new world.

How to Choose The Best Coaching Skills Solution For Your Organisation
Coaching has become increasingly popular as a learning and development strategy in organisations, with many rating it as the third most commonly used tool. This suggests that coaching is being embraced by organisations and is perceived as playing an important commercial role.Indeed, carefully embedded coaching skills should bring about enormous benefits for organisations, however, in terms of effectiveness, CIPD reports show that coaching still falls behind in-house development programmes and on the job training.
It seems that despite its popularity, organisations are finding it really difficult to translate the practice of coaching into tangible outcomes. So what is happening?
In part one of our white paper, we start by exploring some of the obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of coaching in organisations. In part two, we provide top tips to help organisations make the best choice of coaching skills training based on their own specific needs.
We put all of this into context in part three, by presenting some of our client case studies, each representing a different way of bringing coaching skills into their organisations and demonstrating the fantastic results they were able to achieve by following our top tips. In response to the many frequently asked questions we receive, part four will address the issues that are commonly raised by organisations wanting to make the right decision.
Lastly, in part five, we offer our final thoughts about what really makes coaching skills training effective in organisations.

How to Create Organisational Agility in Times of Unprecedented Change
It’s hard to overstate the unprecedented pace of change that every organisation faces in today’s VUCA world. The future is more unpredictable than ever before and this has already caused many organisations to strain (and break) under the pressure.
According to Dominic Ashley-Timms, Managing Director at Notion,”In order to survive this onslaught of change, organisations need to displace typical organisational dynamics and traditional models of management with a more agile way of existing that increases the organisation’s ability to respond rapidly to change.”
Here, Dominic explains why he thinks it’s time for organisations to get beyond the ‘What’ and start implementing the ‘How’ by learning to generate high levels of enquiry.
