Creating a compellingvisionPeople are inspired by dreamsand ideas, just remember thespeech by Martin Luther Kingin 1963 which began 'I have adream..'   In business, thedream for the future iscommunicated through avision. But to have a vision isnot enough, it needs to becompelling.

To be valued, learning needs tofeature as prominently as thebudget and sales forecasts; itneeds to be up there with keystrategic projects and settingthe direction for theorganisation. The first step ingiving learning its rightful placein organisational strategy is toensure you have a vision forlearning which those inpositions of power can buyinto.

Make it short and memorable

Write in the future tense, make it easy to understandUse emotive language that paints vivid pictures inpeople's minds

Appeal to the broadest range of people

Don’t state end dates, it should stand the test of timeIt should enable people to see the role they can play inthat vision

Ensure the benefits from achieving the vision are clear

Achieving the vision should be challenging but notimpossible

It should excite passion, appeal to the 'emotional self'and make people really want to be part of the 'new world'

It should enable people to recognise 'when we get there'

It should be clear how the vision differs from the old world

It should be compelling

Check that the language you use is inspiring, adding to the excitementand momentum.

Leaders should be able to articulate it passionately and unreservedlybelieve in it, articulating it with authenticity and emotion.

Step 2Grow business skills and enhance your gravitasIn 2013 the CIPD Learning and Talent surveyreported that:

26%reported they linked learningto business strategy

ONLY

38%of learning professionalsused business metrics toevaluate the impact oflearning

ONLY

58% reported difficulty inaccessing data tosupport any evaluation

Learning functions are often represented at boardlevel by the HR Director. In 2012 the Economist

Intelligence Unit identified that 58% of ChiefFinance Officers believe their Head of HR is

not of the same calibre as other C Levelexecutives and 67% felt their Head of

HR did not understand the businesswell enough.

By association, whereis the credibility for learning?

Page 11

If the Director ofFinance is not

clear on the return on

investment for

learning, what credibility

will L&D have across

organisation?

Page 12

Our LearningEntrepreneur™ systemA key component in our Learning EntrepreneurTM system isthe need to develop a business savvy mindset in learningprofessionals. Without this learning professionals will nothave credibility in the organisation and learning will not bevalued.

Learning professionals need to understand:

5 Top Tips for engagingwith stakeholdersFor many L&Dprofessionalsworking inorganisations,getting buy-infrom those inpositions ofpower andinfluence iscritical to yoursuccess.

Here are 5 TopTips to start youon thatsuccessfuljourney!

Go get 'emtiger!

Assumptions are the termites ofrelationships.

Are they your manager, Operations Director, senior managers, HRcolleagues, potential delegates? Or anyone who interacts and isimpacted by the learning intervention.  This is also about buildingrelationships, developing strong networks and communicating yoursuccesses.  By doing this you begin to create advocates who caninfluence the business & help you implement your vision.

This is also about really understanding how they communicate andgetting onto their wavelength.

Be clear about the outcomes of your learning intervention & importantlyhow this will positively impact the business.  Can you visualize theoutcomes? If you can't then they aren't clear enough, so it will bedifficult for you to communicate them to others.

People often oppose new things and they can't grasp how it will work.By putting together a low risk 'taster' experience you will help developtheir understanding & encourage their support & quality feedback.

Adopt the mindset of a Learning Entrepreneur with power & influence toaffect change within the organisation. This helps you communicateconfidently & positively so that your learning intervention is strategicallyimpactful.

Step 3Improve the impact and value of learning solutions…

With today’s constant speed ofchange within organisations,learning designers simply have torespond instantly or run the riskof their solution being outdatedbefore it’s been rolled out.And for many managers releasing people fortraining can be a real strain on resources.That means, as designers, we need toensure that events really hit the mark interms of knowledge, skills and attitude sothat learners return to the business all firedup and raring to go.

Great learning comes when people want tolearn and when they can discover theanswers for themselves. This way they aremuch more likely to put what they learn intopractice on the job.

The following solutions will help your teamrapidly develop solutions which astound,amaze, engage and wow your learners.

5 Top Tips for creativity

Innovation distinguishes between aleader and a follower

Steve Jobs

Pick out a piece of music that when you hear it makes you feel alive,energised and full of beans and let your body move to the music. Letthe creativity flow through your body and inspire your mind with newthoughts and ideas.

Phone, meet or write to a friend or colleague and share your ideas andallow them to add, extend, challenge and harmonise your ideas - justlike a real jam session.

Take the luxury time of reading an article or book on the subject youwant to be inspired about. Have a luxury bar of chocolate, cup cake orwhatever takes your fancy to make it an truly indulgent experience. Butdo remember keeping up to date with trends in simply not a luxurytoday, it is essential and the more you can make it pleasurable, themore you will remember.

Give yourself permission to take the time to daydream. Focus on what itis you want to create and allow your imagination to take flight. You canallow your unconscious mind to do the work for you once it knows whatyou want to achieve, like doing mundane tasks such as filing; give yourunconscious mind the freedom to get to work.

Surround yourself with what inspires you, such as your favouritequotes, colours, pictures, plants, music, objects. books etc. Addsomething new or change the position of your desk or chair to get abetter and fresher perspective.

As learningprofessionals weare busy creativepeople, writingnew learningprogrammes,adding new life toexistingprogrammesproviding learningsolutions andfacilitatingworkshops - sohere are five toptips to boost yourcreativity to addzing and zest toyour day.

Step 4Supporting delivery to the business

No organisation exists in avacuum, no department isautonomous, no one person hasall the answers and no oneteam can do it all themselves.

This is where our approach topartnering and collaboration canreally add value to your vision forlearning.

We do this in three ways:• Coaching• Learning Consultancy• Corporate Events

Let’s explore theseopportunities in moredetail……

It is what we think weknow already thatoften prevents us

from learning.Claude Bernard

Page 26

We all hit a ‘brick wall’ from time to time, unable to see what to do next. Ifonly we had someone to help us think it through, to ask us the rightquestions to unlock the problem and release our full potential.Coaching is effective as part of development but what about as a tool to tackle real businessproblems. Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone to help you address the problems that arekeeping you awake at night? We can provide coaching at all levels of the organisation and target itat what is of most value to you..

Coaching

Examples:• Developing inner and outer confidence• Performance and behaviour change• Building female credibility• Role Modelling and personal brand• Promotion and career progression

Leadership Coaching

Leadership can be a lonely place. It’s a bigstep from managing a team to leading anoperation. We can help elevate your thinking,find your leadership values and realise yourvision for learning.

Examples:• Learning Design & Development• Presentation and Delivery skills• Large group facilitation• Social Media• Building great relationships

Management coachingThat first step into team management canbe scary. Taking on an established teamcan be daunting. How can you get the mostout of your team and ensure they are seenas positive role models for learning acrossthe organisation.

Examples:• People/Team Management• Improving Team Dynamics• Project/Programme Management• Organisation, prioritisation and

delegation

I never cease to be amazed atthe power of the coaching process todraw out the skills or talent that was previouslyhidden within an individual, and which invariably finds away to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.John Russell, Managing Director, Harley Davidson Europe Ltd.

5 key principles for self-managed learning

The role of the L&D professional in SML is nowto signpost and guide people to enable themaccess their learning from reliable sources.

This means that individuals willingly take responsibility for all aspects oftheir learning journey which includes deciding what they need to learnand how they will learn it.

In the past L&D professionals have been looked to as the experts in thesubject in which they train, they had the experience, the qualificationsand the theory. The world has moved on and individuals don't have thetime, patience or inclination to wait for the professional to be availableto consult.

Organisations and individuals alike rarely have the time to wait on theavailability of training courses, often learning is needed to coincide withthe commencement of a key project or piece of work.

The majority of learning about your work is done on the job, thereforethe power of enabling peer to peer learning is evident but often not fullyutilised.

In a nutshell SMLis aboutindividuals takingresponsibility fortheir own learningand managing theachievement oflearningthemselves.

This requiresthem to becommitted totheir owndevelopment andto be the activedriver of allactivity to ensuretheir own learningneeds are met.

With SML, learning is not an add-on to the day job, it is not somethingto be fitted in around the workload, rather learning is part of, andintegral to, working. Page 31
