How do we create the most effective learning program? Some of the most impactful learning happens when people learn from each other. In fact, a recent Bersin study found that learning with and from peers and via social networks is one of the biggest drivers of business and leadership outcomes.[1]
With globalization now a top priority for large organizations, this new research suggests that for companies to succeed at building a globally-integrated enterprise, they must adopt social and informal learning strategies and solutions.
Robert Kegan, a developmental psychologist based at Harvard University, long ago proposed theories that seem to underscore Bersin’s findings. Growth processes, such as learning, depend on connections, and these processes invariably occur in some context.[2]
Cohort-based learning has proven to be a highly-effective context. Learning from each other keeps the learning relevant. In this blog, we’ll look at the benefits of cohort-based learning and how the right LMS can facilitate this.In today’s global economy, with organizations spread world-wide, we now have
- large numbers of people,
- doing lots of things,
- producing lots of information, and
- requiring constantly-updated learning and certification.
As learning leaders within organizations, how do we manage all that?
If you are tasked with managing some aspect of a large group, your greatest need is efficiency. And an efficient means of accessing, delivering and analyzing information is the use of cohorts. Using cohorts to deliver learning content can make your work life easier and more productive.
