612 The Emergent Training Professional: How to Thrive in the Enterprise 4.0 Era

12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Monday, October 26

After seeing other companies adopt new technology like AR/VR, AI, or IoT, many training professionals are wondering how to even get started on solutions that are beneficial to their own needs. Or they need guidance after a failed or less-than-stellar attempt on emergent tech that left stakeholders disappointed. The multitude of technology options can seem overwhelming, inaccessible, and unaffordable. And, finding a clear path to a specific solution that meets specific needs quickly feels impossible. Training professionals already know their worlds are changing because of emergent technology. The confusion and handwringing is over and now they want specific solutions that actually work for their particular training needs and career aspirations.

In this session you will move past the high-level discussions of emergent tech and touch and see an actual VR example (Oculus Quest) while learning how to build a coherent strategy that meets the needs of the target audience and the learning objectives. You'll learn practical steps to build an emergent technology adoption that takes into account the requirements of the Audience, the Context, and the Technology—the ACT Connection. You will understand how to work alongside the new training team member named "AI" and how to see it not as a threat but a powerful ally. Most importantly, you will learn real steps to integrate new technology solutions back in the real world. The session will set the stage for the Enterprise 4.0 era and share how it is changing the fundamentals of L&D in areas such as instructional design, assessment, determining skill sets, collaboration, learner tracking, and learning goals. In other words—everything.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Ways to evaluate your existing training methods in light of the Enterprise 4.0 era
  • Criteria that leads to consideration of different types of emergent technology in order to meet your specific training needs
  • The importance of clearly understanding your target audience and their exposure to the emergent technology
  • The ways that user context will greatly impact the training experience impact
