Building Prototypes with Collaborative Tools
Before you put learning tools and content into code, it takes a diligent team to define, present, and get buy-in on new ideas. Dedicating an early phase of your projects to rapid prototyping can help you develop your ideas, propose better learning experiences, and validate or pivot on your concepts based on how they test with your audience. Now, we can get to better solutions—and fewer unwelcome surprises—thanks to Miro and Figma: collaborative web-based tools where we can work on prototypes together with our stakeholders or teammates. In this session, learn the foundations of rapid prototyping and how it helps…

Creating a More Social Organization to Build a Learning Organization
Efforts at increasing collaboration in organizations arestill plodding along. Social technology for many workers is just one more thingto check, and top-down leadership efforts gain little traction. The “continuouslearning” organization seems unattainable. For learning to become connected and continuous, we need toovercome the sociological and psychological barriers preventing workflowlearning at scale. This requires that we go up a level and challenge our veryorganizational designs in new ways. In this session, we will look at the unconscious systems ofwork that may be working against knowledge sharing. We’ll discuss the long-heldbeliefs and biases that atrophy workers and leaders alike, preventing realgains in…

Sense-Making and Social Leadership
There is a gap between theory and practice: the space inwhich we ‘make sense’ of what we learn and build the vocabulary and behaviorsto put it into practice. In this session, we will explore how this ‘sensemaking’ works and consider the role of leaders in facilitating and enabling it. We will consider the difference between individual andcollective ‘sense making’ and the ways that our thinking is influenced orconstrained by the context we already know, as well as understanding howleaders who demonstrate humility in their own understanding can create spacefor others to learn more effectively.
