Recommendation

Learning tech expert Nelson Sivalingam argues organizations must put aside traditional, plodding approaches to developing learning content and adopt Lean and Agile principles instead. By creating “minimum valuable learning” content and iterating toward a fully viable product in sprints, professionals can develop relevant learning linked to business outcomes – at greater speed. Sivalingam, who heads a learning technology platform, refreshingly refrains from using his book as a marketing ploy, offering a convincing case for bringing Lean and Agile to L&D.

Take-Aways

  • In a world of exponential change, those who learn fastest will win.
  • Apply Lean management principles to develop L&D initiatives at speed.
  • L&D organizations often fail to match their products to their customers’ needs and wants.

    Those who learn fastest win. True. Learning involves unlearning. Thus, who of those who can unlearn fastest will learn the fastest.
