Russ
Sharp, Bank of Montreal: Learning in 2012 - What should
we be doing today? The learning industry is changing rapidly
- our learner profiles are changing, different supporting technologies
and infrastructure are being introduced everyday, and the businesses
we support have high expectations for the learning. At BMO we
are working through a framework which will lead us to recommendations
for an integrated future state encompassing access, tracking
and reporting, delivery, development, and so on. I can share
where we are with this, show some of our current/proposed solutions,
and would be most interested in hearing what others are thinking
and doing. |

Campbell, Sun Microsystems: Sun's innovative Learning

ROUNDTABLE
DISCUSSION TOPICS
We
use roundtable discussions to cover general company news updates
and topics that haven't made it onto the formal agenda. Often, roundtable
time provides some of the greatest value of our meetings. Among
the informal topics during this meeting's roundtables, we'll discuss:
- Russ
Sharp, Bank of Montreal: BMO has recently encountered some contracting
issues with off the shelf content providers resulting from recent
U.S. legislation. This has lead to a below expectation experience
for us. Has anyone been working with off-the-shelf content providers
recently, and if so what has the experience been?
- Russ
Sharp, Bank of Montreal: Perhaps it would be useful to learn what
others are doing to orient their new employees to their organizations.
For us, the new approach will take the existing online program
- First Connections - and head in following direction: early thinking
is it would be reduced from 3 hrs to 20 or 30 minutes, be on-line
and include greater use of video (if technology permits). Pointers
to all regulatory and HR materials to add navigation for new hires.
- Michelle
Jansen, Lockheed Martin Space Systems: Alternative learning methods
(i.e., informal), what are others doing in this arena, are they
measuring success or not?
- Michelle
Jansen, Lockheed Martin Space Systems: Measuring the value of
learning.
- Michelle
Jansen, Lockheed Martin Space Systems: Visionary/futuristic
learning trends.
- Laura
Abihider, Lockheed Martin Space Systems: Knowledge
management approaches and measuring OD effectiveness.
- Phyllis
Huckabee, Quidel: Quidel Leadership Institute - a grand name for
very basic programs. As a small company with little history of
formal training, we are taking baby steps to get started, so there
isn't a lot I can share with the group (probably a lot they could
suggest!). However, I would be happy to talk about our "Food for
Thought" program that we've just started with supervisors. In
terms of informal learning, it is getting very positive reviews.
Phyllis' PPT Slides
- Harry
Wittenberg, Apple: Brief description of a workshop in developing
valid assessments.
- Pat
Golden, Booz Allen Hamilton: I would like to find out if anyone

Oracle/Peoplesoft, and if their company integrated performance
management and development modules.
- Pat
Golden, Booz Allen Hamilton: I am also interested in discussing
job titles and organizational structures, how organizations are
organizing their teams to support the business.
- Pat
Golden, Booz Allen Hamilton: Another topic might be tuition reimbursement
and how that is managed in their companies.
- Pat
Golden, Booz Allen Hamilton: Finally, the innovative learning
environment, virtual worlds, and how they are being used.
- Linda
LaRue, Kellogg: Comprehensive HR process, systems, and organization
redesign - starting an 18 month initiative
