Learning From The Edges
The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

Learning From The Edges
Episode #9 Technology: A Friction Point or A Powerful Ally for Learning? With guests Ady Howes & Nelson Sivalingam.
This week sees us delving into the way we use technology, exploring how we can move away from the idea of a few power users to a wider distribution of tech skills throughout the workforce.
As we have access to a wonderful array of tech in our personal lives, we should be thinking about how we can transfer our delivery, so that we can deploy relevant and personalised learning to empower and encourage power learners! Power learners who not only want to develop themselves, but also help to drive productivity.
