Report & Infographic

Learning Tech Ecosystems

Q1 2019

Learning Tech Ecosystems

Report & infographic
Funding Status: 20%
Available: Q1 2019

Research Overview

Learning leaders face the daunting task of assembling a set of technologies that will help their workforce develop in the right ways. Unfortunately, there is no one right answer. What works in one organization may fail spectacularly in another. This report will look into several examples of technology ecosystems from leading companies. We’ll interview leaders to determine how and why they chose them, and provide guidance into how to make these tech decisions.

The Responsive Organization

Q1 2019

The Responsive Organization

Report, Infographic & Webcast
Funding Status: 50%
Available: Q1 2019

Research Overview

Organizations, and the employees within them, are often compared to machines: leaders give employees a task, tell them to execute it, and approve any deviations. While this approach can work well for creating large efficiencies on clear tasks, it fails in times of massive change and complexity. We are now in one of those times. This report discusses how organizations can create an alternative approach – one that capitalizes on the humanness of all of us and enables the organization as a whole to be more responsive. It will especially explore the intersections of culture, engagement and leadership, and their impact on employee experience.

Learning Impact

Q1 2019

Learning Impact

Report
Funding Status: 20%
Available: Q1 2019

Research Overview

With new technologies, access to new data sources, and new ways of thinking about how learning impacts our organizations, a new conversation is emerging about learning measurement, analytics, and overall impact.

This research will run parallel to our Learning Impact Collective and will share major findings of that effort. It will also dive into what is currently being said in the space, how organizations are currently doing it, and, hopefully, introduce a framework to help organizations think about it.

Funding our research

We use a crowd-funded model for research for one main reason: it keeps us honest. Multiple funding sources for any one project ensures that research remains unbiased. We are in various stages of funding for several projects. For more information and a full list of projects, visit our Roadmap page. Interested in funding some research?
