"No one asks or answers the tricky question "How can I implement LT
successfully in my organization?" Now finally someone has. We have
some practical, concrete and exceptionally clear answers here that
should not be ignored. This book could save you time, money and a
lot of embarrassment. Go read it." * Nigel Paine, international
speaker and author of The Learning Challenge *
"Anyone engaged in workplace learning will benefit from reading
this book. Drawing on plenty of real-world examples, it spells out
clearly what L&D professionals need to do when looking to
extend their focus beyond the classroom and into integrating
learning technologies." * Charles Jennings, Co-founder, 70:20:10
Institute *
"This book illustrates a key fact of learning and performance tools
- that making them work has very little to do with the technology
and almost everything to do with the people involved. These tools
are just that. Having a hammer doesn't make one a carpenter. This
book speaks to the key factors we need to adopt to bridge this gap
and get the most out of these valuable resources. Highly
recommended!" * Bob Mosher, learning advocate, Masie Center *
"There is enough rhetoric around leveraging SMAC (Social, Mobile,
Analytics and Cloud) within enterprise learning. This can mean
putting together a comprehensive learning architecture that could
include enterprise social platforms, contemporary LMS, mobile
learning apps, simulations, virtual reality tools, and so on.
Donald H Taylor focuses on the leadership, maturity and mindset
required to launch and embed these disruptive ideas within
enterprise learning. He also highlights the skills required to
champion new ways of working that must be built on a robust
understanding of organizations' internal reality and context." *
Sunder Ramachandran, general manager - training, GlaxoSmithKline
Pharmaceuticals India *
"The future of learning at work is blended and increasingly
informal. No one is better placed than Donald H Taylor to
understand both the opportunities and the practical approaches
needed to overcome the numerous obstacles in our path." * Clive
Shepherd, founding director, The More than Blended Learning Company
*
"Since 2003, Towards Maturity's benchmark research has shown how
learning innovation can, and does, deliver business impact. It has
also uncovered that many L&D professionals struggle to
understand the tactics necessary for success. Donald H Taylor
combines his pragmatic experience with research and case studies to
explore good practices in learning technology implementations and
has created a must-read for everyone involved in the process." *
Laura Overton, CEO and founder, Towards Maturity *
"So much of modern workplace learning relies on technologies and
yet nobody has written a definitive guide to their implementation -
until now. It's readable, insightful and useful and I recommend
it." * Jane Hart, founder, Centre for Learning and Performance
Technologies *
