Announcing Moving Learning 2006

Moving Learning 2006 | 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands | 09 March 2006

Moving Learning 2006 is a one-day seminar about informal learning and the changes taking place in organizational learning, running in both Reading on 14 June 2006 and Amsterdam on 15 June 2006.

Introduction by Alfred Remmits,
CEO LearningGuide Solutions

Moving Learning 2006’s Marielle Buijink said: "Businesses are starting to demand learning that directly raises performance right at the moment of need. There’s a shift emerging in the industry from training to learning and from providing skills to enabling performance. This will be the theme for Moving Learning 2006."

"Controlling and managing informal learning and embedding learning into work-processes is a radical departure from how training teams have traditionally operated. Yet, as the shift from skills to performance gains traction, it is in these two areas that most of the action will occur."

Moving Learning 2006 is a short, one-day event for managers of learning that answers the important questions that arise when organizations lift the lid on informal learning:

• How much knowledge do workers need to hold in their heads to do their jobs and how much knowledge should be available as and when it’s needed?
• What tools, systems and methods are available for controlling informal learning and embedding learning into work processes?
• If the focus of learning is moving to raising performance at the expense of raising skills then learning organizations need to better-understand performance analysis and their businesses’ priorities. How can the training team get to grips with this, practically?

"Moving Learning 2006 will provoke, educate and inspire managers of organizational learning with presentations, interactive discussions and case-studies led by some of the world’s foremost learning thought-leaders. We intend to challenge traditional thinking and explore how informal learning strategies will become the norm in the ‘learning team’ of the future," added Marielle Buijink.
