EVOLUTION OF LEARNING

What is the purpose of learning?

How did you learn the last thing you learnt?

The “old established” approach to organisational learning

• Generic approach: everyone learns the same

• Trainer-driven: one person “knows it all”

A corporate requirement

Design for the “masses”

• Focused on transferring information even if not highly applicable

Delivered in a classroom setting

“One off” approach

The role of the L&D leader

REACTIVE ROLE

TRAINER

HIGH COST

COMPLIANCE FOCUSED

LOW IMPACT

OWNS THE WHOLE TRAINING FUNCTION

An approach based in

theories

of learning

• Learning styles: auditory, kinesthetic…etc…

• Some people just can’t learn some things!

• Classical conditioning theory (Skinner)

• Operant conditional theory (Pavlov)

Right Vs. Left side of the brain

Post-Work:

Pre-Work:

Using a digital Info-graphic analyse complaints trends for the last 6 months Interview a Duty Manager asking what is the main reason guests complaints

Watch a 10 minute video about the reactions that guests have when they complaint

Using a Digital Board share your experiences dealing with at least 2 complaints after the training in the next 2 months.

Spend 10 minutes with a senior leader who is very strong at handling complaints looking for advise on what should be done

MODULE 2: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A COMPLAINING GUEST

MODULE 1: WHY ARE GUESTS COMPLAINIG?

MODULE 3: STEPS TO HANDLE A COMPLAINT

Session:

Session:

Session:

Using Digital Flashcards containing guest profiles, identify reasons why they may complaint according to their profile

Watch videos on complaints handling to extract tips

Facilitate conversation why guests complaint using pre-work analysis and interview Visit a website that provides Global statistics on the effects of complaints in hotels Affinity Wall: Let’s identify the top five complaints in our hotel

Role play the five top scenarios from module 2, using the guest profile information Study body language techniques on positive mirroring for complaints handling

Theory on psychology of complaints

Study case (Sound-bite) presenting main generic reactions from guests complaining

LEARNING NEEDS ANALYSIS

OPENING STATEMENT

Perception is a subjective experience that influences the way we assess reality. As such, It is important to learn structured methods that help us identify learning needs more objectively .

LET’S SUPPOSE…

Customer satisfaction

A senior manager of your hotel

Create a learning solution

WHAT PROGRAM WOULD YOU DESIGN?

THE CHALLENGE IS…

It is in our nature to “make assumptions” in order to explain something. Especially when there is lack of information.

It is easy to believe that there is one cause (one factor) that has led to a certain outcome, instead of thinking of the many “variables” that may influence a particular outcome.

WHAT VARIABLES MAY EFFECT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION?

Tools & Resources

Level of skill

Method or process

Supervision

Experience

Motivation

Confidenc e

Empowerment

Product

Passion

Managemen t Style

Knowledge

ANOTHER EXAMPLE…

We are asked to create a training program about self- motivation for our leaders in the hotel because they seem unhappy.

SELF-MOTIVATION

HAPPINESS AT WORK

We are asked to create a training program about self- motivation for our leaders in the hotel because they seem unhappy.

Perhaps, there is a CORRELATION

rather than a CAUSATION!

A THOUGHT…

DO YOU SEE THE DIFFICULTY ASSOCIATED TO “CLAIMING” CAUSAL RELATIONSHIPS?

A THOUGHT…

THIS IS WHY IS SO IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH

“PROBLEM STATEMENTS”

IT IS FAR EASIER TO WORK WITH CO-RRELATIONS!

In learning and development, correlations are easy to find if we exercise:

PATTERN IDENTIFICATION

METHODS USED TO ASSESS LEARNING NEEDS

Sometimes an authority figure asks for a learning solution

Sometimes business data informs us about the need for a learning solution

Sometimes systematic observations tell us the need for a learning solution

Sometimes a focus group will identify the need for a learning solution

Sometimes a surveys and questionnaires will inform us the need for a learning solution

Sometimes a conversation with others will inform us about the need for a learning solution

THESE 6 METHODS SHOULD BE USED FOR PATTERN IDENTIFICATION

THE 70:20:10 LEARNING MODEL

LEARNING HOW TO USE THE 70:20:10 LEARNING MODEL SHOULD HELP YOU FOCUS ON A CULTURE OF LEARNING RATHER THAN TRAINING

DIGITAL TOOLS IN LEARNING

OBJECTIVE:

To provide learners with “key concepts” from the workshop to take away with them and be able to revisit whenever they want.

Quizlet features include:

Learning component Digital Flash cards

• • • •

Monograms

Brief quizzes and games

OBJECTIVE:

To provide learners with digital booklets containing information from the workshop.

Especially used well with:

Pre-Work Post-Work

• • • • •

Sessions invites

Overviews of workshops

Learning catalogues / portfolios

OBJECTIVE:

To enable cohorts of learners to collaborate by exchanging concepts, materials, discussing topics and elaborating further reflection upon topics provided in the workshop.

Especially useful when:

• Leading a project with learners in different locations • Leadership development topics • Scrums • Modular learning

OBJECTIVE:

To provide learners with interactive activities including quizzes, word-clouds, polls, twits and multiple choice options.

Especially used in:

Tool box sessions

• As an “energiser” in classroom workshops
