A large proportion of the necessary knowledge and skills we all deploy as professionals and executives are acquired post-graduation, and outside of a formal learning context.
Unfortunately, beyond giving us a strong motivation to learn, formal education does not prepare us to learn in the workplace. We must all develop new individual learning strategies and approaches to survive and thrive.
In conjunction with PDF, the Centre for Networked Learning is focused on researching into adult and professional learning and has developed effective approaches for meeting the needs of today's professionals and executives.
We are able to deliver programmes helping executives and professionals improve their learning skills including:
Identifying your own learning objectives (and continually assessing whether you are meeting them effectively)
Learning through communication with peers
Drawing support from experts
Mixing learning with work and life (maintaining the balance)
Effective asynchronous communication
Reflective learning (including the use of learning journals)
Effective experimentation
Using learning outcomes for career progression |
