Myles Runham – Digital & Learning
Amplifying signals of value in digital learning
A brief note from my consulting experience over the last while. It’s an obvious point. But, like many obvious points, it bears some repetition. Much is rightly made of senior stakeholder relationships in consulting phases of projects and in consulting roles. Seeing the landscape map as senior decision makers see it is vital to your … Continue reading Finding the GSD (the person who gets s@#t done) is gold dust
I have been spending a little time amongst content and resources addressing leadership, management and personal development recently. These are not my forte as a specialism but I do have some experience as a manager and as a person. Understandably, there is a lot of material being created and gathered around themes of working in … Continue reading Fear and anxiety or personal growth- which is most motivating for COVID times?
Is it OK to make lunch at a work meeting? Maybe some meetings can be more like radio to ease the burden.
Standards are crucial for digital success…is L&D missing the point and focusing on systems?
I was asked this question by a participant in an LPI Open Clinic session last week.

So, to the question: Is this the … Continue reading Is this the end of classroom training?
Ground Zero Cafe: the most dangerous eatery in the world? I like this story, even if the truth is opaque.

We do them with a casual confidence that we know what is going to happen as a result. I may be alone in … Continue reading Anything but normal
I am trying to avoid speculation about “what happens next?” and “how we adjust to the new normal”. There is too little information about what has happened and even less about any future directions we might see. We knew precious little about actual behaviour in L&D before Covid – the foundations for conjecture remain pretty … Continue reading Just in Case or Just in Time?
In February of 2011, News Corp launched, with some fanfare, The Daily. You are forgiven for missing this. It had a brief trajectory before coming to earth with something of a dull thud. It was an iPad inspired news app. Rupert Murdoch was greatly enthused by the arrival of the iPad and the possibilities it … Continue reading Pivoting to digital might not solve the problem
A quick post-omelette thought… Over lunch today, I spent some time swirling around a YouTube time sink. Having watched a video about the Black Lives Matter protests, I noticed that my YouTube guardians recommended a Featured playlist on my home page. This included some, what seemed to be popular, vidoes on the theme of “Understanding … Continue reading Popularity does not always win: pondering signals of relevance
