The question in the title is worded poorly, I admit. It ought to read: “Who should run your learning organisation?”. The need, and I do believe there still is one, to use the digital qualifier ought to be redundant by now. I do not believe it is, though. Digital is still seen as something to… Continue reading Who should run your digital learning organisation?

That product management conversation
When we decided to host a conversation about product management in learning, we were unsure whether people would join us and if we would have much to say to each other. So, it was gratifying to be joined by a smart, curious, experienced and voluble group last week. It was a busy chat and my… Continue reading That product management conversation
Creating an internal corporate product – a little more personal history
I am finding this product management theme to be a rich seam for thinking and organising ideas around my work. Having shared some personal history, this is a little more self-indulgence in that respect. It is a different example however, prompted again by recent conversation. It’s not strictly about learning and development but in a… Continue reading Creating an internal corporate product – a little more personal history
Developing a product mindset for L&D: A conversation
The event On Wednesday 26th May we’ll be hosting an open conversation about developing a product mindset in learning. In the digital world, the Product Management discipline has become a cohesive force for change. In learning and development, the value and opportunity of product management behaviours is beginning to be better understood. Whilst the idea… Continue reading Developing a product mindset for L&D: A conversation
A short personal story of product management for learning
Continuing the series of posts about product management in learning and getting a little more personal. The discussion and description of principles and approaches to product management for learning has caused some reflection on my part – when, where and how these have worked well for me and my colleagues and what bloopers and blunders… Continue reading A short personal story of product management for learning
What does a good product manager for learning do?
Before we start, a quick note on nomenclature, if I may. Product manager for learning and products for learning rather than learning products is a minor but useful clarification in the way we talk about this subject. Linguistic pedantry can be exhausting I realise, but I think we need to avoid the notion that we… Continue reading What does a good product manager for learning do?
What might a product manager for learning be?
For the persistent few, this is another post on the theme of product management in the learning world. (Previous posts can be found here, on our preoccupation with technology and here, on our preoccupation with platforms and programmes). I would like to shift the focus a little from the need for product management thinking in… Continue reading What might a product manager for learning be?
Making a start on digitalness – digital behaviours are simple but hard
Slightly warily, I am considering a series of posts on one theme. The theme is ‘making a start on digitalness’. I am wary because I have started this kind of project before and lost momentum. I am considering another attempt for this topic. In drafting this idea as one post I became lost in notes… Continue reading Making a start on digitalness – digital behaviours are simple but hard
The whole UX and nothing but the UX
Some recent workshop sessions and user (learner?) research with a client have made me wonder about a possible wrinkle on the smooth baize of UX thinking in the corporate world. In the wild public world of product design and delivery, we are free to design our best solution to user challenges and make it available.… Continue reading The whole UX and nothing but the UX
Learning on the web – Can it be as simple as that?
I was reminded of one of my early exchanges of views on arrival in the BBC this week. I was curious about the deliberation of the commissioning process and about the edifice that was being created under the learning banner. Coming, as I had, from the rapid fire and restless world of search, this all… Continue reading Learning on the web – Can it be as simple as that?
