In this engaging discussion, Amit Garg talks to Keith Keating, Global Learning Strategist at GP Strategies about design thinking for learning engagement. With a vast experience of 20 years in L&D, Keith leads clients on the development and execution of their global learning strategies. He harnesses design thinking to help fortune 500 clients tap into understanding and resolving un-met customer and employee needs. Keith finds his passion in preparing these companies for the future of work.
While talking to Amit, Keith candidly mentioned about his journey and how he was quite obsessed about losing a job & job titles initially. His belief of being a lifelong learner led him to gain control over his own future & adopting a learning approach. Keith’s keen passion lies in enabling, encouraging and empowering talent to take control of their future.
Sharing his thoughts on learning engagement, Keith talks how learning engagement is really about the quality and quantity of learner’s participation in the training or learning experience. Keith has some great advice for learning leaders and learning designers in terms of prototyping faster and being wary of ‘too much’ engagement. He believes that motivation & inspiration are two of the biggest gaps that hamper the ability to create that learning engagement.
Here are the key takeaways from this podcast-
- Changing learner mindset from being ‘order takers’ to ‘trusted advisors’
- Culture - A desired catalyst for learning engagement
- Design thinking integration with learning engagement
- Treating technology as a tool & not as a solution
