[HYBRID EVENT] INNOVLOGUE: LEVERAGING FAILURE FOR L&D SUCCESS

--------------------------------------------

Against the backdrop of today's volatile, complex working environment, learning is no longer for the here and now. It must prepare us to face the future. So, how can we transform training to meet ever-changing workforce and business needs? "Learning by doing" and "Learning from your mistakes" are not new, and used more commonly than we may realize. Productive Failure takes these ideas and gives them a repeatable structure with quality outcomes — the benefits while navigating pitfalls. Productive Failure moves beyond direct instruction, practice, and conventional hand-holding approaches, to completely immersing learners into a problem, in a more experiential, self-directed approach that leads to deeper understanding. Getting learners to collaborate and stretch their existing abilities to solve a problem, then directing the consolidation process to process the solution towards developing learning agility.
