\"\"Fresh from the CIPD’s annual HRD learning and organisational development conference <\/a>with a bagful of brochures and a pocket-ful of business cards here’s by list of what’s hot and what’s not in the world of training, learning and development and human resources. It’s pretty subjective so don’t take it too seriously:<\/p>\n

Hot<\/strong>– Employee engagement<\/strong> – still a big theme. A\u00a0lot of organisations are realising they are full of human beings –\u00a0shock horror.<\/p>\n

Hot – OD –<\/strong>another big\u00a0 theme, though no-one could tell me what exactly it is without saying “pretty much everything”<\/p>\n

Hot – Blended learning <\/strong>– the two worlds of e and face-to-face learning are coming together. Mobile learning and video were also strongly represented.<\/p>\n

Not – Long\u00a0 words and corporate jargon –<\/strong>the training companies<\/a> employing this just looked so dull.<\/p>\n

Hot- Bite sized learning<\/strong> – for better and for worse<\/p>\n

Hot – Embodied Management Training!<\/strong> My company is not alone, the fabulous looking Companies in Motion<\/a> were present showing their work with physical intelligence. The seminar on body languageand lying was also packed. If you want to learn about this aspect of training come to this.<\/a><\/p>\n

Not – \u00a0NLP<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just seems a bit tired,\u00a0sorry<\/p>\n

Hot – Intuition<\/strong>– being taken seriously at last – Eugene Sadler Smith<\/a> was present<\/p>\n

Not – Coaching<\/strong>– Again something stale has set in with coaching, a shame as I love great coaching, maybe the ratio of average coaches to good ones has just got to high?<\/p>\n

Hot – Social media. <\/strong>Finally L & D gets with the times, though there were plenty there who thought banning all SM at work was a good idea. I attended the HRD’s first “tweet up”\u00a0 – one of the highlights for me actually<\/p>\n

Not – Sweeping judgements about younger people<\/strong> and BS about “generation Y” – reverse agesism\u00a0at\u00a0work as ever in the sector. The quote “”young people have no idea how to manage” – from the Unlimited Potential speaker was a low point for me…naturally I immediately\u00a0tweeted it to complete the cliche<\/p>\n

Hot – Free fruit, oven glove business cards\u00a0and smoothies<\/strong> – way better than sweets and pens!<\/p>\n

Anything else? <\/strong> Please feel free to add your own in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
