Charles Jennings has one of the world's more interesting jobs. He is global head of learning for Reuters, the 150-year-old London-based news agency and information service. His job is to ensure that all of the company's 16,000 employees keep abreast of their jobs and the technologies and systems that ensure Reuters remains one of the world's foremost sources of information and one of the largest providers of content to the internet. Every day Reuters publishes 8 million words in 18 languages.
In Charles' view a simple transfer of knowledge is no longer appropriate for people working in 21st century organisations. We need to know less and learn more. We need to change our approach to learning. The new world challenges not only the dominant knowledge-transfer model of training, but also many of the traditional organisational training structures.
In the face of the digital onslaught, Charles believes that we need to re-visit some of our fundamental approaches to learning, to develop new learning strategies and operations that are more accountable, better prioritised, capable of adapting to change, and which make good use of technology.
Formal learning is also often not suited to "digital natives", the new generation in the workforce. When they started high school the web already existed. By the time they finished university they had seen the rise of Google, blogs, Wikipedia, Skype, podcasts, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Second Life and many other communication and learning tools.
Charles will discuss the challenges and opportunities that face us in catering for these new entrants into the workforce.
