I've been chatting with Nick Cowley of the Oxford Group about front-line managers. Those all important team managers that can make or break employee morale, productivity and retention, as well as your bottom line. We explore why they need a bit of development and support, but how it has to be the right kind to really work.
As someone who went from being designer to team manager, and experienced a little bit of drowning alongside some doggie paddling as I faced multiple new challenges at once, practical and blended training helped me.

Recent learning trend reports tell of a move from push models of learning to a pull model. But what does that actually mean?

Changing people's behaviours and forming new habits is not easy. Even with an amazing, motivating, inspiring learning intervention, old habits can creep back and noble intentions to change be forgotten. Alas, do we give up? No. Instead, go for a campaign approach to beat the forgetting curve, take learning deeper, and form new habits.
I always look forward to reading Kineo’s annual Learning Insights report .
