- 15. 1. Work With the Business • Consult with the business • Involve them in design • Root the learning in real business challenges • Create realistic scenarios
- 16. “Be a consultant: get really close to the beating heart of your business.” “Walk in the shoes of your business people. Don’t stay on the outside.” “Make learning real and as authentic as possible.”
- 18. 2. Embed Learning in the Workflow Make learning content more resource driven, shorter, more focused, supportive and performance related. “We made the information shorter, sharper and easier to access on a just-in-time basis.” “When the competition is about the speed of product to market then we need to take the trainer out of the way.”

- 29. Many Examples “I find out more from Yammer than any other communication channel in our business” “Stores have really embraced it – section managers love it, people get back much more quickly e.g. anyone got a fault with a zip on this jacket, yes this is how you fix it.” “People respond much quicker on Yammer. No way you’d get that response on email.”

- 34. Endorse, accredit and qualify “You cannot underestimate the value that bringing in qualifications brings. There are many spin offs in terms of learning benefits and the motivation it gives to staff.”
- 36. 10. Innovate “Be nimble and agile and focus on new ideas.” “Adopt a prototyping approach – test out new design approaches very quickly, get end user feedback”
- 37. MOOC Marks & Spencer and University of Leeds Free business innovation course that uses case studies from M&S’ 130 year history, as well as examples of best practice from the University of Leeds
