* First MASIE Learning Fellowship Awarded: We are honored to announce our first MASIE Learning Fellowship, supporting the research projects of learning professionals pursuing advanced degrees. Starting in July, Carey Bradshaw (no, not the TV character) will join our team in Saratoga Springs, NY for two months. Her research will focus on developing and managing multi-generational groups in an organizational setting. Her fellowship will include working with the Learning CONSORTIUM to develop a template for dealing with this challenge in the workplace. An additional assignment includes exploring the impact of kiosk use on adult learning.
Carey Bradshaw is currently pursuing her MA in Adult Learning and Organizational Leadership at Teachers College, Columbia University. She has worked for the HR and Learning areas, including projects with Goldman Sachs, for the past 2 years. We are very excited to welcome Carey and we will have additional Learning Fellowship residencies each semester. For information, please contact ria@masie.com
* Technology Competencies for Learning Leaders Results: Last week, we conducted a “flash survey” on the Technology Competencies for Learning Leaders (eg. CLOs). This was part of my work as academic director at the Wharton/UPenn CLO Program. Over 930 colleagues from organizations around the world responded. Here are results, including the percentage of respondents that selected them as their top 8 competencies:
1. Integrates learning, talent and IT strategies with business strategy (87%)
2. Leads key decisions about learning and technology for the enterprise (85%)
3. Assesses organizational readiness and need for talent/learning software (73%)
4. Collaborates with the Chief Information Officer (CIO) effectively (68%)
5. Effectively scouts for new and emerging technology trends and discerns hype from business value (61%)
6. Leverages collaborative technology to increase organizational capability (59%)
7. Displays fluency in techniques/models of technical process and change (46%)
