Making
innovations
stick
One of the watchwords of
learning and development
has been the constant
efforts of training teams
to innovate – to come up
with new ways for people
to learn. Whether it’s
using technology or a high
impact training exercise,
the drive is on to innovate,

A
s the award season is upon us and
L&D departments will be dusting
off the black cocktail dresses and
the slightly tighter-than-they-were-last-
year dinner jackets, innovation is featuring
highly. What did we do in the last 12
months that potentially changes the face
of learning and development forever?
I have to say that 2007 was not a bumper
year for innovations. I long for something
which is truly different, truly exciting and
something that I look at and think “ I wish
I’d thought of that!” The other thing I
long for is an innovation that really sticks
– one that you can see has great potential,
really delivers results and one to which the
organisation is clearly committed.
There are, it seems, three types of
innovation currently in vogue in the learning
world. Number one is the technology
innovation, which generally tries to increase
access to learning or reduce time and cost
or make something that sort of happens
anyway more convenient, slicker and
exciting. I have seen innovations in the
