    1. Practicing Before the Pressure: Building Negotiation Skills that Stick

      The literature of Leadership Development has many advocates for an approach characterised as ‘learning on the job’. Strong voices that tell us that the best way for leaders to hone their skills is through the visceral, first-hand practice of leadership itself. I’ve got some sympathy for this viewpoint, there are some parts of leadership ...

    2. Are you developing teams beyond a culture of blame?

      Are you developing teams beyond a culture of blame?
      Even a cursory browse through the huge volume of literature about great teams will reveal that there's an understandable interest in how they just seem to 'get it right'. There often follows a prescription to help other teams follow that path to success. We read about aligning individual contribution, solution-focused communication, building a team...

    3. Do you focus on what you’ve learned, rather than what you’ve achieved?

      Do you focus on what you’ve learned, rather than what you’ve achieved?
      I was challenged by a friend recently; she was making the point that we routinely ask clients to represent the complexities of situation or organisation in a way that reduces them to banal simplicity. What she asked me to do was to capture my life as it is today in a single representational diagram. I made several starts, only to abandon an attempt...

      DON'T invest in learning (invest in behaviour-change instead)
      I know I've written about this before, but it's important and it keeps coming up in conversations I have with L+D people so I feel it would be timely to ask a few questions about how learning in organisations is understood. As you'll know I'm a specialist in experiential approaches to learning, so I'm going to look at the subject from that ...

    5. Training Awards and the Importance of Engagement

      Training Awards and the Importance of Engagement
      Being recognised within the Learning and Development industry to the extent that we are made recipients of specific awards always fills me with curiosity. Why us? Why now? Why this particular award? Don't get me wrong, it's a curiosity that stems from great pride in what we do, but simply accepting any award without asking questions risks ...

    6. How Could Experiential Learning Shape the Future of Leadership Development?

      How Could Experiential Learning Shape the Future of Leadership Development?
      Here at RSVP Design, we're always keen to read and discuss any survey that comes from our colleagues at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). The latest focus of our attention is 'The Top 20 Leadership Challenges'  published in July 2024.   RSVP Design learning tools are designed to be versatile, and many of our customers worldwide ...

    7. Experiential learning - What is the key to getting learners back into the classroom?

      Experiential learning - What is the key to getting learners back into the classroom?
      The RSVP Design team enjoyed a great few days at the ATD in New Orleans in May, meeting L+D professionals from across the world. As ever it was an opportunity to take the pulse of the training industry and listen to the cares, concerns and hopes of the people responsible for the workforce development needs of millions of people. ATD is where we ...

    8. Who Is Self-Directed Learning Really For?

      Who Is Self-Directed Learning Really For?
      There's an interesting buzz around the world of learning right now, a returning interest that makes me both excited and concerned. The idea of self-directed learning seems to be becoming a prominent and popular theme once again, allowing adults in our organisations to take the initiative and responsibility for their own learning. My excitement ...

    9. Are you translating your Training Needs Analysis into effective experiential learning?

      Are you translating your Training Needs Analysis into effective experiential learning?
      We often encounter clients who conduct a 'conventional' Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and then struggle to convert the results to the design of an experientially based programme of learning. A combination of line manager / peer observation, survey and strategic considerations should reveal a pretty comprehensive representation of individual ...

    10. What's the right setting for delivering Experiential Learning content?

      What's the right setting for delivering Experiential Learning content?
      In the blog I wrote last month I tried to address some of the assumptions about experiential learning that seem to be getting in the way of people including elements of this approach in their programming. It seems that the most pervasive of these assumptions is about the physical spaces that are needed to deliver effective experiential content. To ...
