  1. How do facilitators work with groups who have had an 'easy win'?

    How do facilitators work with groups who have had an 'easy win'? There were some interesting responses to last month’s blog which considered how to handle a session where your group are unsuccessful at completing the experiential task you have set them. For some people this was accepted as very sound advice, and it seems to have taken away some of the ‘fear of failure’ that was out there. ... Read more...
  2. 3 Strategies to turn experiential task failure into learning

    3 Strategies to turn experiential task failure into learning “But what do I do if they get it wrong?” It’s a question we hear a lot, particularly from facilitators who are just setting out on their transition to including more focused experiential content to their delivery.    My blunt answer is typically “That’s exactly what’s meant to happen and it’s a...

  3. An Experiential Milestone - What Keeps RSVP Design's Learning Tools At The Forefront After 20 Years?

    An Experiential Milestone - What Keeps RSVP Design's Learning Tools At The Forefront After 20 Years? In the last days of September 2023, at a large, elegant Victorian mansion in the Highlands of Scotland, a diverse group of people will come together to celebrate an anniversary. Across a long weekend the discussions they have will inevitably keep returning to the key events that have shaped the 20 years that they have worked together, and above all... Read more...
  4. How to create a hybrid workplace learning culture focused on affective learning

    How to create a hybrid workplace learning culture focused on affective learning I’ve given significant attention in recent postings to the huge importance of ensuring that the content and design-methodology of any event that brings people together to learn is carefully chosen. I’ve given particular attention to the need to avoid anything that could be learned just as well without bringing people together in the ... Read more...
  5. How to maximise the impact of workplace learning interventions

    How to maximise the impact of workplace learning interventions I wrote last month about the resurgence of face-to-face learning interventions after such a long hiatus. The conversations we had at the ATD Exhibition in San Diego were immensely heartening as L+D professionals were not only talking enthusiastically about these events but recognising the importance of using them well, and in many cases this ...

  6. Our learning from ATD23, and why it might signal a mass-adoption of experiential methodologies

    Our learning from ATD23, and why it might signal a mass-adoption of experiential methodologies My last blog was about how the RSVP Design team were heading for the ATD23 Conference in San Diego and what I anticipated the conversations at our booth would be all about. We’re back now after a very successful and sociable conference, and I thought it would be worth continuing the theme by checking whether things went as I anticipated. Did... Read more...
  7. Do the learning tools you use guarantee international learning?

    Do the learning tools you use guarantee international learning? RSVP Design has a team out at the ATD23 Conference in San Diego soon, and we’re getting ready for a lot of good conversations packed into a very short time. A big international conference is always a buzz, meeting customers, distributors, colleagues whom we haven’t seen in so long, and hopefully attracting many new people to our stand. ... Read more...
  8. Do you have the experiential edge to develop self-reliant learners?

     Do you have the experiential edge to develop self-reliant learners? What happens to a group of participants in a learning programme once they’ve gone back to their workplace? Assuming we’re not contracted to engage in structured follow-up this is probably a nagging and persistent question. If the group are in the same organisation as us then it’s relatively easy to find out - perhaps as easy as ... Read more...
  9. How You Can Help Your Leaders Lead

    How You Can Help Your Leaders Lead One decision that faces designers of learning experiences in organisations is how to integrate and include the leaders of the groups involved. Do I ignore the workplace hierarchy and simply integrate the leaders into the experience? Do I mirror the workplace and have the leaders continue in that role during the activity? Do I create a special place... Read more...
  10. How to Plan The Most Effective Start To Your 2023 Training Programmes

    How to Plan The Most Effective Start To Your 2023 Training Programmes When I wrote the last posting for 2022 I suggested that, when it comes to designing learning programmes ‘It’s all about the endings’. Now we’re into 2023 I’m going to recognise that there’s a whole new year ahead of us and we need to accept that, while it’s got huge potential for reward, it also needs some ... Read more...
