Cisco’s Innovate Everywhere Challenge Ignites Entrepreneurial Culture In the past few years, the mass digitization of business and society has pressured every organization, including Cisco, to innovate at unprecedented speed. Alex Goryachev, Cisco’s director of Innovation Strategy and Programs, and a core team of five people, were the catalysts of the Innovate Everywhere Challenge, Cisco’s first innovation engagement company-wide. This program encouraged all 72,000+ employees in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia to “team up, disrupt, and innovate.” The overarching purpose of the Challenge was to help ignite a culture of innovation across the entire company where employees learn to think and act more like entrepreneurs in a startup.

The Human Touch on Technology
On January 24, the day of Brandon Hall Group’s Human Capital Management Academy workshop on HCM Measurement and Analytics, Cliff Stevenson ended the seven-hour session with a quick speech on the importance of taking full advantage of skills that are unique to humans (as opposed to machines/software). Empathy, critical thinking, and relationship building may have seemed out of place in a discussion about analytics, but it points to a larger trend toward where organizations see their needs: in the employee experience.
Learning About Learning – Live and In-Person
For all the time David Wentworth spends researching and discussing emerging and cutting edge learning technologies and modalities, he is a champion of the in-person event. He recently returned from Brandon Hall Group’s Excellence Conference 2017 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He then followed that up immediately with a few days in San Diego attending Training 2017. He finds all of these experiences carry value.

Learning is Changing (For Real This Time)
You may not have heard, but learning is changing, says Principal Learning Analyst David Wentworth. Glibness aside, there really is something different going on.
