In November 2017 GoodPractice launched their third piece of research about what managers think and do. This piece of research specifically focused on the perceptions about technology from those managers, that their organisations provide them with for learning.
This post has some comments and links to resources for a one stop shop on the research.
Audio interview
I spoke to GoodPractice Managing Director, Owen Ferguson, ahead of the report being published.
You can listen to the more in-depth Training Journal podcast interviews part one and part two.
Articles
I was very lucky to get a pre-release copy of the report, and another chat with Owen, before the launch in London. From that I wrote a couple of online features about the results.
From GoodPractice
Obviously getting information about this report from the people that did the research is the best thing! So, here are a few resources:
A blog from Stef Scott, report co-author.
Stef looks at five myths on learning technologies and debunks them, based on data from the report.
The original report can be downloaded as a PDF from the GoodPractice website.
At the launch of the report, GoodPractice recorded an episode of their brilliant podcast, live, with the audience interaction. It was great fun to be there (and I asked a question towards the end too) and brave of the guys to do.
The #GPWMRT hashtag has had all sorts of infromation and sharing. Here’s a scatter of top tweets, including my own from the @TrainingJournal account:
Research caveats: its about what managers THINK, not how good it really is, nor what non-managers think #gpwmrt pic.twitter.com/OQz47K6deD

Oh my goodness!! Managers don't think elearning is rubbish. Really? How can they not have higher ambition for better quality learning!? Things just got REALLY interesting #gpwmrt pic.twitter.com/eI8oPFEQud

Managers have a preference for face-to-face training courses. E-learning is not that far behind! #gpwmrt @GoodPractice

LMS, perf support tools, virtual classrooms, mobile apps and online groups are suffering from a bit of an enthusiasm gap from managers @GoodPractice #gpwmrt

They definitely are… So many people have experienced something implemented or facilitated badly, so it won't be useful. In L&D we need to focus on doing things well early on #gpwmrt https://t.co/b4bdwSmKZM

We need to make it easy for managers to try out new technologies says @owenferguson #gpwmrt

Role for L&D to cross the tech adoption chasm so that managers can understand the value learning tech can bring in terms of performance and achieving real work goals #GPWMRT
