Escape the Lonely Event: Building Continuity and Context into Learning Design

APRIL 19, 2023

7 am PT | 10 am ET | 3 pm BST

engage-live-logo

Live synchronous learning events take place in physical and digital environments that are different from the performance environment (which eliminates much of the cognitive scaffolding for learning). They take place in a social context that’s different from the learner’s work context (putting an enormous responsibility on the individual to “be the change”). And they are typically isolated events (forgetting that humans need repetition). 

It’s time to break it out of its lonely existence and build it into an integrated, work-oriented, learning journey!

Join us on Wednesday, April 19th for a one-of-a-kind virtual learning experience, led by Simon Fowler Co-founder of ReStroma Consulting.

Unlocking the Myths of AI and Data Intelligence

Data and AI are introducing new ways to create insights and solve problems. From all the buzz of ChatGPT and Deepfakes now, to the advent of radio, calculators and the internet itself years before. 

Technology drives innovation - but it’s the people who apply this technology to create real change for real people. To decrease burnouts, to fight crime, to feed our world better - and to help save lives. 

Join us for an interactive EngageLIVE session featuring Marijn Markus, Managing Data Scientist, social scientist at Capgemini, along with Talia Kolodny, Director of Partnerships, EMEA at Engageli. Marijn will share examples from his groundbreaking work on data-driven decision making and help us explore the potential of AI and robots in fields like education and workplace learning.

We’re honored to feature three experts on this very topic: Rebecca M. Quintana, PhD, Associate Director, Learning Experience Design, Center for Academic Innovation at the University of Michigan, Stephanie Moore Assistant Professor, Organization, Information and Learning Sciences at The University New Mexico, and Andreina Parisi-Amon, PhD, VP of Learning and Teaching at Engageli.

Sensemaking in Executive Education:
Preparing Business Leaders for the “Unknown”

OCTOBER 20, 2022 

11:00 AM EDT | 4:00 PM BST | 5:00 PM CEST

engage-live-logo

In an ever changing, complex world and business landscape, how do Executive Education professionals enable business leaders to prepare, transform and thrive? “Sensemaking", a term introduced by Karl Weick, refers to how we structure the unknown so as to be able to act in it. Sensemaking involves coming up with a plausible understanding—a map—of a shifting world; testing this map with others through data collection, action, and conversation; and then refining, or abandoning, the map depending on how credible it is. Sensemaking enables leaders to have a better grasp of what is going on in their environments, thus facilitating other leadership activities such as visioning, relating, and inventing.”

Overcoming the Fear of the Unknown
in Corporate Learning & Development

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 | 10:00 AM ET

engage-live-logo

According to the Oxford dictionary, an ecosystem is defined as a complex network or an interconnected system. For a learning and development ecosystem to function, it needs to take into consideration the people, including the employees, facilitators, and trainers, company culture, training content, learning technology, approach and strategy, outcomes, as well as program governance. All of these components interact in complex ways to shape learning, both formal and informal. As the work environment shifts into permanent remote and hybrid settings, effective learning and development ecosystems are critical to developing people, especially when diversity and personalization are paramount.
