In order to best position itself to play a leading role, HR will need to familiarize itself with concepts such as design thinking

KeyTopics:

• Design thinking means creating an end-to-end experience that meets or exceeds the expectations of the people you serve.
• The core of design thinking is empathy – walking in the shoes of your target audience and understanding what that means. For HR, that involves getting to understand employees’ aspirations, what their work experiences are like and how they can be made better
• Empathy and building a culture in which employees demand to learn new skills rather than being pushed to learn them
• Why HR must replace traditional LMS with “learning goals” i.e. employees have a primary skill and a secondary one which they choose from a skills index
• Getting a learning culture to take hold by addressing employees’ fears: fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of being judged and measuring up
