Forum's Principles of Learning

First published by The Forum Corporation in 1978, The Principles of Adult Learning broke ground in the learning industry. The Principles have served as the foundation of many organizational learning designs. Flashing forward to today, the sheer volume of information and speed with which that information is applied to gain competitive advantage would boggle the mind of a time traveler from 1978. But those changes are only a glimmer of things to come as generations and cultures collide, more work is done virtually, and complexities in the global economy ripple through our organizations and home towns. How exactly does the Learning and Development industry leap into this brave new world? How can leaders prepare themselves for these workforce shifts while simultaneously attaining business objectives? And, last but not least, how has learning changed since 1978? Based on deep research into 21st century workplace learning, the authors answer-in specific step-by-step detail-these questions. A recognized leader in the learning industry, The Forum Corporation "pulls back the curtain" to reveal not only their research data and case studies, but many of the practices they use with clients to help them cohesively integrate learning into everyday work, and drive business results through learning.With such robust data, strategies, and tools, Forum's Principles of Learning: A Guidebook for Advancing Performance in Today's Workplace is an indispensible tool for L&D and line leaders alike.
