MOST COMMON CHALLENGES FACING LEADERS
The Workplace Landscape
The workplace is changing with new demographics, skills gaps, diverse cultures and generations, technology integrations, global pressures, and increasing regulations.
Leaders face challenges both internally with employees and externally in the marketplace. As Brendon Burchard once said, “Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us”. At edOpp, we can help you navigate the differences in those challenges to keep your organization moving forward to success.

“A workplace is understood to include the physical location, shared meanings, ideas, behaviors and attitudes which
determine the working environment and relationships.”
“Workplace learning [is] the processes and outcomes of learning
[for] a sustained and high leverage development of employees in line with organizational business outcomes”. It is necessary for
individual and organizational growth and development. “It is also
primary to the way in which people construct meaning in their personal and shared organizational lives.” Organizations have a tremendous responsibility to help employees construct meaning in all aspects of their lives.
“Workplace learning involves the process of reasoned learning towards desirable outcomes for the individual and the organization. These outcomes
should foster the sustained development of both the individual and
the organization, within the present and future context of
organizational goals and individual career development.
“The move for improved workplace learning needs to be coupled with the
development of a positive attitude to lifelong learning.”
If organizations are seriously “interested in developing the true capacity of its
people”, they must examine closely their existing activities affecting purpose, people, processes, and performance to determine whether they are
supporting or inhibiting workplace learning.
“For workplace learning to achieve its stated objectives, certain
learning opportunities, conditions, and features need to be evident within the workplace.”
Matthews, P. (1999). “Workplace learning: Developing an holistic model”, The Learning Organization, Vol. 6 No. , pp. 18-29.

Active Learning vs. Passive Learning
Unfortunately, traditional training is typically facilitated without meaning and without consideration for the employees resulting in a more passive and one-time event of learning. Our priority is to simulate active learning that is continuous rather than static. We believe the true strength of the corporate classroom lies in the collaboration of learners not in the knowledge of the expert. To engage employees in the learning experience, we adopt a more learner-centered approach rather than being trainer-focused.
DESIGNING THE EXPERIENCES
How do we ensure your employees are actually engaged in the learning experience?
We Transform Employees Into Learners!
Active Learning
• Learner-Centered
• Values the participant
• Personalized and meaningful
• Emphasis on the WHY
• Focused on outcomes
Passive Learning
• Trainer-Focused
• Emphasis on agenda
• One-way flow of infromation
• Emphasis on the WHAT
• Focused on objectives
