Ever since Josh Bersin first published his research on the half-life of different approaches to learning, the profession has struggled to replace formal training (slow, expensive, outdated before it's ready) with a more flexible, agile, fast approach to learning. Today we hear a lot about providing learning "in the flow of work" (more Bersin insights!), yet often see the same formal content, just broken up into tiny chunks. What we've needed is a way to stop thinking like learning professionals and start thinking like people with work problems to solve.

Juliana Stamcampiano and her team at Oxygen have cracked the code. Radical Outcomes scrupulously avoids training-speak in favor of work-speak, showing the process of creating powerful content through the lens of a step-by-step approach to business-centered problem definition, business-centered fact gathering, and business-centered distillation of what employees actually need to master so their companies thrive.

“All too often, strategies designed to make companies fit for the future are implemented in the wrong way. Progress toward intended business outcomes aren’t being measured and key front-line staff are being overloaded with more information than they can handle. But by designing great business architecture, sharing new knowledge gradually and embracing imperfection, you can achieve better outcomes for your organization and a better experience for your customers. 
Actionable advice:
If you don’t know the right answer, share the wrong one instead. 
Next time you’re in a team meeting, and someone throws a tricky question out to the group, don’t be afraid to say out loud that you don’t know the answer, or to suggest an answer even when you know it’s the wrong one. Although this might sound counterproductive, highlighting your own lack of knowledge or taking a wild guess can embolden others around the table to make their own suggestions. Before long, you might just have group-solved your way to the right answer. This is definitely better than everyone sitting in awkward silence, afraid to make a mistake.”
