Cohort-Based Learning Techniques to Drive Collaboration
Date: 25 July 2024
Time: 9am – 5pm(GMT +8)
Location: Singapore
Overview
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the pandemic and the rise of Generative AI have increased the pressure on employees to adapt quickly to new skills, power skills, and behaviors and ways of working.
This is creating an increasing pressure on L&D to offer innovative learning experiences that meet the demands for speed, agility, and real-world application of the employees.
Collaborative learning experiences, such as Cohort-Based Learning (CBL), can significantly speed up this process. In CBL, learners work together as a cohort, share, and learn from each other, and rely on a community to seek pointers to their specific challenges. Learning in this way rapidly expands learners’ horizons, options, and contextual understanding.
L&D can enhance the impact of learning goals across a range of areas, such as leadership, DE&I, Change Management, Onboarding and enhancing Functional trainings. L&D can leverage both the self-paced elements and the unique live, community-led, collaborative experiences of CBL to guide a diverse cohort along specific career paths or towards targeted learning outcomes.
