Scale Leadership Growth Across Your Organization: The Latest Updates from Harvard ManageMentor
//
Building skills for the future
The accelerating pace of change we’ve been experiencing has resulted in an unprecedented demand for learning. Organizations need a workforce that can rapidly and continually acquire new skills. They’re looking to develop talent for the future, and they need to make sure that their workforce has access to learning experiences that are engaging, intuitive, and actionable – so they are able to develop the required skills.
Another critical element of today’s learning dynamic is that it must get results and drive impact across the organization. L&D can only drive impact if they can rapidly cascade new strategies for learning, making sure that everyone who wants and needs to acquire new skills has the ability to do so.
It’s within this context that we’re excited to announce the latest updates to Harvard ManageMentor.
Learners spoke, and we listened
We spend a good deal of time listening to learners who use Harvard ManageMentor, and to the L&D professionals who work with them. Time and again, we hear that the most important factors are learning that engages the employee through an intuitive, easy to use, user interface. And, learners want their learning to have meaning, so that they can apply it in the roles – or in their life – to further their careers. These elements have been the focus on our latest Harvard ManageMentor release.
Designed with learners in mind
With the new release, we take special pride in the exciting new design. Our team partnered with illustrators whose distinct, engaging styles convey a sense of storytelling. The illustrators we worked with came from across the globe: the US, Spain, South Africa, Georgia, and Malta — to ensure that course content is interpreted through diverse perspectives, inspiring unique and highly relatable user design that makes learning more engaging.
Engaging
We’ve created an intuitive, engaging, and actionable design, starting with the learner’s home page, personalized for each learner. The home page summarizes the learners’ achievements, tracks how many courses and lessons have been completed, and indicates how many badges have been earned. Learners can pick up where they left off – or are given a gentle nudge on where they should go next – encouraging their continual learning.
Easy-to-Use and Easy-to-Navigate
To help make learning easy and intuitive, each course now has a lesson navigation menu that is persistent on the page while learners engage with the lesson. This enables learners to easily navigate through the learning experience with step-by-step navigation within lessons and between lessons.
Actionable Learning
To increase engagement and interactivity and reinforce actionable learning concepts, each course integrates the concepts of learning, practice and reflection so learners can see how the concepts can be applied. A new global courses page organizes all courses into a single, easy to find and navigate location, and showcases the courses trending in an organization. And learners can easily filter the courses to show those that map to the core capabilities their organization has chosen.
Ongoing changes to Harvard ManageMentor represent our commitment to continuous learning and continuous improvement on our own part – a commitment that mirrors the need for an organization’s learners to continuously grow their skills to adapt to the future.
And there’s even more to come
Over the summer, we’ll be rolling out many other new features, including updates to the timely and timeless content that has always been at the heart of Harvard ManageMentor. Our content is continually refreshed to make sure that it reflects today’s most important leadership and management topics, and the latest thinking on these topics.
Few things are more timeless than having leaders with a solid understanding of how their organization works. To this end, we’re introducing a course on Sharpening Business Acumen. And, in light of the fierce competition for talent and The Great Resignation, our new Attracting and Cultivating Talent course could not be timelier.
