Epic Announces "LearningNow"
London (UK), March 2013 - Epic and Towards Maturity have teamed up to host the first in a series of three "LearningNow" events. Each free session will invite attendees to explore and tackle key L&D issues of the day during an interactive and practical workshop. These events offer participants the opportunity to connect, contribute, and learn by aligning benchmark findings, workplace processes, and best practice. The first of the three, "Why won't they comply?", takes place 01 May in London.
It's no secret that compliance training has a poor reputation. In 2012, 87 percent of the organisations investing in learning technologies were looking to improve compliance, but only 53 percent felt they were successful (according the 2012 Towards Maturity Benchmark Study). "Why won't they comply?" will offer participants the opportunity to share their common frustrations and come away with ideas and solutions to inject new life into compliance training.
Facilitated by Laura Overton, Managing Director of Towards Maturity, attendees will participate in interactive discussions that examine the real issues faced when developing compliance content, before gaining practical insight on how to employ learning technologies to reinvigorate compliance training.
"'LearningNow: Why won't they comply?' will address one of the toughest challenges facing the eLearning community - implementing mandatory learning so that it makes a real difference to business performance," said Laura Overton.
By the end of the session, attendees will learn how to transform compliance training from a "ticking-the-box" exercise to content that will inspire behaviour change.
"We are thrilled to be working with Epic, who are one of our founding ambassadors on the LearningNow workshop series. As a benchmarking practice, we are keen to help others uncover good ideas and apply them in their own organisation," said Overton. "LearningNow will provide a great way for learning professionals to learn together and develop practical solutions for today's challenges."
"Why won't they comply?" takes place 01 May from 9:00 to 14:00 at One Drummond Gate, Victoria, London. It's free to attend, but places are limited.
