Listen, to learn from Sam Herring, CEO & Co-Founder of Seattle-based ed tech leader Intrepid by VitalSource on how researching the individual stories of Wild West characters shaped a vision for educational tech achievement; why there really won’t be a Dr Evil with a pinkie in his mouth controlling the Learning software market; where the $40 billion that got invested in ed tech these past 20 years really went; why not a lot of the ‘thousand ed tech’ flower start-ups will ever probably bloom; why setting up a content library really isn’t all you gotta do to become a good CLO; why small-bore thinking sucks; and finally, wow, platform/services, LMS/LXP… is that still the right question if we drop a recession on it all?

Why I Love The People Who Don't Finish Our Program

‘Learning Is the New Working’ is a new podcast from Chris Pirie, ex-Microsoft Chief Learning Officer and now independent investigator of The Future of Workplace Learning. A set of stimulating conversations with some of the leading thinkers and edge practitioners in the modern Workplace Learning space, from Chief Learning Officers  to Learning Experience Designers, from Neuroscientists  to Technologists, vendors of Learning Tech, and the HR leaders charged with developing human capital potential.  Our topics are everything from the American skills crisis to our scary, but fascinating, century: how the rise of the robots, AI, employment and demographic change are re-shaping all our lives - in work and out of it. We will also explore how the process of Learning is itself changing with current and emerging technology, share war stories about which new ways of delivering Learning work, what Sales Enablement is versus what it could be, what a ‘Learning Science’ might offer… all with the ultimate aim of empowering the CLO.
