Gallup's research - the manager alone makes up 70% of the variance in employee engagement

Curious. How are you addressing the fact that all learning is not content?

I would love to dig into approaches employees use to share their knowledge. Some approaches are more scalable than others. How are employees being encouraged to share what they know in scalable ways?

+1 to @Andrew B's question. Overlaid with Org Network Analysis?

And I'd love to hear more about Recognition efforts

How does Microsoft acknowledge the impact their learning mindset has on their work? What are examples?

That was my question... how to measure impact

Any data/experiences re: learning from cross-functional teaming and collaboration at MSFT?

I would love a whole session on using machine learning to parse comments in polls ;)

Do you share knowledge using a tool like stack overflow and do you like it?

Does the data reveal teams that are exemplars? If so, anything that these teams are doing that could be replicated across Microsoft or beyond?

Any adventures to share in working with KM/ICM teams on that data parsing?

Sign me up that next presentation too!

Cuz it's been debunked! ;-)

Right on Erin

With an eye toward developing Peer Coaching bench eventually?

Great book. Great approach

Can you unpack how Dropbox is navigating privacy with the new approaches to coaching?

I also like the provocative stuff in 9 Lies About Work - e.g. lie is people need feedback (spoiler: they say truth is that people need attention.) Learning & Development (the point of feedback, after all) comes from within - from me figuring stuff out for myself because I get to/have to practice it (and have space to fail and consistently practice it) and COACHING has a great place in all of that...

That’s a great book, Erin! :)

Here’s the book for DDO: https://www.amazon.com/Everyone-Culture-Deliberately-Developmental-Organization/dp/B01I8JXD62/

You mentioned concern with scale vs. quality - how do you balance scaling quickly with peer coaching vs. making sure coaches are good at coaching?

@Reese - other favorite that plays into this topic: Brave New Work

I'm curious about challenges/solutions coming up around remote onboarding for new hires

Like the Inside Out Dev folks say... we all have conversations and the opportunities to practice coaching IN conversation vs "coaching conversations"... oppty for all to practice some GROW elements

Thanks Justin!

Thanks Justin!!

Thank you Justin and Chris!

Thanks Justin. Exciting what you’ve built/are building at Drobbox!

Thank you Justin and Chris?

Thanks for sharing, Justin and Chris

@Chris. Where you have engineers teaching engineers, how are you supporting the instructors?

You’re very welcome!

thank you for this presentation! great point on quality. best to take it village-by-village.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I have to drop early. Looking forward to the next one!

yes

@Chris, you have a very small team to support 67K engineers. Who supports your learning experience platform? Who supports your hackathons? Is the learning effort and tools spread out amongst multiple teams?

Thanks folks! Great talks! I have to drop off as well.

Thanks. At ExpediaGroup I have our first cohort finishing up next week in our Instructor Academy. It is a “teacher certification” program where they have to prove their proficiency on the teaching competencies. Cohort 2 will finish later in the summer.

@Chris Does it seem like Microsoft isn’t supportive of learning if your team is only 4 people? Wouldn’t them growing your team show an emphasis on learning?

Sorry I have lots of Chris questions ;)

I can speak a bit about remote onboarding

@jasminer - the hackathons are run by our Garage team, so they help with that

i have a question about how universities can collaborate — either before sending graduates to these companies or later

You have to unmute me

Thanks all

Thank you

I would love a session on org structure and placement of L&D. +1 to Marko
