Recently, Go1's Dan Fish, Director of Strategy & Partnerships, attended the Microsoft Future Now conference at Carriage Works in Sydney. 

Here, Dan shares a couple of quick highlights from the event.

Excerpt from Dan Fish's article in Medium

"Speaking at the conference was a fantastic selection of Microsoft heavy weights and guests. Kicking off proceedings was Microsoft Australia Managing Director Steven Worrall. He spoke passionately about “people first, technology second” and paid a heartfelt tribute to two Microsoft Partner representatives who lost their lives in the terrible Christchurch terrorist attack. 

Following Steven was Brad Smith, Global President for Microsoft, who passed on great insight and thinking from within the business over the last 2 decades. Closing proceedings was an experienced panel of speakers providing real insight around how to win the battle for talent in today’s ever evolving society. The panel was chaired by Narelle Hooper (Editor of Company Director) and included Chuck Edward (Corporate VP, Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Microsoft) and Sara Caplan (PwC Australia’s National Skills Lead and CEO of PwC’s Skills for Australia).

Now onto a couple of the highlights from the Future Now conference itself..."

Amy Wheldon is a Customer Success Manager in Go1’s US Operations team. Read her insights into the importance of embracing future technologies after attending the recent Learnapalooza event in Seattle. 

I recently attended an exciting Learnapalooza event that was held in Seattle on March 28th. 

Hosted by HackingHR and Learnapalooza, the event brought together a panel of experts in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, data analytics, HR recruitment and more.

Go1’s Caroline Brant, Global Learning Strategist, was part of the panel for the Upskilling Yourself: Future Technologies Panel & Resume Hacking Workshop. 

The conversation was centered around dispelling the false sense that artificial intelligence, learning automation and ed tech are something for the future. Automation and artificial intelligence are fast becoming an integral part of operations at most large corporations. 

Over 40% of large corporations are already using automation for training and HR. The ever-widening gap between companies that embrace automation, and those that don’t, will grow as learning automation and artificial intelligence are more commonly adopted according to the HR Exchange. 

HR needs to move as fast as other departments to embrace the future and adopt new technologies. This is not hard and if it is, it shouldn’t be. Technology exists today to allow us to do this. Automation and upskilling is not just the future – it is today! 

If you haven’t invested in modern learning tools you risk lower retention, skill gaps, lower productivity and employee dissatisfaction.  

As Caroline said during the panel discussion, “We need to be able to deliver the right content, at the right moment, to today’s workforce so they can solve the immediate challenge they are facing.”

It was great to hear from all the panellists on the day and to see the passion from everyone involved in this dynamic industry. It’s certainly an exciting time for L&D!

Learn to accomplish more by managing your time, attention, and energy. 

"Why should we invest in our productivity?" is the first question Chris Bailey asks when you begin the course, perfectly setting the scene for this month's theme of productivity. 

The Productive Life course, created by Creative Live, is hosted by Chris Bailey, author of “The Productivity Project.” Chris spent a year of his life conducting productivity experiments on himself in order to discover the secrets to living the most productive life possible, which he shares through this week's course. 

Since finding more hours isn’t an option, we search for ways to be more productive—to better use our limited time to not only complete our required tasks but also accomplish our loftier goals. Through this course Bailey shares his most insightful lessons on how to work deliberately rather than reactively, manage your energy better, avoid excessive procrastination and have more time to do what you find meaningful in life.

The Productive Life is one of Go1's longer courses, at 3 hrs 15 mins. It is broken down into 17 video lessons covering topics in Wellness, Communication, Self-improvement and Time Management. 

Shrink or eliminate the unimportant from your life.

Focus on your highest-leverage tasks that give you the greatest return.

Distract yourself from inevitable distractions.

Use a healthy diet, sleep and exercise to be more productive.

Form good habits so your productivity is automatic.

Motivate yourself by understanding why you want to get something done.

We highly recommend you check out Creative Live content. They are a new addition to Go1 Premium and have a breadth of content topics available!

Here at Go1, we work to bring you the best training content in the market. That’s why we partner with innovative content providers like Filtered - the world’s leading adaptive learning solution for business.

Learn more about how Filtered is using artificial intelligence (AI) to transform eLearning below!

Filtered is a London-based content provider that uses adaptive algorithms driven by real user data to create personalised online training courses. Each full course includes over two hours of content that is broken down into hundreds of bite-sized five to ten minute modules; however, the actual course length varies depending on the individual learner. 

At the beginning of each course, the user completes a survey that assesses a variety of factors, including their learning history. Filtered’s algorithms then use these survey responses to tailor the course to the user’s needs, stripping out the modules that they already know and those that are not relevant to their role.

Filtered has partnered with Go1 to offer a variety of courses on IT and business skills in Go1 Premium. Training topics include:
