March 16, 2016 − RAW Technology Ltd, a company providing spill response, remediation and specialist environmental services, is seeing a number of benefits from using the Create E-learning learning management system (LMS). “We’ve noticed an immediate and appreciable reduction in our training-related travel and subsistence costs,” said Justin Price, a health & safety advisor whose responsibilities include delivering in-house training courses for RAW, as well as acting as learning system administrator, since making learning materials available via the LMS. “Moreover, we can now keep a closer eye the learning activities of each of our 130 or so staff. So, for example, we are able to see who has not commenced the training courses, which allows us to follow up with them, who is currently undertaking each module and who has completed what training program, all in real time – and that’s important, not least from a compliance and regulatory standpoint.”
“We’re finding that the system itself is extremely user-friendly – and already we’re seeing opportunities for increasing the system’s scope and contents,” said Price. Price and his colleagues carried out extensive research into the LMSs available before settling on the LMS from Create E-learning. “The Create E-learning platform is highly flexible, catering excellently for our existing training programs and learning materials,” Price explained. “It provides exactly what we want from an LMS – and gives us a much easier way to track the usage of the learning materials,” he said. “The course administration is a great deal easier, and produces more valuable user data, than the old Excel-driven system.” Create E-learning’s LMS is a hybrid platform that caters for coaching, mentoring, online and face-to-face training/ learning. Moreover, users can configure it to deliver learning materials anywhere in the world, in any language and on any delivery device.

Pearson Announces Key Findings of the 2016 Trends in Executive Development Survey
New York, NY − March 22, 2016 – Pearson announced the results of the “2016 Trends in Executive Development: A Benchmark Report” biennial survey of leaders from 466 of the world’s most notable organizations across the globe. The 2016 Trends Report, which is used by organizations to benchmark their own executive development practices, shows that the shifting markets and impact of technology are pushing executives to learn new skills and make changes in their approach. In 2014, the trends showed that the ability to create a compelling vision and engage others around it was the most important capability needed for next generation leaders. That remains true in 2016. While the need for leadership remained steady, the new results indicate a slight shift in how leaders approach challenges with a new emphasis on cognitive readiness and a continued emphasis on critical thinking.
“While critical thinking has remained a key focus for leadership development, the fact that cognitive readiness has also emerged as a top area for development clearly reflects the changing world that organizations are operating in,” said Karen Chiang, vice president, emerging markets, Talent Assessment at Pearson. “It’s the ability to apply strategic thinking, decision making, creativity and problem solving in ever-changing complex situations that distinguishes leadership. The challenge for organizations is how to instill these skills into all levels of the organization; starting from the recruitment stage of entry level employees through to senior management.”
The survey findings also revealed the most lacking competencies of emerging leaders. Specifically, 28.8 percent of respondents believe the ability to attract, hire, and retain talent is a significant skills gap for emerging leaders. In addition, the results show that employees want leaders who can envision a positive future state for the organization and then engage and inspire the workforce.
In order to track the growth and evolution of executive education and development trends, Pearson TalentLens and Executive Development Associates, Inc. have conducted this research every two to four years since 1983. The survey is the product of collaboration between Pearson TalentLens, Executive Development Associates (EDA), and Performance Assessment Network (PAN).
Pearson TalentLens publishes scientific assessments that are used globally to hire and develop the 21st century workforce. These instruments measure critical thinking, problem solving, and a range of job skills to deliver data-driven insights that inform and clarify an organization’s human capital decisions.

The Center for Leadership Studies and Training Industry, Inc. Releases New Leadership Report on the Bases of Power Across Employee Generations
Raleigh, NC – March 24, 2016 – Training Industry, Inc. and The Center for Leadership Studies have released a new research report investigating the roles of management and peers in influencing behavior, and the nature of interpersonal interactions and values at work.
The study, which included 479 companies, reveals several key findings, including:
73 percent of employees rated the leadership development programs provided to their managers/direct supervisors as effective
Millennials tend to have a more positive perception of leadership development quality (36%) than Generation X (29%) and boomers (24%)
Across generations, referent, expert, and legitimate power emerged as three of the most important bases of power used by leaders to influence workplace behavior
The full report, “Influenced by Others: Bases of Power Across Generations” can be downloaded here.
“This study provides a better understanding of why followers respond to both leaders and each,” said Tom Whelan, Ph.D., director of corporate research, Training Industry, Inc. “One of the most intriguing parts of this research was the balanced sampling design across generations of employees, which permitted insights into where the differences in how influence functions do and don’t exist when considering employees of all ages.”
Ken Taylor, president, Training Industry, Inc., emphasized the impact of effective leadership development programs.
“The results of this research suggest an interdependency between how well-trained leaders are and their ability to wield the tools of influence with their followers,” said Taylor. “Further, we found that follower perceptions of leadership development quality tended to match perceptions about the importance placed on training outcomes across all of the levels in Kirkpatrick’s model.”

Lightbend Collaborates With IBM to Lead Scala Reactive Programming and Apache Spark Training in Big Data University Curriculum
San Francisco, CA − March 28, 2016 − Lightbend (formerly Typesafe), the company behind the Reactive Platform that includes Lagom, Play Framework, Akka, and Scala, announced that it has been selected by IBM to lead Big Data University's core curriculum in the areas of Scala, Reactive Programming and Apache Spark. IBM launched Big Data University in 2011 as an industry initiative to spread "big data literacy" to more than one million data scientists. The expansion to the curriculum brings new opportunities for developers seeking to master the latest technologies in big data.
Big Data has become the killer app for functional programming (FP) and functional languages like Scala. The emphasis on immutability improves robustness, and data pipelines are naturally modeled and implemented using collections (like lists and maps) with composable operations. The phrase "Fast Data" captures the range of new systems and approaches, which balance various tradeoffs to deliver timely, cost-efficient data processing, as well as higher developer productivity.
For years, Lightbend has been at the forefront of innovation in Fast Data, working with companies like Samsung, Verizon, William Hill and many others to achieve the benefits of Reactive systems in Fast Data architectures. Enterprises leverage Scala, Akka, and Play Framework (the Lightbend Reactive Platform) to reduce the time gap between data arrival and value extraction. Lightbend is also a leading support provider for Apache Spark users (Spark is implemented in Scala), and an author of the Reactive Streams specification that solves Fast Data's most challenging backpressure requirements.
Fast Data architectures require reliable data ingestion, flexible storage and query options, and sophisticated analytics tools. The components that meet these requirements must also be Reactive, meaning that they scale up and down with demand, they are resilient against failures that are inevitable in large distributed systems, they always respond to service requests even if failures limit the ability to deliver services, and they are driven by messages or events from the world around them.
"We see Fast Data and the focus on speed -- more so than data volumes -- being the principal driver for the new class of Reactive applications that must work with streaming data," said Jamie Allen, senior director of global services at Lightbend. "Scala brings major advantages for building out these types of systems. We're honored to work with IBM to support this education to further their massive investment of resources in the data science community to bring complementary frameworks like Apache Spark to market."
New courses led by Lightbend in IBM's Big Data University will focus on enabling data scientists -- particularly those currently using Python or R -- to leverage Scala and its ecosystem of complementary tools to perform real-time analytics on data. Scala's key advantages in helping developers achieve Fast Data include:
Scala makes it easier to write concise code and provides idioms that improve developer productivity.
Scala is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) language, so applications can exploit the performance of the JVM and the wealth of third-party libraries available.
Scala was selected as the language of choice to build Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, and Akka, all of which are prominent players in the Fast Data ecosystem.
About Lightbend Lightbend is dedicated to helping developers build Reactive applications on the JVM. With the Lightbend Reactive Platform, developers can create message-driven applications that scale on multicore and cloud computing architectures by using projects like Lagom, Play Framework, Akka, Apache Spark, Scala, and Java. To help our customers succeed, Lightbend partners with technology pioneers such as Databricks, IBM, and Mesosphere. Lightbend is venture backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Greylock Partners, Juniper Networks and Shasta Ventures with headquarters in San Francisco.

Lessonly Raises 5 Million to Fuel Growth of Its Employee Learning Automation Software
Indianapolis, IN – March 30, 2016 − Lesson.ly, the leader in learning automation software, announced a $5 million Series A funding round led by OpenView, with participation from High Alpha Capital and Allos Ventures. The capital will be used to fuel hiring and product innovation. Lesson.ly currently serves more than 250 customers including brands like Intuit Workforce, Trunk Club, Gusto, Thumbtack, NBC News and MSNBC.
“In 2013 our first client created their first lesson, and today more than 200,000 employees are learning with Lesson.ly,” said Max Yoder, Lesson.ly’s co-founder and CEO. “This investment brings the capital and expertise we need to accelerate our learner-first technology and aggressively pursue our mission of helping people do better work so they can live better lives.”
Lesson.ly’s web-based software centralizes the tribal knowledge employees depend on and presents it as step-by-step lessons that include quizzes and feedback loops to measure engagement and promote retention. Employees are able to complete assignments, search for best practices, and request additional learning content from any device.
“Unlike traditional learning software, Lesson.ly does not require a dedicated learning and development department to create lessons,” Yoder said. “More than eighty percent of lessons are created by employees who do not have backgrounds in learning and development.”
“Lesson.ly’s flexibility and automation API made it the only choice for our sales teams’ learning needs,” said Teresa Ferguson, director of training at Trunk Club. “Lesson.ly integrates with our CRM and product catalog, allowing us to use business data to drive the right learning at the right time. The result is more engagement, retention, and better sales quota attainment. Plus, their customer experience is outstanding.”
Ricky Pelletier, Partner at OpenView, will be joining the Lesson.ly Board of Directors. “One of the greatest challenges companies face as they grow and scale is ensuring their employees have the information and context needed to be successful in their jobs,” said Pelletier. “Max and the Lesson.ly team have created a powerful solution that overcomes the challenge of employee learning by democratizing and automating the process. The entire OpenView team is thrilled to take part in this next chapter of Lesson.ly’s success.”
The global corporate eLearning market is expected to reach more than $31 billion by 2020, according to research firm Technavio. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 500,000 companies between 20 and 500 employees – a market Yoder said Lesson.ly is built to serve.
“We believe that learning automation, the field Lesson.ly is helping to pioneer, is poised to grow into an enormous industry,” said Mike Fitzgerald, a Lesson.ly board member and partner at High Alpha. “The High Alpha partners have worked closely with Max and the Lesson.ly team since the business was founded. We believe Lesson.ly is uniquely positioned to be a market leader and we couldn’t be more excited to help support their future growth.”
Prior to today’s funding news, Lesson.ly released key product enhancements including next-generation knowledge base tools, comprehensive lesson search, and a completely redesigned user interface.
Employees succeed when they have streamlined access to company knowledge, best practices, and team policies. Lesson.ly’s learning automation software helps more than 250 companies capture this information as step-by-step lessons that are easy to assign, measure, search, and update.
