Learning Light offers free best practice advice at HRD

The Learning Light (LL) Advice Clinic on Stand 904 at this year’s HRD exhibition, running from 17th to 19th April at ExCeL in London’s Docklands, is being staffed by a team of top learning technology advisors. Members of this team will be on hand throughout the show to provide authoritative guidance and advice relating to people, technology and improved business performance.

Among this team will be the world-renowned e-learning guru, Jay Cross, head of the Internet Time Group based in Berkeley, California, who is a regular contributor to Learning Light members on key e-learning-related topics. Also in the team is human capital management (HCM) specialist Jon Ingham who, in addition to offering advice, will be signing copies of his book ‘Strategic Human Capital Management: Creating Value through People’.

Recently appointed a research associate of LL, Ingham is a Director in Human Capital Consulting with Buck Consultants and also consults through his own company, Strategic Dynamics Consultancy Service Ltd. He has worked in the UK and Europe as an HR Director for Ernst & Young and as a consultant for Andersen Consulting (now Accenture).

In addition, those visiting the LL stand at HRD 2007 will be entitled to three months’ free access to LL’s membership services, including the LL Members’ Portal.

This members-only portal offers access to a wealth of information in the form of easy-to-use Quick Guides, Knowledge Nuggets, case studies and articles on topics related to e-learning and HCM. This information-rich repository includes access to a wide network of peers as well as the latest insights from leading gurus.
