In this action-packed episode of The Management Theory Toolbox, host Travis Mallett and guest Kasper Spiro, Chief Learning Strategist & Co-founder of EasyGenerator, dive deep into the paradigm shift from traditional, top‐down corporate training to a dynamic, employee generated learning (EGL) model. Discover how real-world practice, authentic peer feedback, and cutting-edge technologies like AI are transforming learning—and why “practice makes permanent” is the mantra for today’s modern workplace.
Key Takeaways
- Practice Over Passive Learning:

- Seek Constructive Feedback: Use peer insights and data (e.g., via XAPI and Learning Record Stores) to continuously refine performance.
- Employee Generated Learning (EGL) vs. Traditional Training:

- Discover how EGL fosters trust, engagement, and relevance—resulting in higher completion and success rates.
- Future-Proofing Corporate Learning:
