He’s currently working at the fashion brand ASOS, where he is responsible for the transformation and development of the digital learning strategy.

Fosway have produced an interesting case study with Sky's Learning and Development teams following their innovative approach to organising their team and solving business problems. For example, instructor led training no longer exists and elearning is limited to specific use cases - e.g. certain mandatory training. David James supported Sky during this journey and offers us further insight from the case study.

In 2016 Google reported that 20% of all searches undertaken on it’s mobile apps and Android devices were done so through voice. It’s not just Google, Gartner suggests that 30% of all web browsing sessions by 2020 will be undertaken without a screen. Yet despite the increase of VoiceFirst platforms, products and usage there is still a gap in understanding how VoiceFirst technology can make our lives easier; 72% of users say they don’t know how to use all of their smart speaker’s features. Learning and Development teams don’t appear to be exploring the potential of the technology despite all of the signs that VoiceFirst technology is becoming an everyday aspect of our lives. Our innovation is focussed on tools like virtual reality, augmented reality or trying to put that “Click next” button, for elearning, in a really engaging place. Alexa, play a “sigh” sound. My special guest, Bradley Metrock, discusses what VoiceFirst is and how it could be used within L&D www.lloyddean.co.uk
