Glen's presentation on the Merrill Lynch learning network at IDCD Summit
Here is the presentation I gave with Kathy Goldreich, Director,
Merrill Lynch GMI Learning and Development, at the Instructional Design
and Curriculum Development Summit, March 2004, in New Orleans.
Presentation Description:
Using peer-to-peer learning to unlock talent and impact the bottom line
Merrill Lynch and The Otter Group transformed a second-year MBA course
on Investments at MIT’s Sloan School of Management into a learning
network of high potential Merrill Lynch employees who develop new
products and services for the firm. Now in its fourth year, the
MIT/Merrill Lynch Investments program takes 50 high potential
employees each year and runs them through a four-month Investments
curriculum and a new product development process. Learning Directors
from the Otter Group, working with internal Learning Director Kathy
Goldreich at Merrill Lynch, design and manage the adaptation of
Professor Andrew Lo’s ideas to real-world business problems. Learning
is shared across teams and peer-to-peer. The results: new products and
services designed by project teams that have now generated millions in
return for Merrill Lynch.
