Business EDUCA: Understanding Learners as Customers
Date Friday, Dec 8 Time – RoomCharlottenburg 3
How can you move to a customer led learning organisation? What ‘personas’ do your customers have; what do they look like? How do you engage your customers to participate in the design of learning? This guided discussion will cover ground on topics such as: Lessons from learner insights (how can you treat learners as customers and create a compelling offer for them?); Learner ‘personas’ (Design Thinking in learning); Learners at the centre (enabling learners to create their own learning with autonomy and control); Customer led learning (with spaced chunks); Accessible rich learning (and the role of the smartphone); and The role of neuroscience and technology in creating personalised learning.

Annett Irmer
E.ON, Germany
Annett Irmer started her professional career as learning technology consultant at IMC AG in 2000 after studying European Finance and Accounting and a Master Program in European Human Resource Management.
In this role, she supported global organisations in the design and implementation of learning technology strategies. A key focus was the implementation and rollout of learning management systems. She was also responsible for setting up a subsidiary of IMC in Paris, France.
After seven years as a consultant, Annett changed to E.ON and took over the role as “Program Manager e-Learning” at the E.ON Academy, the corporate university of E.ON. During her time at E.ON, Annett took on different roles and project responsibilities within Learning & Development such as the implementation of a Group-wide learning controlling framework, learning process management as well as the efficiency project for learning in the context of the program E.ON 2.0.
With the implementation of the new HR model, Annett took the role of the client expert for Regional Unit Germany in the Center of Competence Global Learning.

Teresa Rose
Product Manager for Digital Learning, E.ON, Germany
Teresa is Product Manager for Digital Learning at E.ON SE in the Global Learning Centre of Competence, based in Essen, Germany. She has worked for E.ON since 2008, previously in the UK L&D Centre of Expertise as a leadership and management learning designer, then project managing learning initiatives linked to E.ON's UK strategy and people plan. However, her passion for learning stems from working in business development for eLearning and games based education companies. It was where she developed much of her technology enabled learning expertise; partnering Education Authorities and developing teachers to embed technology into their curriculums. When looking at a business problem, Teresa's key strengths are the ability to view situations strategically, using an OD/systems lens to assess the current and future context and identifying opportunities for pragmatic innovation. Her approach is focussed on partnering the business to get to the heart of the underlying issues. And although she'll admit to a love of digital learning, she always puts the business need first and the tech second, stepping away from the learning jargon.
