Advancing e-learning implementation in Financial
Services conference
FSSC's big vision
Presenter: David Jackman, Head of Industry Training, Financial
Services Authority
As well as fulfilling his position at the FSA, David is also
responsible for the Financial Services Skills Council (one
of the new sector skills councils). With only three weeks
under his belt in this latter role, he was understandably
using the conference to float a few ideas and to gauge the
reaction.
Essentially, the skills council is looking to raise the level
of effectiveness and competitiveness of the sector's workforce,
and will be working with organisations to help them understand
what they can do to boost productivity. His vision is to have
a single exam framework on an international basis which is
competence based. He talked about the potential to develop
one portal for all learners in the sector for regulatory testing
and regular 'MOT's of their learning competence. This is envisaged
to be in the interest of consumers and the industry as a whole.
At this point, having spotted a potential flaw in his argument,
your intrepid reporter cast aside her natural reticence and
asked a question. How was he going to motivate companies to
share knowledge with their direct competitors, given that
e-learning had delivered competitive advantage for some companies
in this sector?
His answer was, 'that's a tough question… I'll come back
to you...'
