48: Launching Learning Engineering at Mars Rachel Horwitz and Trish Uhl

Published: March 11, 2020, 4 p.m.

Mars is the third largest distributor of food in the world \u2013 both for people and pets.\xa0 They employ over 100,000 associates and have in excess of 140 production sites.\xa0 In 2018 they started work on a cross-discipline global initiative to streamline systems process and roles for traceability of products and materials across the supply chain at Mars \u2013 from farm to fork.

Rachel Horwtiz led the work across 11 separate colleges at Mars University to collaborate on the learning solution.\xa0 Not only did she need to unite the learning teams across a federated model, she also needed to guide them and their stakeholders to work in new ways in an agile project environment.

Trish Uhl was engaged to bring her expertise across a range of disciplines including IT business readiness, performance and learning to create an integrated strategy for learning, change management and communications.\xa0 She introduced learning engineering to this program.\xa0 We explore what learning engineering is, why it was so well-suited to this initiative, and dig into how human-centred design and data analytics were used in parallel on this project.
