Episode 29 | Corporate Training is Dead - Here's Why
Learning and development practitioners are tasked to move at the speed of business. But the reality is, it’s not feasible. As a result, L&D practitioners and the learners they serve must have a mind shift that:
Recognizes there’s a ton of learning going on AWAY from the company’s LMS
L&D leaders must be okay with this and not see it as a threat
L&D leaders must build the correct ecosystem to acknowledge the learning their team is gobbling up
L&D leaders must encourage self-directed learning even more to augment their efforts
In this episode Thomas Harrell walks us through some good tips on keeping up with learning and development presently and in the future.
