148 — Can we get over 'shiny object syndrome'?


Listen Later

In Learning & Development, we love shiny objects: VR, AR, microlearning - surely one of these tools will turn out to be the key to unlocking higher performance?

In this episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Axonify's JD Dillon to discuss.

We explore the attraction of the 'silver bullet', the conditions that have created this mindset, and vendors' responsibility to have more nuanced conversations with prospective clients.
