We know that in a lot of organisations, learning and development still means training, and training still means classroom. How do we overcome resistance to the alternatives? Should we overcome that resistance?

On this week's episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Camden Council's Tom Spencer and Sarah Sedley.

We discuss:

• the challenges of delivering learning for a diverse audience
• historic approaches to learning
• new opportunities created by technology and a changing mindset.

If you'd like to get in touch with us about any of the things we've said on this show, you can tweet @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson, @TomBSpencer or email [email protected].

You can also tweet @GoodPractice and @GoodPracticeAUS.
