The L&D industry has always talked about 'business value' as an elusive concept. Now, a new book from Laura Overton and Michelle Ockers, The L&D Leader: Principles and Practice for Delivering Business Value, articulates what that looks like in practice.

This week on The Mindtools L&D Podcast, they join Ross D and Dr Anna to discuss:

• how L&D teams can transition through different stages of maturity
• the role of data in shaping business value
• the role of community and where to find it in the post-Twitter world.

The book, The L&D Leader: Principles and Practice for Delivering Business Value, is available now from Kogan Page.
