Too many L&D teams still only expect their digital offering to supplement face-to-face and drive engagement as an end in itself. But that’s no longer enough. The opportunity now is to influence performance and therefore results. Peter Manniche-Riber challenges himself to do this and in this episode he shares the method he uses to have a different type of conversation with stakeholders and build solutions that make the difference.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Far too many people are still focused upon how learning and development can be restricted, limited and measured. The task ahead is to better educate stakeholders about true people development.
• Many in the L&D sector are generally anxious about actually leaving our environments in order to find out what people need. But by doing so we can better identify solutions.
• There is a shift from learning objectives to performance outcomes. We need to encourage discussion about what people should do differently and how we measure this, and what the impact is. 
• The future of development relies on listening to, and understanding, our people. We can do this by employing  in-house analysis, to find out what people are talking about, praising and unhappy with.

BEST MOMENTS

‘My work is not a “tick the box” exercise. It’s about people. It’s about learning’

‘What do you want people to think, feel and do, on the other side of what it is you want to achieve?’

‘If you don’t know what people care about, then you don’t know what the solution is’

‘I haven’t come across one piece of effective e-learning that made a difference'
