Ep. 9 - Why There's a Gap Between L&D Initiatives and Employees – Ross Stevenson
Ross Stevenson is the creator of the L&D newsletter Steal These Thoughts.
He's a seasoned learning and performance strategist helping to build world-class learning functions for global organizations.
His expertise lies in designing digital-first learning content strategies, fusing marketing techniques with learning principles, and crafting top-notch digital content tools.
In this episode, we spoke all about why employees don't engage with Learning Team initiatives and what we can do about that.
____
🖐🏽 Key Takeaways:
Part of the reason there's such a gap between L&D and the rest of the organization is because of limitations set by the organization on how to measure learning (incorrectly).
Always finish your learning design with an engagement plan. Go back to the strategies that you used to conduct an analysis for a learning problem and use those to retarget your learners.
If you're running a lean L&D team and want to measure impact (but don't have the time/capacity) consider using the BAR framework – see resources.
