More Than Learning

This is the third episode in a season of podcasts from 5app all about ‘Getting Stuff Done’. It’s great to hear from theorists about what we should be doing, but hearing from people who are actually rolling up their sleeves and Getting Stuff Done is far more valuable (we think!). 


Why is this topic important? Because often we get comms wrong by not thinking enough about it – by not understanding that the nature of our work is 

• communication based
• engagement based, and
• people based.  

L&D operates in lots of different spheres and reaches into the business - to do that well you need to communicate well. Ultimately our purpose is to help people be better at what they need to do, ie more effective, efficient, and increase performance. We need to look at this picture holistically. 


In this episode we hear from a series of experts – Arash Mazinani, Dan Hewitt, Simon Gibson, Sally Rhodes, Jodie Pritchard and Liam Moore – about how we can drive the  changes we want by getting the holy trinity of learning, engagement and comms right. They explain how we can connect with the people who are not already engaged in our work (as well as keeping those who are already engaged, engaged!).

This is the second episode in a season of podcasts from 5app all about ‘Getting Stuff Done’. It’s great to hear from the thought leaders and theorists about what we should be doing, but hearing from people who are doing the do and Getting Stuff Done is an opportunity not to be missed.

In this episode you'll hear from L&D experts Jodie Pritchard, Dan Hewitt, Simon Gibson, and Sally Rhodes on how they engage leaders and managers in their organisations, and give them what they need to inspire and lead.

We all know the days of one size fits all development programmes are long gone - if we are just churning out development programmes or 'stuff' for leaders and managers to do, they're not going to be engaged with it. We asked our panel, "How can we do better?" and dive into how they define the gaps in L&D design and delivery, what they do to address those gaps, how culture ties in, and more.

This is the first episode in a season of podcasts from 5app all about ‘Getting Stuff Done’. It’s great to hear from the thought leaders and theorists about what we should be doing, but hearing from people who are doing the do and 'Getting Stuff Done' is an opportunity not to be missed.

In this episode we speak to a series of experts - Arash Rezaei-Mazinani, Dan Hewitt, Simon Gibson, and Sally Rhodes - about skills. Skills and either upskilling or reskilling seem to be a constant in pretty much everything learning and development related right now. So, if it’s a hot topic, we wanted to hear from the people who are managing their way through it.

Last time on More Than Learning we worked through what Hybrid might mean. The shift to a more hybrid way of working has meant that many practices and procedures that were commonplace in the office have had to be reinvented. Workspaces are operating in a vast range of ways right now from fully occupied, to fully remote and pretty much everything in between.

What is happening is that as these practices and procedures are changing, you’re uncovering gaps in people’s knowledge, skills and understanding.

In this episode of More Than Learning, we’ll be speaking with 3 more experts and working out how upskilling and reskilling might be needed to fill these gaps.
