Failure.  That’s an ugly word, right?  It’s a word that we do not like to talk about in business, much less Learning and Development.  Failure can make or break projects and careers alike, and yet we still do not like to talk about it, it stays taboo.  Well, not anymore.  In this episode we talk about what can cause an L&D project to fail, and what you can do to either learn from that failure or avoid it entirely.

Reasons for Project Failure

An L&amp;D podcast with Senior Instructional Designer Jeremy Brown &amp; Senior Project Manager Sarah Meyer. To put it simply: we are terrible students. That doesn't mean that we aren't paying attention, that we don’t understand the course content, or that we can’t pass whatever assessment is at the end. It means that if we’re in a class, we’re probably evaluating the course itself more than listening. We are listening to speech patterns, evaluating how the course is put together, and if the flow is how “we would have done it.” My hot take, one of many discussed in the podcast, is that the most effective IDs are actually terrible students. This type of ID is the training SME you want when it comes time to engage other “terrible” students.&nbsp; Check us out at lumious.com
