The Learning & Development Podcast

Standing on the Shoulders of L&D’s Giants With Mirjam Neelen


Listen Later

Learning & Development seems to be constantly evolving but at the same time revisiting and reinventing what has come before. In this episode, we discuss the emerging trends that have their origins in the past and the pioneers that we all need to pay more attention to.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Even today, much of what we do in L&D is not evidence-based. This has to change.
  • We are not taking successful methods from the past and reworking them for the modern world. Instead, we are simply rehashing old theories, without looking for evidence that they work.
  • We don´t look back to see who might have done what we are trying to achieve before.
  • You have to understand the jobs of the participants, and do the cognitive task analysis.
  • L&D is not all about delivering learning. They are there to solve problems that are holding the business back
  • Stakeholder management is a vital component of delivering solutions that work.

BEST MOMENTS

'There is a big gap between positive endeavour and evidence-based practice.'

'Do it well, or don´t do it

'You need to work with problem analysis teams and then with problem-solving teams.'

'We need to think more holistically '
