In this special episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, we’re turning the tables! Host of The Learning Hack podcast, John Helmer, takes over the mic to interview our very own David James about 360Learning’s new L&D Maturity Model.

With a wealth of experience in the learning industry, John brings a sharp, inquisitive lens to this conversation, challenging David on why L&D needs another maturity model, how it’s been developed, and what makes it different from the many that have come before.

If you’ve ever wondered how to push your team forward and make a lasting impact, this episode is for you.

Take your L&D to the next level

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Maturity Model was built collaboratively.
• The model covers the 5 stages L&D goes through to reach maturity and become the engine that transforms their businesses.
• To truly impact the business, you need to anticipate business needs and train people for them in advance – the transformative stage.
• Stakeholders will resist your working transformatively. David explains why and how to overcome this.
• If you don´t understand the work you can´t deliver a solution.
• Open your conversations with “How´s business?”
• PR the hell out of everything and the impact you deliver.
• Use AI. David explains how.

BEST MOMENTS

“This is the lived experience of bouncing against stakeholders.”
