The Skills Pandemic

This week’s podcast guest is Charles Jennings, Partner at the 70:20:10 Institute. Charles is a big believer in getting the learning context right by better embedding learning into work, often called informal learning, experiential learning, or real learning. While the 70:20:10 model was designed to promote this approach, many organisations adopting the model are still falling short of the mark. Charles and I dig into this in more detail throughout the episode, with many insights, both from the academic literature and practical case studies from organisations.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to re-think our traditional conceptions of learning, and better embed up-skilling into daily work and social interactions
• Focusing on performance analysis over skills or learning analysis, and how organisations can achieve this with examples from a couple of companies
• The relevance of the 70:20:10 model for learning today and getting L&D teams back on track, thinking about performance and impact instead of viewing learning itself as the end goal
