257 — Creating an organizational learning strategy

Over the last two years, L&D has been forced to adapt to rapid, unprecedented change. As learning leaders find new ways of supporting their organizations, is now the perfect time for them to rethink their learning strategy?

This week on the The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, the two Rosses are joined by Michelle Ockers to discuss:

• what we mean when we talk about 'organizational learning strategy'
• what a good strategy looks like in practice
• how to develop a strategy that accounts for uncertainty
• the common pitfalls to avoid when developing a strategy
