As learning and development professionals, should we focus on learning outcomes or business outcomes? In this week's podcast, GoodPractice Business Development Director Chris Keenan argues that some parts of L&D lack basic business skills. He joins Ross G and Owen to share his experiences and chat about what we could do differently.

If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find Chris on Twitter @Chris_R_Keenan, Owen @OwenFerguson and Ross @RossGarnerGP.

The audio books he is looking forward to are Niall Ferguson's The Square and the Tower: Networks, Hierarchies and the Struggle for Global Power and Bill Bryson's Appliance of Science.
