Last week on The Mindtools L&D Podcast, L&D Detective Kevin M Yates joined Ross D and Dr Anna to talk about isolating the impact of training at work. When listening back, Ross G took umbrage at some of the claims made by his Mindtools colleagues and so, this week, we re-litigate!

We discuss:

Are control groups really worth it?

Ross D also discussed Dr Will Thalheimer's LTEM model.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D recommended the Hard Fork podcast.
