The Mindtools L&D Podcast 410 — Agile L&D puts the ‘human’ into ‘Human Resources’
This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, we're putting the ‘people’ back into People Development and the ‘human’ back into ‘Human Resources, as we explore Natal Dank's book Agile L&D.
Natal is the co-owner and director of PXO Culture, a consultancy firm on a mission to make HR, culture and change about humans.
And her book, Agile L&D, is a follow-up to Agile HR.
We discuss:
-
Problems with a ‘traditional’ approach to L&D
-
Tools and methods for prioritizing and organizing workloads
-
Whether ‘agile’ has just become another corporate buzzword

During the discussion, Natal referenced the books The Build Trap by Melissa Perri and Embracing Uncertainty by Margaret Heffernan.
