The Mindtools L&D Podcast

Oct 22, 2024

If you work in learning and development, you probably get some direction from your senior leadership team about what to focus on and how much to spend. But, once you get into the details, you have lots of room to play.

In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Chief Learning Officer Marc Steven Ramos joins Ross Garner and Ross Dickie to discuss:

·       the strengths and weaknesses of different genAI tools

·       whether tools like ChatGPT are living up to the hype

·       how L&D can start experimenting, and why it’s the ideal team to do so!

Marc discussed these ideas in more detail on his Substack and in his article for Harvard Business Review (with Marc Zao-Sanders).

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross G recommended a warning on ‘pokies’ from The Guardian.
