In Learning & Development, we love shiny objects: VR, AR, microlearning - surely one of these tools will turn out to be the key to unlocking higher performance?

In this episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Axonify's JD Dillon to discuss.

We explore the attraction of the 'silver bullet', the conditions that have created this mindset, and vendors' responsibility to have more nuanced conversations with prospective clients.

IMDb reviews for Game of Thrones last and lowest-rated episode can be read here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6027920/reviews?ref_=tt_urv As an editorial insert from Ross, those reviewers are totally wrong and in years to come the ending will be held up as a masterpiece that has been foreshadowed for eight seasons.
