Pouring your heart into a learning initiative, only for it to go down like a lead balloon - there’s no pain like it. We've all been there. And it's probably because we're not solving the right problem!

In L&D, we’re guilty of making assumptions. Taking action before diagnosing issues. And ending up disappointed when we're not having the impact we want.

But solving business challenges and enabling people hinges on identifying the right problems and defining the right outcomes.

People Collective’s Matt Bradburn joined us to discuss how we can nail that first part (and set ourselves up to smash the second).
