Back in Episode 150, the CIPD's Andy Lancaster told us he was writing a book. Now that he's written that book, Driving Performance Through Learning, we thought we'd invite him back to chat about it.

This week on the podcast, Andy joins Ross D and Owen to discuss everything you always wanted to know about learning* (*but were afraid to ask). We cover:

the changing role of L&D professionals
the impact of technology as an approach to supporting workplace performance
the factors required to support workplace social networks
