Do L&D professionals need to accept that L&D’s not always the answer? Yes! And that’s not even one of Paul Matthews’ three elephants in the room. Instead, we need to start with the desired behaviour and work backwards to the right format. Paul Matthews is an L&D expert, speaker and consultant, but he’s also the author of three books on the three L&D elephants: Learning transfer, capability and informal learning. And he’ll talk you through how and why you should address them in this episode. Hit play and learn how you can harness informal learning’s power, how to become a better performance consultant, the need for a credible L&D brand and plenty more. And you can tell Paul is a great public speaker, because he breaks it all down in relatable ways.In other words, he’s great fun to listen to!
