Learning Uncut

This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Emergent series where we talk about rapidly changing business models, and how Learning and Development can support organisations to adapt.  Exploring how learning professionals can emerge from disruption as relevant and effective. Our circumstances may dictate our environment but our professional attitude significantly influences our credibility and response to those changes. For some in L&D , this may be a time to speak up, to say no or to experiment or introduce a new idea.  This podcast explores the practical steps we can take to dust off and strengthen that healthy dose of confidence and courage we need to tackle uncertainty.

This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Emergent series where we talk about rapidly changing business models, and how Learning and Development can support organisations to adapt.  Join us for a discussion around how innovation and creativity is essential as we move through 2020 and the “new normal”. Key to the discussion is how being creative is not necessarily the same as creativity and how a true innovative mindset requires us all to be vulnerable, and empathic while focusing on a bias to action.
