Today’s TLDChat featured Chris Bond, President, and CEO of Bluewater. Chris kicked off the chat sharing his impressive studio (along with the promise he will share how it is built on a future episode) and shared his history in video dating back to his father managing the Business Television Department for Texas Instruments. Chris echoed a theme for the week, focusing on data and performance for learning and development. It was great to hear insights from Chris about Talent Management and how technology has shaped the role. Hopefully, soon he’ll also share case studies and real life solutions that he has seen in his career.

In today's session, Guest Host Anthony Altieri interviews "the business conscience of L&D", Ajay Pangarkar. Why must L&D justify themselves? Ajay asks us to focus on performance. Often times as L&D professionals we talk about learning not performance. Should we be shifting the paradigm? Are we using it backwards? Anthony and Ajay explore the relationship between the business needs and learning and development. Ajay offers the perspective of being a partner- use needs assessment skills and dig in to target what you need to solve. https://www.td.org/Publications/Newsletters/Links/2017/05/The-Grapes-of-Wrath https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Consulting-Strategic-Process-Organizational/dp/1626562296 https://elearningindustry.com/elearning-authors/ajay-pangarkar-ctdp-cpa-cma http://amzn.to/c3Qsk0 https://elearningindustry.com/training-budget-was-cut-deserved http://www.trainingindustry.com/ezine/current-issue/building-strategic-learning-linkages-mapping-and-measuring-your-learning-strategy.aspx http://pubs.royle.com/publication/?i=403982&p=66#{%22page%22:66,%22issue_id%22:403982} http://candylab.com/ https://www.radiusnetworks.com/ This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm
