Reimagining Better Development

What if the reason our development efforts aren't producing better performance is that we're focusing on the wrong thing?

Organizations invest in courses, learning platforms, and training programs, yet often overlook the experiences that actually develop people's capabilities.In this episode of Development Reimagined, Anita and Chin challenge traditional approaches to employee development. From creating opportunities to practice new skills to rethinking who deserves development, they explore what it really takes to build capability and change behavior.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why completing a course doesn't mean someone has developed a skill.
• How organizations can create opportunities for practice, reflection, and real-world application.
• Why increasing performance expectations without developing employee capabilities can contribute to burnout.
• How to make development accessible beyond high-potential employees and senior leaders.
• Why AI should support a better development process, not simply automate outdated practices.

The big question: Are you measuring how much people learn, or how much they're actually developing?
