OM DENNE EPISODE
Do we need to concede that we’ll never be able to accurately measure the impact of our soft skills development solutions? If so, that’s an enormous amount of spending without knowing if we’re making enough of a difference. In this episode, we discuss how it is possible to plan, design and deliver for real impact and how this is already working.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Tell people upfront how what they learn applies to their job.
- Use proprietary internal knowhow to plug content gaps.
- Have people practice what they learn.
- Improve 1st line management training.
- Understand outputs and how they are measured.
- If processes are not being followed by top performers, the processes are wrong.
- L&D needs to develop too, to set an example.
BEST MOMENTS
'We do too much one size fits all.'
'They can learn from each other’s best practice.'
