Learning at Large

In episode 4 I speak with Lars Hyland, Chief Learning Officer at Totara Learning. Lars is an advocate for the positive impact that technology can have on education and learning. We talked about how to demonstrate business value early on to control groups, identifying the right business problems to solve, knowing when to push back the role of a learning team, and how to decentralize learning and development to support a more scalable learning culture. (EP4)

In episode 3 I talk to special guest Sam Taylor. A learning leader for nearly 20 years. Sam believes in putting the learner first and has found ways to achieve that scale by shifting the conversation from training to development. We talk about digital first learning strategies and how to build a successful culture in your organization. And finally, why confidence is an important indicator of effectiveness. (EP3)

In episode 2 I talk to Daniel Hunter, Global Trainings Manager at 350.org. We talked about the power of storytelling, speaking to feelings, using campaigns to build a network, group learning techniques, and above all, how to get people to get into a mindset where they’re actually prepared to take action on something they care about. (EP2)

To kick off the Learning at Large podcast, I talk to Paul Goundry, Head of Learning at Utility Warehouse. We talked about what CLOs can learn from product designers, how to show the value of L&D by linking it to business impact, and Paul shared a number of resources and insights that have helped him develop his quite unique perspective on learning at scale.  (EP1)
