Data is critical, yes, but CLOs (Chief Learning Officers), is this obsession shrouding...More

When it comes to the L /D (Learning and Development) space, there are many fads and trends that come and go. Because L/D is often viewed as the "fix it" center of organizations, all problems in the organization suddenly become and default to a "training issue". This is wildly untrue and unfair and, as a result...More

Learning transformation only happens when learning is acquired, as I like to call it, so deeply within the DNA... the living molecules of the learner that it viscerally becomes one with their very being.
