The world is changing fast, but are you? Do you know where the skills gaps are in your organization? Do you know how to fill these gaps? Most importantly, can you make the necessary changes quickly enough to succeed?
Learning at Speed is a practical book which brings together the best from lean and agile methodologies to show how they can be applied to learning and development (L&D) to improve individual and organizational performance. This provides a people development framework which can be used to deconstruct a learning strategy and optimise each element for improved results. It shows how to identify learning barriers and possible solutions, leverage company data to understand learning needs and how to assess the most effective learning resources and delivery channels.
Crucially, Learning at Speed shows how to track metrics that matter, get the most from your budget and how to build a business case to get stakeholder buy-in. Understanding how to continuously upskill and reskill a workforce at speed will ensure that organizations can stay ahead of the competition. Supported by templates, worksheets, case studies, examples and practical advice, this book is the practical guide that shows learning and development (L&D) professionals how to achieve this.
