Random ramblings that might, or might not, relate to training, learning, development, and management

Author: andrewjacobslnd

An L&D Manager, determined that Learning and Development should be an integral part of business activity. Too often managers ask for training as an afterthought, and, since L&D haven't been involved in the design, it fails.

A year or so ago I started running clinics to support L&D people and realised the other week, following Arash’s post, they might be worth reviving.
