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.

Greatest hits

I was speaking at Learntec 2022 in Germany last week about evaluation and data. It was great to be back and to meet online connections, new people and some people who I’ve met there before.

The total listenership of WTAL via Spotify was about 6% when it was… Read More Who represents you?
