We are on a mission to break our L&D bubble! We want to connect to people trying to achieve similar goals to ours, but in other circumstances, with different skills, and tools. We’ll learn how scientists solve problems, how professional athletes think of performance, and how surgeons approach the learning process. All of this to infuse new perspectives into our lives as learning professionals.Lavinia Mehedintu & Milica Sapic

  • The common ground between L&D and Innovation
    Dec 3 2024

    What is innovation exactly? Does it have anything to do with L&D? What's the difference between improvement and innovation? You might be wondering as well. If so, enjoy our latest episode, where, together with our guest, Cori Moore, we peeled innovation in an effort to better understand what it is, how it happens, and how it's connected to L&D. We explored:

    - The common ground between L&D and innovation;
    - The rigorous methodology needed to foster innovation, including the process of experimentation and dealing with setbacks;
    - How L&D can support innovation by creating a culture of psychological safety, reflection, and continuous experimentation;
    - Practical advice for L&Ds such as spending time with learners, running small-scale experiments, and embracing informal learning opportunities.


    Get ready for some radical honesty when it comes to innovation!

  • What can L&Ds learn from product management?
    Oct 29 2024

    We've heard it quite often lately: there's a lot L&D can learn from product management. But what is that exactly? Thanks to Lucia Collarà who brought years of experience to the table, we got to explore:

    • A framework for building products looking at viability, feasibility, and desirability;
    • The difference between product management and product ownership;
    • How just like L&Ds, PMs are informal leaders, and need to influence change without authority;
    • How the discipline of prioritization helps product managers in being impactful business partners;
    • Why the OKR framework can fail without enough resources & psychological safety.

    Get ready for lots of insights, and a thoughtful conversation about product management, teaching product management, and the lessons we can learn as L&Ds from the product world.
