Design for Doing: Turning Learning into Capability

from L&D in 20 Hosted by Julia Nieradka, Brian Genisio

Why is your training program building knowledge instead of skill? In this episode, Julia sits down with Brian Genisio, Vice President of Content Engineering at CodeSignal, to explore why traditional e-learning builds knowledge but rarely capability. Brian breaks down the case for active practice over passive broadcast-style training, how AI-powered simulations and Socratic tutoring are finally making scalable one-on-one coaching possible, where human coaching still beats AI, and why managers must build learning, doing, and teaching directly into the operating rhythm of their teams. Time Stamps: (01:27) The shift from broadcast learning to active practice (06:22) Why AI-powered simulations now make practice-based learning possible (08:52) What great management looks like in building employee capability (12:27) One design principle L&D leaders should adopt: designing for doing, not knowing (14:41) Rapid fire Links: Connect with Brian on LinkedIn Connect with Julia on LinkedIn Learn more about Go1
