Ep. 43: Making Learning Stick with Chris Taylor

from The Learning+ Podcast Hosted by Learnnovators

What actually makes behavior change stick after a learning session ends? Chris Taylor joins Learning+ to share findings from close to a million data points on behavior change commitments. Vidya and Chris explore the "big E" environment (culture, systems) versus the "small e" environment (the people right around a learner), and why the latter is far more within L&D’s control to influence and change. They dig into what accountability partners should and shouldn't do, why proving impact might be the wrong goal, and why there's no such thing as bad data. A conversation for anyone who's wondered why training doesn't always translate into changed behavior.
