Episode 489 - Books and learning with Amy Cantin

from The Extraordinary Business Book Club · host Alison Jones

'Readers don't finish books that make them feel impressed by someone with a lot of experience or success. They finish books that make them feel capable.' Does the book still have a place in next-generation corporate learning platforms? You bet.   Amy Cantin of Skillsoft talks me through the evolution of organizational learning, and the ways in which business books underpin the various summaries, webinars, AI simulations and social learning opportunities they offer their corporate clients to ensure not only that every employee keeps learning, but that they are able to learn in the way that suits them best.  There are great tips here on how to write a book that's truly transformational for professional development, and a reminder that while the learning landscape has evolved, books remain the fullest expression of the ideas that shape work-life, and authors are still central to the learner's experience.
