UNLEASH Special - Sandra Loughlin about Skills & Business Agility - ENG

from GOOD MORNING L&D · host Forever Day One

"Most learning experts in companies aren't focused on learning. They are focused on training."What if the biggest obstacle to true skill transformation is our own L&D-centric perspective? That's what I'm discussing in this episode of GOOD MORNING L&D.My guest: 🌀 Dr. Sandra Loughlin, Chief Learning Scientist at EPAM SystemsWith her provocative theses, which she has also shared at Harvard University, she calls for a radical rethinking in L&D – away from "learning theater" and towards genuine business accountability.We talk about: – Why we need to stop confusing "inputs" (training) with "outputs" (skills), which is what the business actually wants. – Why "time in the LMS" is an irrelevant metric and only measuring the "delta" (before/after) actually counts. – The uncomfortable truth: Why 100% of the ownership for skills lies with the business, not with L&D. – How true motivation is created by crystal-clear business incentives (and not by gamification). – Why the most important skill for L&D leaders is saying "No" to training requests and, instead, asking uncomfortable, challenging questions.About the Podcast Host: Moritz Ettl – Founder Forever Day One https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritzettl/More from GOOD MORNING L&D: Website: https://foreverday.one/masterclasses/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@4ed1- Distribution: Forever Day One Editorial and Production: Tanja Kamp
