Yvette Says: Solve Real Problems - Don't Just Train!

I’m sure you’re knee-deep in finalising your L&D budget and plan for the year. But before assuming your people are ready to dive into your training, think again! They’re busy, and their first thought is: “Will this help me right now?” There are a few things I told a client after completing their Learning Needs Analysis. Get practical, and solve immediate challenges. Keep it concise, as actionable content beats hours of passive learning. Speak their language, and frame training as a solution to their daily problems. Make it relevant to them, and they'll thank you!

Craig's Thoughts: Make It Hyper-Personal in 2025!

Hyper-personalisation is the key theme for talent development in 2025, and is reshaping the way organisations approach development for their people, moving away from the dreaded 'sheep dip'. This approach has been adopted by some of the real future-focused businesses in recent months, and is something we've supported organisations to achieve. One example of this is our recent live?360 project with Halcyon.ai. By providing personalised development plans ahead of wider leadership development we helped unlock specific actionable insights unique to each person and drive meaningful growth.
