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

"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 Systems





With 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.
