In this episode Dan Tohill
interviews David James the Chief Learning Officer at Looop and Podcast Host of
The Learning & Development Podcast.
David James discusses the challenges in learning and
development and how we're in for a tough time as a result of the
pandemic as we're set to make up for lost opportunities in harsh
economic circumstances.
In this episode David shares his ideas
on:
- Accelerated apprenticeships - when it really mattered we didn't
do any training at all
- Why are we trying to solve problems that Google already has
covered?
- Performance support and performance consulting are key learning
tools often undervalued.
- L&D today can get stuck in administering and delivering
courses whilst not taking into consideration performance in a
meaningful way.
Where David believes the future of learning and
development should be focussed on:
- Eliminating the administration in learning and development for
more efficiency.
- High levels of automation in L&D focussed on the employee
working experience - not trying to create a parallel learning
experience.
- Being more data driven and demonstrating the value and impact
of learning.
- The formative understanding of data, showing where the
critical points of failure are in the organisation and addressing
those issues directly.
David has been a People Development professional for more than
20 years, most notably as Director of Talent, Learning & OD for The
Walt Disney Company across Europe, the Middle East & Africa. As
well as being the Chief Learning Strategist at Looop, David is a
prominent writer and speaker on topics around modern and digital
L&D as well as an active member of the CIPD L&D Advisory
Board.
