Four different ways to reset your investment in enabling learning

"The only people I've ever met in my 40+ years in L&D who seem to have an insatiable appetite for more and more L&D, are clients who mistakenly believe that more content will address their performance problems."

Guy W. Wallace 

1. Re-balance investments more evenly between 'individual worker', 'teams', and 'the overall organisation'

2. Consider the nature of the work for which you are seeking to accelerate / support learning for; is it 'routine' work? 'complex' work? 'innovation' work? (the tactics employed will need to be different) 

3. Re-balance investments more evenly between 'productive' learning - to support existing processes, usually focused on ensuring compliance and / or incremental improvements

and 

'generative' learning - to support discovery on next opportunities - focused on facilitating new ideas, connections, and possibilities

4. Re-balance investments based on whether the intent is:

to 'align' (people around new organisational goals, new processes, new tactics)

to 'enable' (people to create new opportunities, new expectations, new performance standards)

or to 'disrupt' (the status quo).
