🖐🏽 Key Takeaways:

1. L&D is poor at delivering outcomes because there's too much focus placed on delivering content and too much on behaviors. Both are necessary for a quality experience...but they are the drivers of those outcomes.

2. L&D is missing the business mindset and the language of business that helps us to connect with our stakeholders. We should be looking to frame our business case for our training by framing our outcomes in terms that our stakeholders can understand.

3. Ask the question: "What would authentic practice look like?"

This helps stakeholders to understand transfer; it helps you to create effective practice; it ensures that everyone is aligned for both the timeline and evaluation for the success of your program.
