Pivot To Performance Panel Discussion

View descriptionShare

In the final episode of this series, we welcome back Mirjam Neelen, Carl Binder, Teemu Lilja, Fredrik Peterson Herfindal, and Judith Hale to answer your questions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Being agile means we have to provide personal/career development and performance improvement. The two are closely connected, doing well in your job leads to career development.
  • The opportunity for people to learn is all around them, we need to tap into the fact their peers and supervisors have a lot of knowledge to impart and provide content that helps them to learn on the job.
  • The list of skills people need includes things like capabilities, talent, and mindset.
  • Identify the experiences people need to be exposed to so that they can develop the right skills. Then make sure they get to do that type of work.
  • There is still a tendency for stakeholders to expect L&D to do what they are told. To get results, this has to change. The panel discusses ways to drive that change.
  • We all need to look at performance as the output and make that our starting point.
  • Identifying critical business issues and addressing them is essential.

BEST MOMENTS

'The issue is really about; I call it bench strength; how agile we are. '

'We need to address skills in context'

'When we offer suites of generic content, we leave people hanging. They can master that content, but they may not know how to apply it in their jobs

'Talk to the people who will talk to you. Start there.'
