Offbeat On Air

We are on a mission to break our L&D bubble! We want to connect to people trying to achieve similar goals to ours, but in other circumstances, with different skills, and tools. We’ll learn how scientists solve problems, how professional athletes think of performance, and how surgeons approach the learning process. All of this to infuse new perspectives into our lives as learning professionals.

  1. What can L&Ds learn from product management?

    29 OCT.

    What can L&Ds learn from product management?

    We've heard it quite often lately: there's a lot L&D can learn from product management. But what is that exactly? Thanks to Lucia Collarà who brought years of experience to the table, we got to explore: A framework for building products looking at viability, feasibility, and desirability; The difference between product management and product ownership; How just like L&Ds, PMs are informal leaders, and need to influence change without authority; How the discipline of prioritization helps product managers in being impactful business partners; Why the OKR framework can fail without enough resources & psychological safety. Get ready for lots of insights, and a thoughtful conversation about product management, teaching product management, and the lessons we can learn as L&Ds from the product world.

  4. Exploring AI in L&D through curiosity and experimentation

    5 AVR.

    Exploring AI in L&D through curiosity and experimentation

    It feels like AI is everywhere and nowhere. It's everywhere because everybody is talking about it. For many of us, it's nowhere because we're not yet using it at full capacity. Ross, Aki, and Rita bring us three different perspectives in this episode: external L&D consultant, internal L&D, and product. Together with them, we explore: Is the hype real, or is AI just another bubble? Are there any organizations or L&D teams already using AI? Spoiler alert, yep, there are! What stands in the way of experimenting and adopting AI? Fear of failure and inaccurate expectations; What will the role of L&D Professional be in the future? Will anything change? What do we need to do, as L&Ds, if we want to be involved in AI adoption and digital transformation in our organizations? We spent more than an hour dissecting all these points and had an honest, bold, and tough conversation about the intersection between L&D and AI.

The challenge of customer research and user access as a critical part of the process. A step-by-step process of service design, describing issues such as problem definition, stakeholder engagement, and prototyping.
