Episode description

This is the fourth episode in a season of podcasts from 5app all about ‘Getting Stuff Done’. It’s great to hear from theorists about what we should be doing, but hearing from the people who're actually rolling up their sleeves and Getting Stuff Done is far more valuable (we think!).

Collaboration is crucial for L&D to have a business focus. We are often great collaborators internally in L&D, yet forget about other stakeholders across the business - the people in a range of roles that we need to build trust with, understand and support.

L&D suffers when we are unaware of what is NOT working.

• Connecting with key contacts and their needs ensures that we are aligned with what they're trying to achieve.
• It helps us build trust so that they open up about what's important to them and what's not working.

When we aren't building these relationships we risk a disconnect: an absence of understanding that we work in a business - when business outcomes should be what drives us.

In this episode we hear from a series of experts – Jose Franca, Sally Rhodes, Dan Hewitt, Arash Mazinani, Liam Moore - about why collaboration is important and what happens when we don’t get it right. They explain who we need to connect and work with.
