Episode description
It’s been three years since the first edition of The Learning and Development Handbook by Michelle Parry-Slater was published. In that time, a global pandemic, rise of AI, and shift to remote working, have transformed how we work.
This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Michelle returns to the show to discuss the second edition of her book with Ross G.
We discuss:
- what has changed (and what hasn’t) since the first edition was published
- the evolving role of the modern learning professional
- whether it’s still possible to keep up with the rate of change.
During the discussion, Ross referenced Amazon’s decision to tell staff to go back to the office five days a week.
He also discussed the paper: Albarracín, D., Fayaz-Farkhad, B., & Granados Samayoa, J. A. (2024). Determinants of behaviour and their efficacy as targets of behavioural change interventions. Nature Reviews Psychology, 1-16.
