Plenty of data points to the need to change – but you can often just feel that something is off.

L&D is always in chase mode with the operation, SMEs, and users - despite needs.
Pexels.com @JD_Dillon
L&D pros often operate from a place of fear –afraid that failing to check boxes will result in the loss of trust, value and possibly jobs.

Its past time for L&D to reimagine its role in workplace learning and performance.
@JD_Dillon
The current state of L&D can be compared to the challenges Blockbuster encountered when faced with rapid disruption.
@JD_Dillon
Blockbuster not only failed to innovate, but they also failed to seize the opportunity to define their own future when offered the chance to buy Netflix.

Unlike Blockbuster, L&D pros must seize the opportunities presented by evolutions in the workplace + redefine their value.

This doesn’t mean we should throw away everything we’ve done – every skill we have as L&D pros.

We must pivot and reimagine how our existing – and new –skills can be applied in the modern workplace.

What if your new ideas are crushed by hierarchy, politics or those who don’t recognize the need to change?

Regardless of role, L&D pros must shift perceptive + leverage modern principles in everything they do – every design decision or recommendation they make.

Awareness

Making the effort to understand what’s going on “out there” in the business AND acknowledging why you do what you do.

Accepting that you must learn + evolve in order to stay relevant in your role

Our employees have the remote – they are in control of their own learning + performance now more than ever.

We must find ways to support performance and fit our strategties into the context of the modern workplace.
Yahoo Finance @JD_Dillon
We must reimagine the role of L&D in the modern workplace to avoid the same type of bankruptcy of relevance that took down Blockbuster + so many other orgs.
