GoodPractice are well known for their weekly podcasts about work, performance and learning. They recorded their second podcast in front of a live audience after the CIPD L&D show day one. I was honoured to be asked as a guest and you can listen here!
Below are some tweets…

This two-part article I wrote for TJ ahead of the live podcast recording, focusing on performance of L&D teams:

#gppodlive 3 things from 'the state of work research from @AndyLancasterUK. "One third of people feel they have manageable workloads"
— Emerald Works (@Emerald_Works) April 25, 2018
#gppodlive @AndyLancasterUK "people at lower levels feel underdeveloped" Aspirations not met.

#gppodlive life long learning is important says @AndyLancasterUK but we need to teach people to learn. Many myths and misapprehensions

#GPPodLive How can we align #careers with #productivity and #performance in a fast changing world?
— Fabrizio Conrado (@FabrizioConrado) April 25, 2018
#GPPodLive learning skills are the most important. It doesn't matter what the tech is if people don't know how to learn themselves and their managers don't know how to support them #learning pic.twitter.com/YFpxKeoTSM

Who determines the skills? The L&D function, the company or the end user? Or all 🤔 #GPPodLive

@LightbulbJo performance is linked to understanding the context of your team in your organisation #gppodlive pic.twitter.com/RBZKpSkVsc

#gppodlive as a #tjawards judge in the past i agree with @LightbulbJo the written submissions can let down an interesting entry. Write for the audience

@LightbulbJo Success is about the story as much as the data #gppodlive pic.twitter.com/VzqMvVZa4c
— Gaelle Delmas-Watson (@GaelleDWatson) April 25, 2018
Like the idea of self-evaluation being used as a measurement metric. Comparing that to peer-evaluation might be an idea too?
Very much agree with @LightbulbJo that too many organisations focus on completion & happy sheets in order to brag "this is how awesome we are"#GPPodLive— Michael Osborne (@MikeOzzy) April 25, 2018
Indeed. That self evaluation captured over time can be interesting too. #gppodlive use existing processes to capture that data (121’s, perf mgt, team meetings etc) you can even give people a piece of paper and a pen https://t.co/GGw88NCiXL

Lesson I learned long ago if all you measure is bums on seats you are measuring the wrong end of the learner! 🤣 🤣 #gppodlive @GoodPractice
— Lesley Price (@lesleywprice) April 25, 2018
.@mentormullarkey talking about different ways of evaluating… move on from happy sheet. What behaviours are you looking to see #gppodlive pic.twitter.com/Zly3nWIngS

46% of managers are not involved in supporting their direct reports in a learning capacity #gppodlive @LightbulbJo
— Jo Wainwright (@JoWainwright0) April 25, 2018
This is a shocking statistic. Didn't realise it would be quite that high… #gppodlive https://t.co/BRlFkJuO4E

#gppodlive IMHO L&D need to become translators, learn the language of all parts of the organisation, bring people together to improve learning which has positive impact on both individual and business outcomes

Now up @PhilWillcox of @emotionat_work… #gppodlive
The skills L+D are missing atm are not going to be solved by courses OR resources – we need both pic.twitter.com/qrZcGjP9Zd

Go @PhilWillcox! All the research shows that it's not just courses or resources but the best solution to solve the problem! #gppodlive

Stop evaluating everything! You dont need to evaluate everything … somethings, dont need evaluating at all… @PhilWillcox #gppodlive
— Jo Wainwright (@JoWainwright0) April 25, 2018
Why don't we ask the learners how they want to receive this?
We have talked about being learner centric for a long time. Now is the time to be.
But do learners always know how they learn best?
Interesting debate going on#GPPodLive
— Michael Osborne (@MikeOzzy) April 25, 2018
#gppodlive @owenferguson is right. Learners don't always know what works. They need more information about how to learn then they can choose like @AndyLancasterUK wants
— Stella Collins (@stellacollins) April 25, 2018
Loving @martincouzins defence of plain English. It's not performance support, it's doing a job better #GPPodLive
