Much of my time has been spent in recent months considering useful metrics for learning products and services.

A fair share of the debate about metrics in L&D focuses on learning metrics and… Continue reading Pushing or pulling? (or share of compliance)

Pragmatism and data – the way forward
Roy and I held this event on the basis that best practice is all well and good, but it is rare. Very rare.

So that means me.… Continue reading Data analytics needs to become a reflex not a chore. We have lessons to learn in L&D.
