The Ryan Report: May 2024

Learning and development professionals need to provide solutions … Continue reading

Can you “C” see your way to performance success?

Vincent Price coined the phrase, “I know what I like … and I like what I know” and while he was referring to art, I see L&D teams with different operational requests provide one solution. We’re missing the need of the broader learning community with this model, to be blunt, not every training request or … Continue reading
