The Ryan Report: November 2023

Remember when we all worked remotely? Work continued successfully and many of us rediscovered a quality of life and we have settled into a new normal, hybrid work – a flexible blend of intentional in-person and remote time.

In this video, I outline the 4 P’s: Product, Process, Performance and People. Join me as I describe and show … 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

The Ryan Report: June 2023

What would you do? New machine that requires 8 people/shift to operate and 24 hours to prepare training as they install the machine and 1 operating manual.
