The Fuse Podcast

In this episode, I chat with Bonnie Beresford about how L&D can link learning to measurable business outcomes. Bonnie is an industry-recognized human capital strategist, performance consultant, presenter, and author. She leads the learning and performance analytics practice at GP Strategies. With over 20 years of experience in the field, Bonnie's hallmark is linking investments in people to measurable business outcomes. We talked about a lot during this episode including: * How to use a measurement map to demonstrate the value of your learning initiatives * The importance of curiosity and why learning measurement is about both proving and improving learning * The questions you need to ask your internal stakeholders to uncover the business needs * Specific ways you can analyze your data to uncover insights * How to segment your data to avoid burying key insights in gross averages * Why L&D needs to follow the money trail to find out what matters to C-suite And lots more!

In this episode, Fuse’s Chief Storyteller, Steve Dineen is joined by Charles Jennings, founder of the 70:20:10 Institute, to talk about how L&D can make that shift from courses to creating measurable business value. You’ll find out: * How L&D can perform at the speed of the business * How to build new capabilities across L&D teams * Why Working hand-in-hand with internal stakeholders is key to identifying business challenges and goals * And why L&D needs to start looking at tasks not just competencies, capabilities and behaviours.

In this episode, I chat with Ade Risidore about the importance of creating safe spaces for your people to learn and grow. Ade is the head of marketing at Fuse Universal, the father of two very talented children, and one of the most selfless leaders I’ve worked with. We talk about everything from what happens when we feel stressed and how that impacts our ability to learn and perform, the importance of open and honest communication (even when that involves conflict) and what leaders can do to ensure their teams feel safe. Ade also shares how he uses questions and books to support his team members (including your truly) to reflect, grow and develop their skills.

In this episode, Jessie Parker chats with Shane Coady-Barrett about how to build learning communities as safe spaces that fuel people's growth and encourage experimentation.

In this episode, you'll hear the first of our five-part L&D Business Performance Series where we’ll be chatting with experts and walking you through how to Design, Build, Engage and Measure learning to drive Performance. In this first session of the series, Jessie Parker and Ilona Brannen talk about how to design purposeful learning experiences that excite, engage and delight your people. Far too often when designing learning experiences, we forget who we’re designing for and why they need it. We spend months creating content only to find that it's never used, and delivers little value. In the first session in our series, you'll learn: * Why learning design needs to be purposeful * How to plan purposeful learning * What skills are needed to deliver real value using digital learning
