HumanWorkz podcast with Anish Lalchandani

Summary:

Does learning happen in the flow of work for reskilling? How does psychological safety support learning? Will the 70-20-10 model stay relevant as the future of work evolves?

My interview with Charles focused on how psychological safety is the bedrock for continuous improvement, performance and reskilling initiatives. Reskilling requires a different approach to learning in the flow of work. We also discussed how investment in learning tech could be helpful if focused on applying skills and providing performance support. The L&D teams must move beyond content, build more context in the design, and use AI to bring the learning environment close to the working environment. We discussed the 70-20-10 model and how it can make learning effective and relevant.
