"This book captures sustainable shifts to a more appropriate, effective L&D function, better suited to modern businesses of the today and the future. I am particularly impressed with the author for grabbing the lessons learnt and best bits from the disciplines of marketing, digital agencies and start-ups to bring their speed into the L&D sphere. Taking L&Ders beyond the buzzwords, the author really understands agile, lean and design thinking in a way many L&Ders feel overwhelmed by. With practical suggestions, a myriad of story examples, support to build a new learning ecosystem, and more this book really is a must read for modern L&Ders in business."
Michelle Parry-Slater, Learning and Development Director, Kairos Modern Learning
