Performance Based Learning Q&A with Colin Hahn
Channel: Pursuing Performance via Performance Based L&D
Date: 2022-12-07

Colin Hahn asked to have another meeting to chat about Performance Oriented Learning and I agreed, if we recorded it for sharing with others. We did this on December 7, 2022. 

His questions were planned to be:
1.  Background: your introduction, what is performance-focused L&D
     *   What is NOT performance-focused L&D (or, what do people mistakenly think counts as performance-focused, but really isn’t)?

2.  Why should L&D focus on critical business issues?
     *   What are symptoms that L&D is not focused on critical business issues (e.g., struggling to show ROI or challenges in measuring transfer)?
     *   What distracts L&D from focusing on critical business issues?

3.  What skills/processes/infrastructure are needed by L&D to successfully focus on critical business issues?
     *   How should L&D leaders work with enterprise leaders that ask for training rather than support on critical business issues?

4.  What would it look like to take a critical business issue approach to common asks like…
     *   Leadership development – “we need better frontline leadership! We need leaders to keep their people engaged to reduce turnover!”
     *   Project management – “we need more project managers that can get things across the finish line! Our project managers need to be better at dealing with uncertainty and driving change!”
     *   Future readiness – “we need to upskill the workforce so we are ready for the future of work! And AI!”

5.  How can L&D leaders get started on this journey?
     *   What’s an “easy win” that can demonstrate the power and value of this approach?
     *   What books/experts/etc should people use to learn more?

Whatever I didn't answer specifically I intend to address in a Blog Post over at The Pursuing Performance Annex at: https://tppannex.wordpress.com/
