3) My point － the way L&D operates is a structural problem. We need either C-Level people who look more critically (in a positive sense) at the way we do things OR L&Ds to step up their game and push for change. ✌🏻

"Incentives are the cornerstone of modern life", Freakonomics says.

See how this phrase deeply affects L&D in the thread 👇🏻

2) So how come we are surprised that we're still doing more and more training, instead of (way) fewer initiatives, but with a higher impact?

[Lavinia Mehedintu @lavimariam]

1) Traditionally, L&Ds will be compensated with higher budgets, promotions, higher salaries, or internal/ external praise (incentives) if they deliver high numbers of training hours (action).

@tylertringas Maybe I can avoid another concussion by getting your advice 😅

@tylertringas @tylertringas, late to this party, but I'd actually love to understand the definition of "playing startup". I think it has an underlying meaning of what Founders can get better at, something you become aware of mostly by hitting your head against the wall 100 times.

@AskWIZZ my flight from London Luton to Bucharest was delayed with 2 hours and a half. I know I have the right to get something in return for this but your website is really bad at explaining HOW to get it - I think it’s a meal voucher.
