If your business needs a new capability fast, do you have the systems to build it fast?
In Episode 2 of “The Learning Velocity Series,” Performance Matters Podcast host Michael Thiel digs into the “how” behind learning velocity with two of GP Strategies’ sharpest minds: Chief Learning and Innovation Officer, Matt Donovan, and Senior Director of Consulting, Ella Richardson.
Together, they unpack what it takes to move at the speed of business—from atomic instructional design and modular, embedded learning to the two synchronized tracks every learning organization must run on: operational excellence today and transformation for tomorrow.
Matt and Ella tackle the hard questions: Why has the percentage of L&D teams seen as strategic partners dropped from 50% to just 19%? Why do organizations default to “just build something” when they feel behind? Where is AI personalization truly delivering, and where has it been overhyped?
You’ll also hear why “going slow to go fast” isn’t a contradiction, and why judgment—knowing what not to do—may be the most undervalued leadership skill in the age of AI.
