As we worked through the Beyond Performance re-branding last year, the team and I talked a lot about how the learning and development (L&D) world needs to change and how we could support that change.  This recent article from Lynda Donovan and published in the ILT on-line magazine mirrors our thinking.

For change to take place there has to be a ground swell of support pushing new behaviours to the forefront and allowing old, less effective behaviours to die off; a wave of new intention and energy that creates a different way of doing things. Self-evaluation, learning, capability growth and behaviour change lie at the heart of any change. Understand your current state, learn new things, develop new skills and put them into action.

Developing management capability is at the heart of business growth and yet investment in this critical area is often treated as the poor cousin. At Beyond Performance we stand behind the philosophy that organisations only grow when people grow — this underpins everything we do.
