Listen "119 — How can data transform your L&D function?"
Episode Synopsis
Two weeks ago we spoke about how all of our training efforts have the potential to create data. This week, we're discussing what that looks like in practice. Sky's Derek Mitchell joins Owen and Ross G to discuss how we can collect and visualise data so that it can help us shape our learning engagements. If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP and @OwenFerguson. Derek is on LinkedIn.

It explains that the Luddites were not anti-technology, but were anti-wage-cuts, which could be a useful lesson for those of us embracing automation at work. The article is available here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17770171 The book that Owen recommended was Creative Selection: Inside Apple's Design Process by Ken Kocienda, available at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Selection-Inside-Apples-Process-ebook/dp/B07F18HYX3 Ross recommended Adam Kay's This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor, available at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Going-Hurt-Secret-Diaries-ebook/dp/B06XWDJRGS With thanks to Mike Koenig for his 'Happy Halloween' sound effect, downloaded from http://soundbible.com/2080-Halloween-Vocals.html / CC BY 3.0.
