Podcasts about organisational development manager

My guest this week is Samantha Purdy who has built up a career in Learning & Development and then the broader, over-arching Organisational Development.Like many, Samantha felt a bit lost after College and wasn't sure about which direction to take. Despite considering to do a Social Care degree, she also looked at other options and applied for some Apprenticeships too. One was for a Business Administrator in local government and just happened to be in their Organisational Development team. As Samantha's skills and capability developed she was asked by her Manager if she wanted to start delivering some training. So as a 19 year old, she wrote and delivered her first training programme. Pretty scary stuff for someone so young and Samantha admits to struggling with imposter syndrome even now.As her career progressed it took her out of public service and into the private sector.... and back again. Along the way she has picked up line management responsibility and Samantha talks about how it was easy to start in a new role as a line manager than transitioning into that type of position from within a team. She also talks about  where in one Management role she oversaw a large team and her realisation that she really missed being 'hands-on' so left for something that was a good blend between leading a team but still being involved in daily activities herself.This is a fantastic conversation for anyone who has wondered about the world of L&D and OD, and considered if this would be a good career as an alternative to HR. I hope you enjoy listening.Support the show

Curation is a term that has been used in L&D for a number of years but its actual purpose often seems to be diluted down to ‘making more content'. As discussed in this episode, curation is a useful skill to have in the L&D kitbag to draw on expertise and know-how that resides elsewhere, repurposed as solutions to real problems. Thank you to Shona Hodgson for suggesting this topic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Curation in L&D is about finding content, shaping it and helping everyone to apply it to their roles. When looking for content to curate, don´t forget internal sources. Before looking for content be crystal clear about what you are trying to achieve. Being clear on the problem you are trying to solve makes it far easier to recognise relevant content when you find it and to quickly adapt it. Ask yourself what experience you want people to have and what that engagement piece will be. You don´t need any special tech to be able to do curation successfully. When you curate something you still need to build in support tools and resources. BEST MOMENTS 'We don´t have to create everything from scratch' 'When you are laser-focused on solving real problems, then often the solution stares you in the face' 'I think am I adding value beyond that piece of content.

Recent research shows that just 7% of L&D professionals evaluate the impact of learning initiatives on the wider business but in these uncertain and evolving times it’s essential that L&D becomes all about alignment; with both business aims and with evolving ways of learning. But what does alignment actually look like? In this podcast we speak to three experts to gain their insight. Laura Overton, founder of Towards Maturity, discusses what is holding alignment up and what L&D should really be measuring to assess value, while Julian Stodd, Founder and Captain at SeaSalt Learning describes the new world of learning, of social and community, and why L&D need to act as agile facilitators not controllers of learning. Andrew Jacobs, Talent Management and Organisational Development Manager at London Borough of Lewisham, agrees with the importance of embracing new ways of learning but stresses the need to challenge the use of certain methods and technology to ensure it’s what is needed for the business. Andrew also discusses his experience of stripping back his L&D offering to truly align with what people want and what they’re already using. Do you feel that more needs to be done to align L&D with business objectives in your organisation? How are you embracing evolving learning methods?
